Experimentation is so important

Check the last post. Look at that piece. It's total experiment. I knew I wanted to do something with my sketches, something different. So I enlarged them and started cutting up old cards out and filling in the areas. I had no idea what I was doing, I was just having fun. Then I'm working on a logo design for a Music School in Dallas, Texas and I'm staring at this shape I've made for them. They like it. So what do I do with it? Start filling it with cut paper style shapes. And look what I've ended up with. It's awesome! I love it! It's totally new for me, something I would never have done just staring at a computer screen or pouring over books.
