Experiments

I've been working on layering my photographs with transparent glossy screen prints over top. Here are some tests. This is still very much a work in progress, and the end result is not quite determined.

Prints

Here are some photos of the prints I did over the last couple months. 

Even though the class is over I feel like these are mostly a work in process.

screen printing saturdays!

For the last couple months I've been going to Martha Street Studio for screen printing classes. It was so much fun! Thanks to Suzie Smith who was a great instructor! These photos are mostly work in progress. Stay tuned for photos of the final prints.

Go East from Ted Barker on Vimeo.


When we went to the cabin, Ted decided to shoot a bunch of short video clips on my DSLR. We took turns shooting footage, and then Ted did the rest. I hope you enjoy!

The song is called "Go East" by Le loup.

a new collaboration!

I have partnered up with a good friend of mine, Cindy Titus, for a new photography collaboration.  The Project is called CreatureHaunts, and you should check out our Tumblr!

Cindy is a pretty great lady, check out here blog HERE! 

Ted's neat video

Here's a video Ted made of our day trip to Spirit Sands in Spruce Woods. He is great. I still haven't developed my film from that day, but I will soon!

underwater camera

I bought one of those cheap, disposable underwater cameras for our group excursion to the lake. The weather was not cooperating, and the sun was hiding. But it was still fun!

zine zine zine/cover design

These are a couple ideas for the font on the cover of our zine.

faces

Here are some results from our weekly drawing night.









HOW THIS GAME WORKS:

Everyone starts with a paper.
Everyone draws the same feature. for example, everyone draws a nose.
Everyone passes their papers.
Evereyone draws the eyes.
Pass your paper.
Everyone draws the mouth.
Pass your paper.
Etc.

You can mix it up, draw animal parts, accessories. Be creative!

peanut papers

Exams are done!
I spent almost all day scanning and lounging around. Wonderful.
Me and my talented friends over at Places for Peanuts are getting ready to put together our zine. This is only the beginning.

cotton and triangles

This is my newest project!
The idea is not new, it's been steeping in sketchbooks and drawings, but the color palette comes from a plaid, worn in shirt that I found a couple of months ago.
These are the first tests. The fabric is a light, pink-coral cotton. It's summer and sweet and soft.
I'm using light blue-violet acrylic paint and hand cut cardstock stencils.
Silk screening is the next step, but a crash course is needed.

Descripture, the game.

Tuesdays are the one day of the week that are booked solid. Class, work and then off to our weekly get together for our drawing collective, Places For Peanuts. I've mentioned it before, but if you want further information, click here! This week, I got the chance to describe one of my own my drawings (see above), while the the other Peanuts interpreted my words into their own drawings. I said something vague, like, " A tree whose trunk is a naked lady, with circles for leaves. There are two faces on either side, and their hair fills the rest of the frame."
These are the results...

Places For Peanuts

So, the blog is up for my new project, Places For Peanuts! The end goal for this project is to eventually put together a zine, made up of drawings from our collective of talented artists. We get together once a week at a local watering hole to chit chat, inspire, spread news and most importantly, play drawing games.
This image-and-caption was the doing of Matea and Toby. (I think!) It's one of my favs so far.
