THAUMATROPES

Thinking about animation--low-fi.

NATURAL OBJECTS

Was missing the organic quality of natural objects, so I played around with layering and drawing this aloe. Also trying to keep sgraffito and/or the uneven edge. I like the introduction of vibrant red/orange. 

CELESTIAL CASSETTES

Wanting to revisit the tapes, outside of the animation idea. Moved to primary color scheme: celestial feel...Idea of nostalgia.

SWITCHED

Another object from the novel: I like the switch up of acrylic and gouache on watercolor field.

FIGURES WITH WORDS

Still Gouache on Acrylic with touches of ink. I like the white outline and the uneven edges. Wondering what the words should be, I looked at the work of Jean-michel Basquiat---words as texture and mood. 

MIXED TAPES

I started a series of mysteriously unraveling tapes as possible (but ultimately unsuccessful  animations. Again gouache with ink on Acrylic wash.

1X1

This was my first drawing: acrylic wash with ink and gouache overtop. Cassettes were an object from my most recent writing project. I thought the theme would be objects from the 80's.
