iphone fun

Have i ever told you that i LoVe my iphone? well i do! Dillon says i have a problem.... (guess he noticed it while we were traveling) i can't help myself. i love gadgets, i love photography and i love my iphone!

I found an app that allows you to doodle on your photographs. It's called DrawCast. I enjoy it because it gives me a chance to practice painting in faces. I can keep doodling til i feel like it is right and don't have to worry about paint, mess or ruining it!

the first photo (above) was of some street graffiti that i took while walking around downtown Seattle. Then i did some sketching/painting in DrawCast for the second picture.

in the next group i used a photo that i took outside a store in Seattle. It's a pretty, patina'd angel statuary. It was fun to draw on this photo because the face was already set up for me.

doing some painting

i was in the mood to do some more painting ala traci baustista and you know how i like to use non traditional things for my "canvas". so i pulled this old doll storage box out of my closet and set out to giving it a brand new look. the box is a good size; measuring 18x13. but i like working large. when i finished i covered it in several layers on polyurethane, which really made some of the underlayers and dimensional doodling really pop out. if you are at Art Opera next week, you can see it in person. i collaged the sides, back and bottom with tissue paper.



(sorry about the big fat black cat who wouldn't move out of the way when i was taking this picture!)
