Back to Work

Thu Feb 12, 2009, 6:54 PM
I need to work harder. I need to put more effort into my work. It should mean something, represent something. Something other than just a graded assignment that I was able to get handed in. Blah!

----------------

On another note, I've been sort of planning a personal project in the back of my mind. Not too long ago, I posted an entry titled "List of 100 Things". I'd like to possibly expand on that in several ways. I'd like to add more. Call me crazy, but if I can get it up to 1,000 things, I think that would be pretty bitchin'. Also, I want to be able to present it in more of a visual format. I'm sort of thinking photos, which I keep imagining would be either sepia or black and white. In my mind, I visualize kind of ambiguous close-ups, which would mean nothing unless paired with text. That too I imagine would be something simple, like courier new or another type-writer-like font.
I haven't actually sat down and tried to come up with 900 more things yet. I don't know how that will go exactly. If it proves to be more difficult than expected, I might make it somewhat of a collaboration, and ask others what would be on their list. I'm not all together sure how or when I'm going to tackle all of this, but having projects like this stored away for later are sometimes what keep me from going insane.

  • Mood: Homesick
  • Listening to: Across the Universe soundtrack
  • Reading: Leon “Tes One” Bedore's Artist statement
  • Watching: my roommate's beta fish swim around
  • Playing: with my headphone wire
  • Drinking: water

sounds like a project that could get complicated really quickly. sometimes keeping things simple are the hardest, you know? but go for it XDDD

I think I eventually will. It might take me a couple of years to actually put it all together though. But it's a personal project so I can take my sweet time on it ^_^

A world without art? That is impossible.

Yeah, I know what ya mean. If this was a school assignment I would keep it simple. But since I don't have a due date or anything, I think I'll plan big ^_^
