    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 13

    November 14, 2013 /

    Yesterday’s prompt was “Why I Am” by Dave Matthews Band.

    I’ve been sick the past few days and yesterday I was unable to work on the prompt.  Today I felt a little better and decided to try and work on yesterday’s and today’s prompts.  I didn’t get this song.  I couldn’t even get something from the words to journal about.

    Created using acrylic paints and acrylic paint markers on mixed media paper.

     

    Created this originally for the prompt but then decided not to use it. Whil I was working on it I accidently dropped it and some of it smeared. It also messed up the previous days page.

    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 12

    November 12, 2013 /

    Today’s prompt is “15 Step” by Radiohead.

    Not feeling well today but I didn’t want to get behind on the challenges.  I didn’t get this song.  I don’t know if its because I’m sick or it just really didn’t make any sense to me.  So my page takes some elements from the song.  I basically did it as some sort of weird dream.

    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 11

    November 11, 2013 /

    Today’s prompt is “Be OK” by Ingrid Michaelson.

    Today I did 2 pages.  I had two very clear ideas as soon as I heard the song.  The first was about depression and how it feels and the other was based on the lyrics; specifically the part “Gallery of Broken Hearts”.  Somethings didn’t work the way I would have liked but over all I like the pages.

    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 10

    November 10, 2013 /

    Today’s prompt is “We’re Going to be Friends” by Jack Johnson.

    Well my page kinda took a creepy turn.   It looks like I massacred my paper doll friends.  I so didn’t think ahead when I used the Dylusion Spray Ink – Postbox Red.  Well I guess they really are friends forever.

    NaNoJouMo & Art Every Day Month Day 9

    November 10, 2013 /

    Today’s prompt is “Yellow” by Coldplay.

    After hearing this song twice the only thing I could think of was that yellow is a bright and happy color.  So I decided to make the page about being happy.  I first created a background with india inks and spray inks.  I liked it but didn’t know where to go from there.  You can see that page below the one I completed.  I then worked on another page.  The shape that you see was created by using the plastic that connects three bottles of ketchup together as a stencil.  I used it on the page I didn’t complete as well.

    The first background I created.

     

    Below is my entry for Art Every Day Month.

    I’m not sure what happened here.  I had used 3 different distress inks to create a really neat background but once I was done and some time passed the color had changed completely to what you see now.
