personal art fav

Probably my most favorite art work was a series of prints I did winter quarter 2010 called Faults. the inspiration originally came from moss, progressed to moss in cracks, and simplified to just cracks (in asphalt/concrete, hence, faults). The piece also moved from color to just the grey scale. The pieces were achieved through monotype printing with various techniques, combined with printing on hand-made polymer rubylith plates. The prints turned out perfect, just a small central portion to the whole paper. Despite this assignment being our final project that would be featured in the print show, I didn't have the concrete idea until just two days before. An extremely proud moment of mine when I presented thise KICK ASS work in critique and above all before my teacher who had given me hella shit just 2 days before :P And everyone loved them and so did I which was awesome! I displayed them laying on a lightbox and they looked really neat - I was proud of my piece. Since fall 2010 quarter ended, I've had 3 people from my class come up to me randomly if we ran into each other inquiring about my prints, if they could have one, or if they could trade one of their prints for one. Unfortunately I had to tell them all that I gave them to my parents for xmas and that they were all the way in sacramento (but shit! if i didn't mind not keeping them, I'd sell them and make some scrilla!!) There are 12 prints in all, an awkward number in terms of display, that is depending on your wall space. But, my parents matted and framed the first 6 (waaay to expensive to do let alone all of them). Hopefully some day the rest will be framed as well, but the first 6 are supposed to be the best prints out of the series. I apologize for the poor photography, my mom just took them and emailed them to me so there are some glares and shadows, but you should get the gist.

This next one is the best print of the whole series, a.k.a. Faults 1/12

The next are not in any particular order because I cannot see the signatures below them and the photographs are poor and some may be repeats, I cannot tell in posting.
