I got some of my packets out for the
exquisite corpse out, but I have not received any back yet... I'll have to make some more and hope for the best. If there are little to no responses I'm going to have to take a different approach.
Currently I am working on a silkscreen for my advanced printmaking class. Its a silkscreen based off of the Burning Monk.
So far I have drawn the image out, separated the mylar for each layer, and exposed my screen. I plan on starting to print it tomorrow. I never really used the pinhole registration method when it was a sophomore, but now I appreciate it very much so I took the time to get everything cut down and hole punched properly.
Things to do:
1. Work on print
2. Work on piece for the Chance show
3. Do more for exquisite corpse
4. Sketches
5. Prepare for show in Union
I took a look at the suggested artists Dana Shutz, Theo Rosenblum, and The Chapman Brother's. They were all great fun to look up.
I particularly loved The Chapman Brother's stuff. They're so grungy and crazy.
I also redicovered Fuco Ueda's art. I love the tentacles.
In my last blog I mentioned that I love original fairy tales and comparing them to the disney versions of them.
Here is the Little Mermaid.

The difference in the original? When the little mermaid walks on her new legs, it feels like she is being stabbed. Her love interest loves to see her dance, so she dances for him while she feels the pain. She also dies in this version...because she does not marry the prince and she could not kill him.
Its funny...this dark version of the story is actually the one I grew up with. My parent's bought me an animated version of the original tale rather than the disney one.
Here is the start of the movie
