I did that thing again where I fall off the planet. High school would be so much more fun if it were like High School Musical, as much as I hate to say that. It's true though and we all know it. I wouldn't be so tired. :/

This post has no real update of my life, but I come with a purpose.

The Bucket List Project - My Concentration Portfolio

Bucket List [buhk-it list] -- A list of things to do before you die. Comes from the term "kicked the bucket".

 What's on your bucket list? I want to know.

( The story behind the project...Collapse )

If you would like to be a part of this project please join The Bucket List Project group on Facebook. I would also love it if you told your friends about the project. I want word to reach every corner of the Earth, so I can have lists from all walks of life. If you do not have a Facebook, fret not my friends! Check my contact page and email me your list. Please include your name in the email as I want to contact you if one of your items is drawn from the bucket. However, I really would prefer the lists in FB form as they will be easier for me to keep track of. There are so many members in the group now that I won't be able to track you down even if I wanted to. Which I don't.

This project will continue until the end of April. Watch 'The Bucket List Project' page on this site for news on projects, to see what dreams are pulled and to read interesting stats about the project. Keep your eyes on this blog for videos, photos and other little snippets that will help me remember this journey.

What do you want to do before you die?

P.S. As of Feb 5 at 5:30 pm PST: 149 list items from 49 people have been thrown in the bucket.
P.S.S. I have an online portfolio now!
P.S.S.  You guys are the stars of my concentration portfolio/final project. I'm forever grateful for every list that I receive and I truly appreciate your all of your dreams.

 

Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I did a public post, but I swear, I have not disappeared.
I'm currently in my A.P. Studio Art class and it occurred to me that I could post my work on here and see what you guys think. It's a multimedia collage and it's been a work in progress for quite a while now. I'm planning on finishing it by the end of next week though and I'm rather excited.

A few notes:
- It's not done
- The Photoshop on this computer seems to exaggerate the contrast, so the images will look a bit dull. I'll have to take the piece home to do the final color touches.
- I will be adding two figures to the beach
- It will be a 18x24in poster as a final, so I have a small image and an image that is zoomed to full size so you can get an idea of the detail

How/What:
- Sketch in photoshop using tablet
- Digital photography for background base images (own photos)
- Went crazy with water colors/ink (very fun day) then scanned and added to piece
- Tons of layer and lots of patience

After looking at these images for a little while, I'M REALLY BUGGED BY THE COLOR. It's so bright in Photoshop, but once it's saved everything goes crazy dull. I'll have to fix that real fast before I have an aneurysm or somthing.

Wow, I'm actually starting to get some very strong angry feelings here. BLERGH. & it's rather blurry, which makes absolutely no sense. The tree is dead clear in Photoshop. I've got to get this work to another computer ASAP.

I'll be sure to post the final, for my own sake I think, because this is just bugging the crap out of me. Anyways, what do you guys think so far? Constructive criticism is so very much appreciated. Go easy on anything having to do with color/contrast/brightness because, trust me, it'll be fixed.


P.S. Duuude, Glee was pretty good last night. Puck = mine, kthxbye
P.S.S. I TOTALLY MISSED MY 3 YEAR LJ BIRTHDAY. LET'S MAKE THE CUPCAKES NOW.
