After I finished all of my final tests and papers I went into the print studio and did something just to relax, and actually this was a lot of fun. I had never done anything like this before but it was something I really enjoyed.
I took a scrap of sintra and just began to scribble on it with sharpie markers. I have a few with thick and thin tips, and I used them all to give me a variety of line. No subject matter, I just scribbled. It was really relaxing. Then I began to carve it. Originally my thought was just to make a one color print but in the middle of my carving I got antsy and wanted to print. In the middle of carving is when my A.D.D. manifests itself the most so instead of pushing through the feelings of antsiness, I mixed up a few colors and made a two color abstract print.
The print size is 20" x 6 1/2" and I only printed 6 with the colors (2 of each color, Blue Yellow and Orange) and 2 just Brown and Black making 8 prints total. It was a quick print too, it only took me 3-4 hours to do from start to finish. I think they look interesting by themselves but my wife and I started putting them together to see what they would look like.
It almost changes the image completely putting them together. This again was really fun, quick and relaxing that i've started working on a few more to play/experiment some more.
Let me know what you viewers think. I get a lot of viewers but no comments which makes me think the views are just from people who stumble across my blog instead of people who follow me or even care what I do. So I would like to hear from you. Maybe its all crap, maybe it's just "meh" and maybe you guys think its awesome. But I don't know that because you haven't told me yet...
