It’s going to be a busy weekend.  I’m working on the publicity for a film that starts shooting this week and I have to be on set both days this weekend.  Plus, our friends are throwing a friends-giving dinner this saturday night, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you see my posts for this weekend go up sunday night or monday morning.

Today was a crazy day.  There are multiple projects happening at the office that I am looking after as well as editing and there’s the prep for the shoots happening this weekend.  So I have been running around quite a bit.  My car was finally fixed today and I am happy to have it back.  It cost me an arm and a leg so it better last me another 100,000 miles.

I needed to go to bed as early as possible tonight because there is a pretty early call time for me tomorrow morning, so I decided to do a project that was tangible.  I didn’t know what exactly I was planning on doing but I got out my art supply box and pulled out some pencils.

I drew a random squiggly line on a sheet of paper and looked at it a while.

I decided to cut out all the negative space from my squiggly with an X-acto knife.  Once I was done cutting out the shapes I pulled out my watercolors.  I did a couple quick flat-washes of color on the previous page in my pad.  Finally, once the watercolor was dry I flipped my squiggly-line cutout over so it lied flat on top of my washes.  The result was the streaks of color from my watercolors filling the negative space of my squiggly line.

I thought it came out pretty cool.  I really enjoyed the process on this project.
