Final Etching!

Final print of my etching plate. 

This could get mono-tonous

More Monoprints. I worked yesterday so was a tired wreck and couldn't go to open drawing, so I did my own workshop. 

Valentine Prints

Yesterday my friend Emma Brook and I did some Valentine's day prints. We wanted to use love song's as the base for the poster ideas, so this first one is a lyric from Elliot Smith's 'Thirteen', and the second is from a BIZZARE Oingo Boingo song called 'I love little girls'.

We designed the posters together, but split the drawing for each poster, on the first poster I drew the octopus, pool, and text, and Emma drew the girl sitting on the side. On the second poster I drew the creepy man and the text, and Emma drew all the little girls on the man's hands.

This was the result!

Monorail! No, Monoprint.

Yesterday in the Open Drawing evening workshops with Jeffrey Lee we did monoprinting! I had never done it before and it was wonderful. I made this for my friend Emma, about a boy called Curtis who was on wife swap, he loved chicken nuggets. I realise it's not a very sensitive print. Those are for next week!

Defecation, Defecation, Defecation, Defecation, Defecation, Defecation!

Defecation. from Kim Smith on Vimeo.

In class we have been working on our Author project. This week we had to get into groups of creatures that had similarities, and then we were given a word, and had to make a film about how all the creatures did that word. Our word was defecation. Lovely!

So we decided to look more down the semiology route of the effects of our surroundings and how we edit what we intake, get rid of 'waste' ideas and then what comes out.

We have been working hard in Kim's flat for the past two days making this animation, tra la!
