No pen just using the computer to sketch and colour – is that sketching?

No worries! It is all fine! Now trying to find that software again.

A snippet that I watched go from colour to B&W – autonomously – and I caught it.

Again exploring the medium. One sketch can have many iterations.

This is the first of several that I am putting up of dozens of explorations – many deleted of the media. I am exploring what it means to be digital in the art world. Is everything a fake? I use fake pencil and fake chalk and fake paint.
Yet the whole point about language is that we use something to reperesent something.
This must be something well covered in the exploration of art? Where? By whom?

Forever
In the chatting about this project as it was born it was suggested I sell the links for a year, and then get a renewal. Immediately I thought, no, Forever! And that is the tag line promoting the links.
Significance:
All that we write in cyberspace is there forever. This project in particular has a forever flavour – paradoxically – because it will end! And then sit there like a … er, monument to… who knows what.
The quest for permanence in the prints, I have sought out the best I can find and they should last 100 years. “Longer than they will last in digital form”, I was told by the salesperson at Photo & Video. “Not if it is in the cloud.” I replied.
And I can’t help hearing that word, forever, as spoken in the Miranda July movie “You and me and everyone we know”, where incidentally I think it also has a reference to that persistence quality in cyberspace.

Craft, wood cuts, Walter J. Phillips
Not my sketches
The Technique of the Color Wood-cut Walter J. Phillips – An amazing “How-To” – funily enough it seems that even though I “paint” and so on and use that crappy little pen on the M200, I feel close to this print tradition, with its attention to craft. There is a craft in using the PC too! This doc from 1926 is a gem.

Here is an example of his work:
Blind Stamps
It seems that some prints & photos have a blind stamp. I like that idea. How does one get one?
