Ego and the id(iot)

Ego and the id(iot)

Playing around with the type paths and blended objects. Def endless possibilities. second from the bottom i like as it feels almost watercolor-ish to me and thats a cool thing since its all vector.

Its pretty awesome, that I’m and IDIOT kinda of way, that i made it through 4 years of college proudly not being able to turn a computer on, let alone make it do shit. If some had just mentioned it wasn’t going to be a passing phase like the calculator watch (which i9 was sure was gonna take off big!) I might have taken a bit more of interest. Oh the blinding ignorance of the self assured youth… I can now 95% of the time turn the computer on so i got that going for me!

Montreal Sketching

hotel garden Montreal
While in Montreal this past weekend i manged to get in a lil sketching early one morning while the rest of the crew slept the night off. Architecture is not something i spend a lot of time drawing, and i was not in the best of conditions in terms or focus to be giving it my full attention. All in all though it was fun and a decent start; but the perspective is pretty off in a lot of areas. I probably should have taken a bit of time to think about how it was all going to unfold on the page. But being some what sleepy and what not from the day before i just dove in and let the line happen as they may…

I cant remember the name of this hotel but it was next to the holiday inn on Rue Sherbrooke or something like that. Not really the place you would immediately thing to sit down and sketch, but it was far from where i was staying and coffee was across the street, so thats where the magic was attempted.

this is also the last page in the moleskine replacement i got after loosing my last book. So now its back to the moleskine.

REDSUNGLASSES
Color in progress.
The time has come to invest in a broader pallet of water colors and or a better set of primaries.
