What I want to do before the end of the year.
July 19, 2009
So, tonight, I went out to Wet Paint, a great art store over in Tempe, and finished up with a beer and pasty and the Cornish Pasty Company, and I was with my friend Brandon.
Brandon is an interesting sort of person. I’ve known him since I was roughly 14, and we’ve pretty much stuck together our entire lives. Recently, he entered a “job transition”, that will hopefully be all cleared up by August 10th, but in order to pass the time, he has decided to embrace his artistic side, which I find completely awesome.
So he has a list of projects, some of which he has invited me to come work on, these include:
- painting a 4′x6′ panel
- him getting a car for under $500, and us doing graffiti on it
- taking the same car and either glossing it super white for White board markers, or
- (better) painting the car with chalkboard paint
All of these are incredible creative, and awesome. So I started to think to myself ” I have a ton of crazy ideas, why not get these down?”, so here’s my list.
- Re-do a font I created in college, add ligatures, change the name, and release it to the League of Moveable Type, an organization that seeks Open-Source fonts.
- Join the board of AIGA Arizona. I feel that joining the board will give me some awesome connections, and the ability to share creativity in a greater arena.
- Try to do at least 1 creative project for myself a week. I started this week with that “What The Fuck” poster I made earlier. I figure, I can do something like this every week.
- Screen Print. First thing, the “What The Fuck” design, because I think it would look totally rad.
- Customize more toys, including a big Munny. I’ve got three 4″ Munny’s done, and I think I can move onto a larger one.
- See what I can do with Augmented Reality. The concepts and what people do with it simply astound me.
And that’s it for now. I’m sure there’s more, but for now, that’s good.
Later.
