Looking forward to 2015 goals.

The last few months, I’ve been roughing out an idea for my 2015 art goal. Since our last move, I’ve not had a studio to work in. Studio or not, I need to make art and the media I have at hand is digital art. I’ve resisted digital art in general because I consider myself to be stylistically nearly the opposite of a graphic artist. Posted 17 second doodle animation example below is the type of "stuff" that just happens with out a plan or honed graphic artist "skills". 

But, lately I realize my standards for what digital art is has been based on graphic art from past decades. Also, digital art, and computer screens to view art on has come a long way since 1991. So? while I continue to write / revise my fiction, I’ve drafted up a 2015 computer art goal. 

Learning by doing to better understand what digital art is and improve my skills. I'm posting today to hold myself publically accountable to this goal.

2015 computer art goal — 50/52

50 digital art projects, one per week, (-2 weeks vacation ) with a social networking publicity component.

P.s. don’t worry it’s not going to be a 365 post every day of the year art goal like 2010 or a page / post a day like 2011. 

Also the strange even to me 2012 ‘M’ project, I’m not worried about it, I’m moving forward.

2013? — Was a year of clay for me. See: art blogs if you like Narrative Notes or portfolio page, www.uvabe.com .  (also something for me to work on, consolidating all blogs into one blog with a time-line. We shall see how that goes :)

2014? Was a writing / revising year, and also why I know I miss art terribly and plan to both write fiction and make art in 2015.

Note I wrote in October, 2014.

In transition again. 

If a person happened to wonder. Yes, I’m still writing. The unedited daily posts require revision. In 2014 I have been revising the 2011 story.

I so very much want to post something here. 

Like everybody else, must find that elusive empirical what? When I figure it all out, I’ll be sure to let it be known, tweet about it even, etc... 

Until then, ☮ + ❤ be grand ya’ll.

derivative post 1.

Today's post here May 3, 2014, was a test for photographing art derivative slips. 

—
M  art derivative slip project. 

The art work in progress for the slips is documented on inkclay.

This art project is thematically about dealing with large numbers. People will say "I've heard that a million times" or talk of millionaires and billionaires, but few people actually attempt to comprehend what a million of anything actually is. 

As of Nov. 1, 2013 I had signed and cut 7,185 art derivative slips.

By Jan. 19, 2014 I had stopped signing and numbering the art derivative slips, but painted and cut down most of the art, easily more than 10k worth of slips.

Later, in 2018 I picked up this project again, cut signed and photographed a few more hundred bundles as doodles. 

As of 2021 I'm picking up this impossible project again as I prepare for the old shack that is our art studio to be torn down. 

I do not know why I decided to start numbering these at 600k, possibly because they are ugly?
