I was cleaning out files today and found this little nothing animation I had started last semester. It's simple and is nothing more than a first pass I am sure I did when I was frustrated and was supposed to do something else, but it's cute and really does remind me of me and also of everyone I know.

Yes, that was the word that popped in my head with an 'n' and then an 'i' with about that much space between.

I was thinking "creepy adults" at the time, but afterwards it's looking a lot like my entire immediate family. Hrm.

I have a long-running affair with patterns. Or padderens, as my brother said as a little kid.

Anyway, Stage 1, obviously all from the same foot
(most stuff links to a larger size.)

MaSoDaMo day 2 and 3. I didn't realize quite what I was getting myself into when I started this. I am putting down my tablet for a few days.

Honestly, this is mainly just an arguement that I need to get off my computer and paint and batik. While it's a useful exercise, um, it looks a tad too much like a photograph to justify the time put into it, especially at a smaller size. Note to self: keep it stylized on the compy.

You bitches better look at it full scale to see the detail.

"LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking."
"A dangerous pastime."
"I know."


In my first fundamental studio way back in the day we had a project where we had to look at a natural object and then take a color inventory of it, a proportional representation of all the colors. I liked this exercise. After a conversation today I thought about how over time the colors around you tend to change and I wanted to remember the colors in my life right now. Unlike in the original exercise I'm not aiming for actual accuracy - colors and their sizes will be determined by 1) what colors I see the most of, 2) which colors are most important, and 3) the colors that are the most memorable. I just need it to *seem* about right to me. I'm big on this whole seeming right business when it comes to color. Color theory drives me nuts because for some reason I don't want my understanding of color to have any academics behind it at all. Basic color theory is ok, mostly because it seems intuitive - it's the more advanced stuff that makes me cover my ears and go "Na na na na na!" I want to be able to keep acting on intuition and not have any learning get in the way. This is the opposite of how I am with everything else. I love Pause, but I will not take his Color & Light class. Some other time I will complain about my hatred for using cyan, yellow and magenta as primaries. Red, yellow, blue just feels right, even if it has no place in computing or printing.

Anyway, my room is


Rather boring, it's true. Mostly white and wood. This is in transition though, but who knows when I will get around to fixing things the way I want them.

The clothes I wear right now are


This is not counting jeans because for some reason I don't really include those in my head. The yellow chunk is mostly a scarf I wear frequently. Yes, I am counting rainbow as one block, accounting for a favorite purse, the only belt I really wear and an umbrella. My clothes have changed a lot over time and from season to season.

My favorite colors are


I like all these colors a lot, but some are more equal than others. This is why I hate it when someone asks me what my favorite color is. Also changes over time.

I wonder how all this looks on other monitors. I would hate for people to associate me with the wrong colors! Also, notice how I forced myself not to sort everything by rainbow order for the most part. I wanted to, but then I would see the relationships too much and not each color.

Anyway, I want about 50 of these color inventories, all describing different things. I don't know what I would do with it yet, but they are very interesting to me. Maybe I should get other people to describe their lives and tastes?

Sometimes when my life is feeling a bit more out of my control than I would like I want to do detailed drawings where I just try to copy objects (or faces usually) as faithfully as possible. It's not about being expressive, it's about giving myself an academic task and doing it. Anyway, sometimes I get part of the way through it and I think, "Oh yeah, I don't do this more often because laying down value takes for fucking ever."

And then I might be all like, "Never mind this tedious bullshit. I do what I want! Hand me a sharpie!"

I think this has something to do with my out of control Wikipedia run the other day. (Some of the topics covered: courtesans of the French royalty, various disorders of the X and Y chromosomes, Chinese footbinding, prison sexuality,  the number 3, the mind's eye, hijra, and Russian fairytales) Anyway, then maybe I tell myself a story and draw all the things that happen like a map.





You'll have to trust me that it was sweet. I totally give myself a high five for the Ski Free ending. Anyway, that was how my night was.
