Day One

I’ve decided to change the terms of this project...
To establish some sort of overall theme for this expedition; a sturdy frame with which to bring all of the different ideas together, I bought a dictionary. 

Each day, a random word will be chosen by flipping through the pages. Then, the artwork created will play off of the word chosen.

Today’s word is “parachute”


par-a-chute  n.

A folding umbrella shaped apparatus of light fabric used to make a safe landing after a free fall from an airplane.

After trying a watercolor painting (nicknamed “ick” and then thrown away)... I began a line drawing. I decided to draw some parachute pants. They’re just so...yeesh...I had to celebrate them.

  1. I like the format...it will be really challenging. All I can say about the pants is that "it's Hammertime!"
