what i'm working on now

Ocd, expanded

I'd say 90% are from things I've collected. Magazine cut-outs, etc. I wanted to throw it out, but why not use them? they are free. I suppose it reminds me of scrapbooking, the way you just take some old pictures and turn it into a cute alphabet book. Repurposing.
I try to do one a day, but sometimes ideas don't come together. So I keep a pile of things to use.
Sometimes I try to create a card based on the day or my thoughts. But most of the time, I recapture moments from what the objects are.
It's 80% a matter of finding something to put on the card, 15% a matter of arranging it. And 5% trying to remember where you put the glue and the stamps.
Then there's the tech part of scanning it, trying to touch it up.
Someday I'll have 365, then I'll feel complete.

Maybe it'll help if I started explaining them?
Okay, take this one. "state 98". Everyone in Kalama knows what that means, and it's kind of a joke slang by now. But I still have my tickets.


One time while visiting friends, my suit was linty. So I stopped off and got a lint roller and used it once.

One card a day

So nice to have a computer to upload these again...

I was SO frustrated that people liked this one. I didn't get it at the time, but now I can laugh.

Kicking it old school

I was cleaning my studio and found these, my first tags. I was too scared to take them with a real camera, in case it would be traced back to me. (: So I totted around a Polaroid.

Bleach

I have these Bleach pens that we used to use to make tshirts. I thought, hey, why not use them to write on everything. So, here's me testing it. It's a little tricky, cuz it's drippy. But once you get the hang out it, it's quite nice.
Downside is that you have to return to capture a picture, because the bleach takes 15+ minutes of work, and I don't know about you, but I'm not going to be hanging around with a camera, waiting for my graffiti to appear.

Other places I tried were brick and bathroom stalls. Tomorrow I'll see how those did.

Gabe's hummer project

Weird.

Pictures of people flipping off hummers.
Instead of giving them thumbs up.
I wish Gabe had an exact copy of this website, only opposite. Then it should be called www.luvh2.com
