My criteria for this group of images were everything had to: (i) be printed landscape orientation, 13 x 19 inches, and (ii) have appeared on this blog since the printing of the last group of pictures done in this fashion. All are 100% rag paper, archival ink, blah blah. The grouping is at once an installation, twelve separate drawings (a term I'm stretching to include photography), a physical record of images disseminated online, and a reification of a particular slice of this blog. Some of the content I invented out of whole cloth; some are my interpretations of others' images. Except for changes in scale to fit the paper size, nothing was altered from the way it appeared online. These would be framed for a real-space presentation. Sorry if this sounds stuffy, just trying to nail down my concept.
These look great. How did you do the scaling? Did you keep the pixels chunky?
Thanks. Yes--the pixel edges are sharp. In the printer dialogue you have to uncheck the default, which is "edge smoothing." I wasted some paper figuring that out.
still waiting for more north american mammal still lifes. manatees, hopefully.
I like the way that wall graf piece appears to have come out nicely after all. Let me know if you show the lot somewhere. I would like to see them 'in the flesh'.
These are really nice!
looks good.
badass
Thanks! Until I produced these I had the feeling that I "only worked on my blog"--this is kind of a double dip.
p.d.--no manatees but raccoons, etc are on the way (eventually).
