04 MONOPRINT PROJECT
For this project, we had to identify another obsession we wanted to work with. The obsession I chose was "drugs". I used this term because it is so broad. The reason behind this obsession is due to the people around me, all too often do I encounter people who are abusing the privelage of prescripted medication or illegal substances. "Drugs" are a part of my life because I have seen the affects on relationships when they come into play, how they can ruin lives and always seem to come back like karma, and get you introuble. This is the major reason why I keep myself away from that lifestyle. Coming back to our assignment, monoprint was a process of creating a design, putting a transparancy over it, filling in the sections with oil paint and transferring them to another paper. It sounds easy, but I had a world of trouble with this project. I believe I might have done something I usually do, which is, be too ambitious in a short amount of time. I tried to channel Victor Moscoso in my design and color schemes but the effect that resulted was far from that. Everything finished in a messy, muddled mix of colors. This project was extremely frustrating for me and is something that I am not to proud of. I might consider going back and doing another design but at the moment,I have to figure out a better way to create the image I wanted.
