another anniversary

When I decided to work on my web stuff today I had no idea it had been exactly one year since I had written anything on my blog, I even had to reset my password. I am not someone who would be considered tech savvy  so spending extra time on the computer isn't really my cup of tea...however I recently had a birthday and when pondering about the year past and the one ahead I realized I need to learn how to do these things that seem awkward and even annoying. So let the blogging begin!

well hello old friend

It has been quite sometime since I have been a blogging, so many things and projects have happened eventually I will post some photos.  Last night I made my first stop motion animation with Animacia I wanted to learn the process so that today I could use the same technique to record the first of a new series of paintings I am working on.  Below is the link to " The Death of a Tooth" not bad for a beginner like me! The entire project was done in the course of one night after work with the help of coffee.

The beginings of the bearded lady

This is the mask I'm making for the Fever Ray show at Coachella.  In order to be able to wear it and see the show I had planned on wearing on the side of my head however it's quite heavy with all of the feathers and flowers and would not stay in place....when I placed the mask facing backwards she looked like the bearded lady! All I need is a pair of fake eyelashes and it's perfect.

Moving thoughts

I imagine this little film as something I might weave into a longer film one day... once we actually figure out how to use the program. This is my first attempt at movie making in a digital format. We used our lil polaroid sitting on the window of the moving car and I covered a Mose Allison song. I can't wait to have the time to put together all the ideas floating around in my head, with this new found medium.

It's the process not the product. It's the research and the mistakes. 

When you figure it out and do it better next time. It's finishing what

you start and finally learning something you always wanted to know.
