Summerfest

So I've been going to summerfest a lot this year, and just like Pridefest I have found a multitude of influences. Color can play an enormous part in what your final project looks like, but I've also found that taking a creative approach to sounds and conversing that into a 2D project can end up quite wonderfully. I have a whole bunch of ideas on how to incorporate music in to my work and make an intangible thing, tangible. Thus I've been sketching up a bunch of these ideas and hope to have a June piece all though by the look of time it seems that I may be doing two pieces in July. You know me, always slow on the uptake :)

Pridefest

So on Sunday I spent 8 hours at Pridefest and thought of interesting ideas to incorporate into my art work. Being as it was Pridefest there was plenty of rainbow inspired items as well as plenty of brightly colored people and objects. This excessive display of color made me think of how to use color in my own pieces to add emphasis and to overall brighten the mood. Unfortunately I did not have a camera with me, therefore there were plenty of portraits and photo ops that I had to pass up. Regardless, this experience made me think of color and reminded me to always bring a camera with you.
