"open gently." i don't know why but i thought that was so cute. so i "gently" opened the top and unrolled the brown paper around it:
my jay ryan print came in today! it's even prettier in person. i love.love.love it. looking at it i'm thinking it's like a 4 drop print, 3 plus key. i love the color bends in it. i always loved doing color blends when i did litho, it always came out so cool looking. but dang, registration was always so hard for me. for the most part, everything usually came out looking fine. anyway, now all i need is a frame.*****
edit: i bought a frame and the print now has it's very own spot on my wall:
ah, looks so good hung up and framed. though now it just makes me want to get more. i love the way posters look framed. i wish i could frame all my art stuff. too bad that cost money. then again that doesn't stop me and i actually have a few up and framed. if i ever get my room clean enough, my "art wall" will get photographed.
for now here's one corner of room. so there's my new jay ryan print, above that is my fall out boy/folie a deux print (which is in a new frame as well, i finally found one that's 11"x17"), the huge poster/frame is twilight, which i've already posted about, and the one under it is one of my lithographs i did based on over it's song, where the sky begins, and happens to be the first time i did a color blend. i just ended up framing it today, using the old frame i had for my fob/fad poster which was too big for that print. oh and you can also see a bit of my 4'x4' painting peeking out on the side. as you can see i really don't have much room for more...but you never know.till later.
i guess i'd call this wall my "music/concert" wall. covered in photos and posters of band i like and concerts i've been too. most of the concert posters are ones i've "stolen" from the streets.
new found glory poster i got when they did a signing at HIC the night before surf-fest '04. bonus - james from reggie and the full effect was playing keyboards for them then so he was there and drawing on all the posters. mines has a sash around jordan that says "james." oh and elise stole that badminton/body card thing from the cafe awhile back for me since i loved it so much.
all-american rejects poster that sam got, one for me and one for laura, above the urinals in pipeline. they were selling thoes posters outside for $5. we were able to get tyson, after sneaking into vip, and nick to sign them. plus, 311, blink 182, & lifehouse flyers for concerts i went to.
i put the polaroids from my birthday this year in a frame. i love it. good times. and part of the poster for the brand new concert i went to that was mega epic. no opening band, just two hour of brand new, so good.
i'm using the stool i made as my nightstand. i didn't go to that jason mraz concert but i went to the first one he had on oahu. and a signed national product photo from the first time i actually meet them, but was the second time i saw them play.
above my bed. more music posters and my collage painting i did last fall. along with my hello kitty plush doll that i got one christmas sometime during elementary school and my hello kitty fleece blanket i got a few years ago.
around my desk area. skateboarding related collage i did for intermediate drawing a couple of years ago. pete alexander, my chick-a-saurus i made in 3-D intro. my "jo-r" hawai'i licence plate. my all time low photos, minus rian. playing card screenprint of my face from ryan c. wave/surf calendar. nagamine homeless photo. quotes. a tons more.
another view of the wall from the end of my bed.
the cranes hang from my bed. also a shot of my other wall, the "art" wall.
