Rooms

Places I call, or once called; my safe place, my home, my room(s) from memory and observation:

Frustration, Experimenting, Progress.

Okay, so I've spent the past few days tracing one of my sketches in Illustrator (I had a few moments I was about to throw my computer at the wall, thankfully I restrained from doing so) as well as working with 'levels' in Photoshop. So, here is a post of my process in Illustrator. I've made a book in InDesign with all the images of what I've done, which I need to get printed in color at Staples or...some other print shop this weekend. I'm also going to begin reading Thoreau on Sunday. So before Monday my goal is to print the book, make the book, photograph the book, blog the book, read some Thoreau, blog about Thoreau. Let's see what happens....
