I love the combination of analog and digital - I can scan these to any resolution and edit them at will, and at the same time the film adds personality you can’t get from digital.</p>http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1225666025http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1225666025Fri, 01 Oct 2010 23:32:00 -0400HolgaLomographyPhotography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9km62BFIe1qe07fko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m trying out a new way of working with collage - using the actual paper instead of going straight to gesso transfers. So this is all paper - some vintage, some not, and the large image of the woman will be transferred directly into gesso, We’ll see how it turns out in about a month when the gesso dries. Then I’ll cover the whole thing with paint.</p>http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1216410289http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1216410289Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:34:00 -0400Work in ProgressCollagePaintings<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9jndiIGkR1qe07fko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This cabinet with baby changing top was on the curb with a free sign. I figured it might make a nice art cart, so I had a piece of glass cut (for a small palette surface) and put roller wheels on the bottom. It holds most of the crap I need at hand.</p> <p>When you have to work in the garage of a rental house for an indeterminate time, you might as well improvise.</p>http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1214112076http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1214112076Thu, 30 Sep 2010 01:03:00 -0400Misc.<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9d4fd8XOR1qe07fko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Finished commission - over six feet long!</p>http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1192228720http://metaharry.tumblr.com/post/1192228720Sun, 26 Sep 2010 12:28:00 -0400PaintingsNudesFinished Work
