The Vader project at C4 and Star Wars Flickr Love

No, I wasn’t there. In fact I had no idea it even happend until today when someone sent me a link to a Flickr gallery showing it. I really like this project, very creative. After seeing this, I’m inspired to do something similar with Stormtroopers. I think the troopers would be a fun take on this concept because there are millions of them and they all look the same (except for maybe a badge or shoulder pad showing rank). I think it’s time the troopers got a little individuality, even tho they are all just clones.

Really great concept using a Stormtrooper helmet, Young Stormtroopers In Love. Nice work Red and Jonny.

More Vader!

Last but not least, Star Wars Origami!

doodles

While clearing off my desk the other day, I found a couple of doodles buried in the mess. I made sure to scan them before they got tossed with the rest of junk mail, magazines, stems and endless piles of papers.

I found my moleskin sketchpad that Steph got for me last summer. It had a couple of doodles in it I thought I would share.

Valentine

Well, it’s been ages since I last posted something here, so I’d better add something.
Here’s what I made Steph for Valentines day.

Don’t worry, I had it done on Valentines day, I only lagged in sharing with everyone else.

Here’s a link to a bigger version of the finished product – a being valentine

put a cork in it

It seems that I have earned a reputation now for taking the wire top and cork from a bottle of chamange and making a chair and character from them. Here is a picture of my latest and greatest creation…

tracer doodle

r2witco — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 21:54:06 +0000

Occasionally I find myself with no inspiration (gasp, does this sort of thing really happen to creative peeps). When this happens, I have found a little exercise that helps to pass the time, keep my hand moving, and work on composition. I like to call these little exercises “tracer doodles”. The point of these is not to make a well polished piece of art, but more or less just get ideas flowing. I try not to spend anymore time than it takes to find and trace the images.

Last night, was one of those uninspired times. Bored, while waiting for my fiance to get out of class, I pulled out my pad of tracing paper and grabbed the closest form of media, an asian newspaper.

Coffee shop art

r2witco — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 00:15:48 +0000

No, I don’t have any of my artwork up in a coffee shop (yet), but I am displaying some of my artwork in a coffee shop.

How am I doing that, you might ask? Simple, I decorated my fiance’s aprons that she wears for work, in a coffee shop.
