Daily Dose of My Art: Six-Part Continuous Panel Work in Progress

 So I was looking though my basement cabinet the other day and I found some old heavy duty card stock paper that had been cut into strips that were about 5" x15", and I decided to start drawing on them. Through the process of drawing I decided that I wanted to see if I could design a continuous modular panel of sorts (similar to a puzzle I had when i was younger that had no edges and you could arrange it however you liked because the finished right side would always be a match for the finished left side, and the same for the top and bottom). In this case I wanted to design panels that could stand alone if you wanted them to, or you could arrange them in order so that the last panel would always line up with first panel....or you could hang them completely mixed up and see if people realize that the drawings correspond to each other. Either way I'm excited about this project, and here are some pictures that show my work so far on it.

3/18/2011 6-part panel (of sorts) Work in Progress
panel 1,2, and the to be drawn upon remaining 4 "panels"
eventually the right side of the 6th panel will correspond to the left side of the 1st panel

 Panel 1 & Panel 2

Close up the Jellyfish in panel 1...He still needs some big refinements for instance he currently seems to be suffering from a slight case of polydactyly with his central tentacles , but this is just the initial drawing....

Derby - If Ever There's a Reason (music video)

So if you can't tell from this post and the previous one, I'm kinda obsessed with the music in the go, do , explore car commercials :)

Architectural inspiration from an apple peel

So this is my original architectural inspiration of the day: Imagine a long curling cascading apple peel, arrange, overlap, suspend the peel any which way you please, design a building/structure/or anything really based on that apple peel.
I fully plan on doing this when I have some free time after this semester is over, however my time is currently limited so I figured I would post it here so I will remember to do it! Feel free to use this concept to influence your own design project, and if you do, send the a picture of it to me, I would love to see how this inspires other people :)

Ray Lamontagne - Empty (song and lyrics)

I am so excited that I will be seeing him at bonnaroo this summer! (although technically I have seen him perform before when he was one of the openers for Guster back in 2006 at wolftrap, but I hadnt heard his musci at that point yet)
