Eric's entry in Petr's UNDER THE SKIN

things u can touch n feel...

OK, so I could try to write that the reason I kept this book for so long is cuz I just wanted to pet it, BUT, the real reason is that I was desperately over-booked in the spring and didn't manage to get it done before I took of for summer adventures. My apologies mostly go to Mary, who will receive 2 books in quick succession. 

Otherwise, it was a super rad book!!!

I even knew what I wanted to contribute into its pages since I saw it. Under the skin...... so that's why I kept this crappy deflated basketball around, so I could use it in this book! FYI, the red paint is supposed to symbolize fake blood.

Holler, hope y'all are well, more soon, 
Eric

Bright Spark - Angela's entry

Woohoo for glitter, coffee and tea. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Summer! 

Jemina's entry into Rikas book

This picture does not do it's justice, but you will see it soon enough!

I struggled with an entry for this one but eventually it came and I enjoyed tooling around with a new technique!

Lisa's entry - Jemina's book

Jeane's entry in Angela's "Failure" book

I used bits of found experiments on paper and a failed graduation card to base my entry on.  And then tried to be as careless and experimental as possible.  It is hard to break out of ones own habits.  Lots of fun any how!

Angela entry into Eric's "Death"

First of all I have to say that I kept showing everybody this book because it was made so brilliantly. It's a really cool idea to fold up a book that way, Eric! 

As for my entry: 

My first idea was to have these little entities escaping, or transitioning, so that's what the ink drawings on the brown paper represent. Then when I glued the brown paper down and stood back, I realized that it looked like I had given the skull hair! Eeps! :/ 

It lookedike he had a bald head with two patches of hair on either side (in the states we call this hair style a hula skirt). Not really The look that I thought Eric would want for his skull... So I added some reddish brown tones to the top to pull it all together, or sort of create framing for the head. 

Angela's Book / Petr's Entry

I tinkered a lot with how to step into Angela's book and in the end I decided to draw a series of self portraits while setting myself for failure.

My first portrait I drew in Angela's sketchbook attached to a ceiling with my brush, pencil and pen attached to 1 & half meter long stick.

 My second portrait I drew left handedly. 

My third portrait I drew without seeing the sketchbook or the drawing in progress.

Here's the results.
