I am working on creating a book! It is an exciting project. I am excited about it more art to come but to say the least it is HUGE! Little Synopsis-
This fall a box was delivered to me, at the High School Art Room I teach in, it contained over 1000 beautiful hand developed photos from all over the world. I have no idea where it came from or why it was given to me, but I know I have to do something with it. It is a true mystery.
I have started a book of Short Stories inspired by the photographs. In the story a bored art teacher, uninspired by the world around her and defiantly stuck in a rut discovers a "magic" box that transports her to different parts of her life. Each time she sees a photo she is inspired to paint and write. The story.... Working title Me and Jean, will be fully illustrated. I am inspired by the work of Nick Bantock and Karen O'Brien. The illustrated mixed media style I think will add direct emphasis to the story! I will start posting the art as it progresses but here is a little taste of one of the 1000's of images I have been inspired by to write the book.
Follow me as my artistic journey progresses! I am excited and have already written the first 20 pages, and decided on the 14 short stories. It is going to be an amazing project!
Thank You mystery person who gave me this box I promise I will do my best by it!
