Day 391 of 365 More.

So I had a second interview with company number one today. I guess it went ok. Supposedly they’ll be getting back to me by Monday. I need to call company number two tomorrow. So hopefully I can make a decision about things. I just hope I’m not getting ahead of myself. I’ll feel a lot more comfortable when I actually have offers in hand. Of course, then, if I get both of them, I’ll be stressing hardcore over which to take. Life is never simple.

In other news, I’m thinking of doing another art show. I was invited to do a 24 hour creative marathon. A bunch of artists lock themselves in a studio for 24 straight hours and create works in that time. Whatever they want. At the end of 24 hours, there’s a show open to the public. It’s kind of an exciting concept, and I’ve even done something like it before. I’ve done two different 24-hour comics (Looking for Venus and Dreaming on Paper). But these days, as an artist, I’m pretty much just a photographer. I don’t know what I can do that I can do in only 24 straight hours. Maybe I could try drawing or painting or something again, maybe I could find someway to put photography into it. It’s really hard to do a comic in 24 hours and I don’t know if that’s what I want to do. So if anyone has any great ideas of where I could go, I’d love to hear it.

As for this, I started wanting to try something different. I started thinking of it as a Matrix like effect. But then I kind of wanted to go my own way. This was what I came up with. For the non computer geeks, the little symbols you’re looking at are hexidecimal. Basically a text representation for the binary computer code of a file. In this case, they represent the bitmap that makes up the portrait you are looking at. So the picture contains the picture, if that makes any sense.

I dunno. I thought it was cool.
