Hi Mom

For the sheer fun of it:

And, the Back to the Future edition.

I'm not home, but my shoes are. Leave them a message.

This week in Computer Art, we were asked to create a logo from a pre-existing image and the vector tool. I selected this water colour painting I did last year:

I created this drawing of the shoe using the path and vector tools:

I thought this version was a little lackluster, so I incorporated the palette from the original painting, and "logo-ized" it. If I weren't already 6ft, I'd happily sport these pumps all over town.

Name it, rate it, tune it, print it...

Well! It turned out to be quite the day for me and my little sister. I attended the t-shirt silk screening workshop at the Print Studio on James Street North earlier today, and I couldn't have wished for better results. I was a novice when in came to silk screening, so I was rather nervous about my first go at it. Thankfully, the instructor was incredibly helpful, and the six hours flew buy. It's a time-consuming, rather laborious process, and there are quite a few little steps that you have to time just right, yet somehow I came out of there with five shirts and the confidence that I may actually have something to show in my senior exhibition. Now that I have the basics down, I have to set up a routine with the team over at the studio that will allow me some time between now and April 4 to print my tees under the supervision of their resident silk screen technician. I'll be sure to update this post with some pictures later on tomorrow. Six hours well spent.

UPDATE: Behold! Les t-shirts. I printed two designs on five shirts, here are the ones that worked out the best. Thanks to Laura for being my faithful silk-screening minion and lovely t-shirt model.
