Having a daily art project has been pretty enjoyable, and I’m getting a lot of good feedback on flickr, especially via the Make Something Cool Every Day group (which is such an awesome source of talent and inspiration). And that’s nice. It makes me feel like less of a fuck up.
This here piece is the most recent non-meat sections related artsy thing. I was inspired by this tutorial on Poppytalk, which was in turn inspired by this great piece on Mustard and Sage.
Let me tell you – this was a pain in the ass. Enjoyable, in a “I’m-in-a-stamping-trance-for-several-hours-and-watched-season-5-of-Grey’s-Anatomy” but kind of tedious. And I felt like a crazy person. Buuuuut, the end result is nice. I’d like to make a larger one, but would probably use stencils instead of stamps like I did here.
If anyone is wondering, the finished piece is about 12 by 9 inches, on canvas paper. I used gouache and a small letter stamp set for the printing. Oh, and the lyrics are from Sunset Rubdown’s “You Go On Ahead” from last year’s Dragonslayer album.
