Just six more days til my State Fair art contest entries are due. As usual, the deadline has sneaked up on me and I feel totally unprepared. I did get one of my photos printed and sent to me, but, alas, I am never satisfied with the way that digital prints look. Digital photography is really best viewed in a digital format, not on paper. And since nothing can compare with the beauty of a real silver halide print, I have decided to forego entering the photography exhibit this year and plan to cook up some good old analog images by the time next year rolls around. Besides, it’s been far too long since I’ve enjoyed the quiet cave-like feel of a dark room.
Nevertheless, I still want to enter something, considering that I’ve paid the entry fee already, so I’ve decided this is the perfect motivation to finally finish one of my long lost drawings from three years ago. I have a long way to go before the final product is ready to be revealed, but I wanted to share a few details in process…
It’s been a while since I’ve sat down to spend a substantial amount of time on any one drawing. I always gravitate toward the same set-up when working on an art project, and have been doing so since before I can remember. Basically, I sit in the middle of the floor and spread everything out around me. Only difference now is that my mom’s not around to make me clean it up before I go to bed.
