Satellite

6/26/2010

Here's my "Satellite" illustration for IF and also my "Technology" illustration for Point of Departure. I love it when I can combine two projects! For the Point of Departure I had to make something with this picture of a cell phone. I forgot, AGAIN, to scan the image before I started cutting.

If you can see some faint white lines on the side of my finished image, that is my new scanner problem. After fiddling for an hour with it, I gave up. If anybody knows how to fix this, please let me know. It may just be the end of my old HP scanner. :(

Lisa and I are a bit behind in our Point of Departure project. Below is the picture that she gave me for May. May's theme was "fashion" and I was supposed to make a collage with this picture from an old Eatons Department Store catalogue.

Of course I've seen many pictures of how people dressed a hundred years ago, but I still found the images extremely odd. The women seem to be bent at the waist. They look a little deformed and I found the ad somewhat creepy. I'm so glad we don't have to wear uncomfortable clothes these days. However, lots of people do anyways so maybe not much has changed. I felt an overwhelming desire to cut this picture up and it was almost too late to scan it. I did manage to reassemble it so you could see it.

I found these little boys on the back cover of an old book about crafts for boys. It was also a little creepy because two of the boys have little black moustaches. I didn't do that! Maybe some little boy who didn't like crafts did!!

For the "paisley" IF, I decided to try out a particularly nice piece of styrofoam that I'd been saving. I used a pencil to imprint the design and then Speedball printing ink. I printed on various types of paper. I'm not sure what I'll do with them, but I liked the results. Which one do you like best? You can click them if you want to enlarge them.
