La fin de l’année 2009.

This December has five weeks in it, yet I prefer to write my yearly exit post at the end of the second week. It has been quite a productive year and I plan on mentioning only a few of my accomplishments. The primary subject being that of art creation and a clear direction.

In consideration to web development, you may have noticed the redesign on the homepage to this site a few times over the course of the year. One reason being it is a testing ground for other projects, the most recent change being the most successful (completed today 12/11/09). It ties into the inner bowels of the site and offers easier navigation for the most lazy of viewers.

A new site has been launched which is a collaborative project with Tobey Albright and myself. You can view this site by clicking on the amazing drawing that Tobey illustrated for the site.

S/aRt/Q had its Inaugural Exhibition the beginning of November with great success. With the complete website launch, and all media designs visualized and implemented, the Collective is pushing strong for multiple events in 2010, and we are preparing for the next exhibit to take place some time in March. More on that will be posted soon. If you haven’t, check out the site at http://sartq.com.

The 3D poster that I created for the Inaugural Exhibition gave me much esteem for future projects that deal with electrical work, drawing in graphite, and I have recently been spending most of my creative time with water colors.

Light has become my primary focus. Without light we would only see what we perceive to be there. Fourteen reflections of reality, illuminated.

Therefore, my next project is planned to be some light fixture contraption in which I have many ideas and this is in no way the place I shall reveal those. However, in future posts I will expose my process. The Collective has been a lot of things. It is a surreal source of inspiration, motivation and most importantly, an opportunity to meet, work with and create amazing friendships. Out of all the good and stressful situations and opportunities it is the friendships that I’ve created that I am most grateful for already.
