well I am trying to come up with whatever biger body of work it is that I should be producing for graduate school the trick is to have a cohesive, yet open tangible idea. Something thought out- and professional- but still having the spark that students tend to lose. novelty with avant garde professionalism is the ideal graduate portfolio (this can be faked...and often is by a shit-load of people... I'm looking at you graphic designers...wink)
anyways, here is a shot of the first image that i did while here in Italy. It is fun stuff, and was kind of a very experimental piece, in that I wasn't sure what the characters should be, or should be doing, or why I even have him in the image. You have to put pencil and ink to paper eventually though, and so this was created in the spirit that I should just get something completed. It has a great effect in-person and the scale lends well to it.
SO, in addition I got my computer finally up again (the radio-shack surge protector burnt out my power-supply) and so I can finally show you all my studio.
I think that over the months that I was working on Justincoombsart.com I kind of found myself reminiscing about the days of old art-for-fun. It seems that we often become branded by our teachers or cohorts and this makes you follow a specific function- but I would more like to reset back to the days of old- and make art for arts sake- this mainly means that I wanna retract those parts of my work that are following some outside influence- and try and find the source of why I really started doing all this.
I ramble... but it is for my own purposes to define what I have been spending these days in Castiglion Fiorentino doing. I am nebulous but I think I can find a central element to run with.
