if you don't like getting messy, don't bother being an artist.

i love recreating words and imagery out of everyday objects that relate to the content.
so, in revisiting my 'quote book', i asked myself WHAT IF i pursue this visual style. instead of inking a selected word from each quote, i could recreate these words with objects found in my environment and inspired by my daily activities.

this is partly inspired by sagmeister's work:





my version:


(full quote: "give me six hours to chop down a tree, and i will spend the first four sharpening the axe." -abe lincoln)

yum.

p.s. i like this class blog thing.

great, I though of Sagmeister today when we were talking but didn't want to drive your creativity too much. I'm glad you came to it on your own. Nice work.
