String Art Sucks


I've been digging through old stuff I've made/painted/drawn/written lately while helping my parents get their house ready to sell and I've found a bunch of crap. It is always interesting finding things from younger years that make make me feel like a completely creative failure in my older years. This string art thing has been sitting in my living room for this past year when I yoinked it back from my parents house - it always reminds me of 8th grade.

I haven't found them yet but there are a bunch of paintings I made when I was 3 and 4 which should be entertaining at least, and I will post them up here when I do. I want to make a collection of peoples early childhood creativity - there is something in youthful art which seems more real in it's reflection of the world - or at least how we see conceive it. Blah blah. . .blah blah de blah blah. So if you have some send me a shout - I would like to collect enough to publish it as a series.

I thing geometric string art is pretty cool stuff. the one you're showing here looks great. you can check out that site linked above if you're interested in making some more. there's some fascinating about taking simple and repeating it so many times that it becomes complex.
