getting board

early or late yesterday (now), i went to go sketch out a rough on a board only to realize that i needed to prime it first.  so i have to find the dang primer.  i can't afford to get any right now so if i cannot locate some gesso or such then i'm going to have to switch out the board with one of the other paintings i have in front of me.

additionally, one of the paintings i have planned (and have a signed off design for by the client) is not the right size. or i mean, not the right size canvas.  i had switched out the canvas awhile back thinking it to be the better dimension, but no.  so i have to start over on that one.

i have to figure out what to do for the third piece.  i have "free range" on that one, and while i had some ideas, i have had too many since and so i have no idea now what to do with that one.

one of the areas i'm working to expand on is in the illustration or tangible capture of my ways of capturing the bituminal street.  "bitumen" is may way of relating to my loves of walking or existing at "street level."  it's not isolated to just cities or their streets, but the venue tends to be just that.

"incidents" tend to be a kind of multi-medium, light involved, movement oriented, altering objects that mostly have taken a kind of pillar-mass form.  until i can get the illustrations or sketches for these incident pillars, i will do my best to document their explanation and description here.

i have started a log of all my jargon, titles, names, curious or reoccurring words, ideas, etc. into an email.  the email is unadressed.  i have come to do this often and i keep a store of these permanently "unsent" emails. i have to setup some word files, format them, and start moving alot of that email information there. the emails i keep are easily accessed and easy to make updates too.  my idea at the moment is to continue to use the email-format to "sketch" into and then transfer that to my word files.

this log is growing quickly and exponentially.  i am keeping it alphabetical but it is diverse, containing ideas specific to "knot" as well as personal culture, favourite words, mnemonic art idea titles, etc.

i am poor at organizing but the word files will help.  of course, i'll utilize outline features.  i am proficient in microsoft word and photoshop and i have both available to me.  i have some of the latest versions too, additionally i have access to a very recent version of indesign.  though full of potential i have no direct need or content to utilize the program.

i am also wondering if i can find some people willing to model for my "toos" poster/painting(which is an idea separate from the three main paintings i have to finish).
