little tangents iv

Again, another tangents, so while pondering about the whole nature documentary thing, it made me think of those DK encyclopedias for kids. I grew up on those, so it's sorta' natural that I immediately thought about DK when thinking of printed format and, well, animals.

So this is a small sample of what I'm talking about.

I'm thinking of maybe making an encyclopedia based on, say, internet memes, a comprehensive look at my dog, people I know (?), etc. Not necessarily the way it's put together, but the way information is collected and written.

Another thing I thought about while taking photos of my dog (and basically just follow her around) are those nature documentaries about animals and all that.

I suppose it's all thanks to Planet Earth (goddammit David Attenborough) and this BBC boxset containing Yellowstone and Wild China. Holy crap, you guys have to watch it. Especially on Bluray. 

 Documentaries at the very finest.

So while looking through stuffonmycat.com, I thought about the internet.

'kay, that's real vague. I was thinking of lolcats, which in turn made me think of popular animals on the internet, which in turn made me think of memes like Courage Wolf, Advice Dog, Foul Bachelor Frog, Socially Awkward Penguin, etc. 

 

So I thought, maybe I should take a piss on these internet memes with my dog? Just an idea.

So while stalking my dog for the entire night, long story short, she didn't do much. So I did a couple of things to try and fish out a reaction or two from her (if you notice I did things like prod her with my foot, enticed her with food, etc), including stacking a bunch of stuff on her.

This was inspired by a recent visit to a website called stuffonmycat.com. So I decided, hm, wonder what it'll be like if I try it on my dog.

mini update

Oh by the way, totally scrapped the pigeon stalking/pen doodling response and just went with taking a photo of the same object a hundred times.

So I decided to bother my dog for an entire night.

Here's a contact sheet. 

p.s.: I admit, I had fun stacking a bunch of crap on her.

Tutor got sick (hope you feel better soon by the way).

So I thought, "A'ight. I'll just head off and do some other work."

Friend texts back saying that design students were supposed to pop back into studio at 2pm today. I look at my watch and it's already 4something pm. Great

Why so organized, schedule?

edit: whoops nevermind. friend misread the notice. it was a 20-something class. bloody second years.

yet another obligratory intro post

Yep, I'll be using this blogspot account to update on all of my thoughts and ideas regarding 304.

Nothing really happened much, we were split up into tiny groups on Tuesday and we made a book made up of smaller books... and a book cube... thing.

Tutor gave us a list of things to respond to, I was gonna' stalk a pigeon. Just because. But I decided that doodling until my pen ink runs out sounds a lot more like me. Will update this blog with what I'm up to a little later.
