GPP Crusade - I finally completed one after long gap!!


I seem to have unintetnionally taken a bit of a blog break. Work was just too demanding on my poor little brain cells, and on the fading strength of my right arm. Both needed resting, so I had to cut back on the surfing and the arting. Plus, I'm still looking for the ejector seat button for the teenage girl on the big pc, which houses all my images.

I enjoyed the april GPP challenge, which was to add text, and I was trying to make it an integral part of the piece. In the first one I was inspired by an add which had a model's face as the canvas for graffitti.

This second journal page was inspired by a Suzi Blu video in which she was painting something inspired in turn by a book, which I think was In the Night Garden and had to do with a person who had an entire book written under their eyes. This technique allows you to write over lines of text and make shapes, thus obliterating the distinct text from being read. Pretty sure I didn't write anything profund or revelatory under my eyes!
