Well, I've got one drawing done. I chose a still life for this one, with an item representing each category. It took quite a while to get this situated- cutting out small sketches of each object yesterday and shifting them around on top of some blank paper until I was happy with the general arrangement, then there were proportion and scale issues, then there were things swapped out for other things, then I realized I'd have to get REALLY creative if I was going to fit everything in, so some things became two dimensional things in a two dimensional drawing of three dimensional things. I'll add the words in Photoshop once it's painted.
Tomorrow's drawing will be something my soul sister suggested, which was the classic macro shot of the Brooklyn Bridge. Well, she just suggested abstract architectural themes in general, but included a great photo. Although, come to think of it, maybe I don't want to be- wait, no, fuck it. It's a NYC based company, I'm NYC based, the bridge is an icon, and NYC fucking rules. Never mind, then. It's a go :-P The jury is still out on what the third image will be, but it's alright, I've got a little time. And inspiration strikes in the oddest places, as I discovered this morning...
So there I was, sitting on the loo this morning with the door open (one of the cats always opens it anyway, if I have the nerve to shut it!) and I'm sleepily staring at the kitchen counter whilst I do my business. As my eye drifts over the mug tree and the cutlery stand, KABLAMMO! I found the perfect inspiration for the company's logo. The mug tree's crossed metal branches made a neat W, and the arch and spine of the cutlery stand (with some artistic liberties taken) make a complimentary P to the aforementioned W.
I am still prepared for him to reject everything ever. But I don't imagine it'll hurt too much... I've got my fucking groove back, bitches!
