Day 038 / Graph Paper Landscape

I had this idea a couple days ago and it really sparked an excitement in me.   I thought of graph paper and how it would make a really neat and interesting medium for some kind of art project (collage specifically came to mind).  I researched the types of graph paper and found out that there was a huge assortment of many many kinds of graph paper.  Each sheet having a different pattern and size and shape.

 

Tonight I decided to cut together a little nature scene complete with mountains, trees and animal life.   I think certain aspects of it came out pretty good like the mountains but other things like the deer and trees tended to blend into the background a little too much.  But I also think that I’m just learning how to do this stuff at this point.   I really feel like I may be only scratching the surface of what might be possible using graph paper as a medium for collage.  Anyway, this week could end up being themed graph paper week.  We’ll see how it goes.

    Just browsing through your archives (instead of folding the laundry like I should, thanks for the distraction), and just wanted to say: this totally deserves a comment. So, here’s your comment. It’s rad. I dig. I want a giant one on my wall.

    Thanks man. When I look at it I think I should’ve made the deers and trees pure white or black.

    Ahh, “should” or “shouldn’t…” ? I don’t know. I like it the way it is. They blend in just enough. Kind of like an old magic eye poster. Kind of.
