So I was looking for something to do today and so I went through my photos directory. And I found this photo that I scanned in 2003 for my dad. He asked me to scan it and see if I could restore it for him. I scanned it and promptly forgot all about it.

If memory serves, this guy is a high school friend of my dad's who flipped his Camaro and died. Hits a bit close to home for me, eh? (I have a Camaro. It used to be in great shape and I used to drive it like an idiot 22 year old.) From what I remember, this is the only photo he has of the guy. It's 1.5x1.5", almost positively from 126 film (I know that my folks used to have a 126 Instamatic).

So I figured maybe it would be a nice gift--Christmas or just whatever--to actually restore it and get it out to my dad.

Ruby is in progress, slowly but surely.

An image of me welding on one of the many cross bracing supports.

oh, the potential...

this is a 4' x 5' piece. hopefully, i can finish it real soon because i have a big empty space in the gallery that needs some color.

I think I'm getting the hang of this

Dark and light pink corridale.

The river system has to be the start of this, since it determines everything else. I was thinking of bringing topography lines into it, but that makes it much more complicated and cluttered. It's easier to make up the flow of imaginary streams without having to worry about it making sense with imaginary hills and mountains.

These colors appear elsewhere in the house. Blue is also in the living room and yellow will be used in the kitchen.

This is a photo of the block from which this piece will be printed...that is, once I'm done all the cutting! The light colored areas get cut away, while the darker parts stay. The printing is done on paper, and, as you probably can imagine, the image will be reversed.

Started inking the parts I was comfortable with. Yay for those new copic multiliners. First pass at the inks means no line variation. I'll work on that after everything has been inked once.www.studioantithesis.com/tabloid

Getting everything happy around the windows is going to be a major chore. Luckily we've given up all hope of making it a perfect job. I love my nail gun too.

These were my grandmother's. None of them work (not that I wear watches anyway) so I'm going to dismantle them and make jewelry. Except possibly the big one - it's quite lovely as is, I'm not sure I want to take it apart.

New stencil.a little different than what I've done in the past. Well see how it comes together
