Project 1 Update

It is about 10:45 Saturday night and I might have a logo (see above). I'll have to sleep on it, but it seems promising right now. Below is a bit of the progression of the project, from photo through a few iterations of the final (?) piece.

Project 1

(Perhaps a little meta, perhaps only needing to get this whole carousel in motion.)

1. Set up the blog for the project. Thus, before you appears More Pens Please. (Point in fact, we do not need any more pens currently. But, I do so love a good pen.) The background is a 3-D rendering of a photo I took at our poetry venue. I was super excited to find an article that showed me how to accomplish that feat.

2. Design the icon, symbol or emblem, perhaps the avatar of this endeavor. Not sure yet what this thing might be, resemble or smell like. Quite uncertain about its super powers. Will it be a force for good or evil. Will it wear corrective shoes. Will it even have free will and, if so, what does that mean. So many up-in-the-airs at this particular moment.

3. Post the results. Could be a half-finished avatar, could be a half-eaten sandwich. Point is, I must put up what I have at the deadline, then move on with the story. I'm going to do 52, Fifty-Two, LII, Ciquenta y Dos of these projects. Getting stuck, therefore, will not be tolerated.

52 Projects in 52 Weeks

Hello Hello Hello,

Welcome to the new home of my latest and just-off-center idea to date: 52 Projects in 52 Weeks. A new creative project each week for all of 2011. It can take any form: designing a new logo, creating a collage, writing a poem, taking some photographs, designing a chapbook, or one of a million other possibilities. All I must do is at the beginning of each week, set out the goal/project of the week, then get to it. Along the way, I might comment about the project's progress or lack thereof, a sudden and drastic alteration, dilemmas and/or triumphs.

By the way, welcome to the Elevens. 

Now, some of you are saying, "One project a week, only one? Just one? Geez, I do at least 52 projects per week without even breaking a sweat or a swear." Point taken. But, if you haven't noticed, it is now Tuesday as I write this. We're well into the week, approaching the hump and soon to be dashing for the weekend. Thus, 52 Projects for my undisciplined self? About right, I say.

So, welcome to my little endeavor. Should any of you have suggestions, feel free to offer them. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your stay.
