Eye opening experiences.
So, for the past couple months I’ve been in the PAC residency in Houston, TX. Wonderful people, great space, I’ve enjoyed it. Yesterday, Ernesto, one of the artist here invited a group of curators and art enthusiasts from Miami for a studio visit. Talk to them was fun and they brought a lot of positive energy my way. One woman saw some leftover material I have for “THERE AND BACK AGAIN” and she wanted to purchase them on hand. I had recall my mentor explaining a similar experience but it’s never happened to me. It made me think about the totality of value and what it could mean business wise..

So, I thought about what I could do in order to create work that will help me with the series, without necessarily having to be a part of the works, Something that could also be used as good promotional/sales material: character design stuff!
The first couple of pieces within the show had the MC drawn out in a couple different ways. I think I focused more on composition of the scene and not character design as a whole. In order to tell the this story I have to be consistent in it’s imagery. There’s a couple more thoughts about it, but I’d just be rambling.
