Fake, Fake, Fake—Layers of Fake: A Flip Through of Roz's 2010 Fake Journal
Above is a short video flip through of my 2010 fake journal. Sadly the quality of the videos my tiny camera makes isn't such that you can read the post-it note on the cover or the handwritten note inside the cover—but those are all part of the fake journal. They were written by ANOTHER fake character, not the one keeping the journal. They'll appear in scanned form at the end of my individual posts of the pages.
For now you can see the wonderful distorted shape the APICA notebook took on during the month of April. And you can see all the pages from April 1 through April 30 in a quick flip through that will give you an overview of the project.
If the embedded video doesn't work please view the video of Roz's 2010 fake journal here.
Of course I love it Roz. What I really like is that you seem to take the time to compose the entire page. I always draw people, so this journal really spoke to me. Did you miss using color?
ReplyDeleteDonna, thanks. The thing that really interested the author of the fake journal was negative space and she played around with it in the confines with which she worked. Every day started with the drawing of the vertical lines which ultimately had nothing to do with anything within the face but then became a way to deal with the black areas of the page. The drawing always started with the eyes and grew out from there.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really miss color. Though I think my fake journal author did.
I missed my Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. But then I got to play with the pencil so that was pretty much a scratch.
More on all of this in a post in the next few days.
I love seeing the journal as a whole! Seeing the pages one after another has a cumulative effect that is quite different from the feeling I've been getting from each page individually. Can't wait to hear more about the author!
ReplyDeleteMelinda, it is fun to hold the completed journal, it bends so drastically! Some pages are difficult to turn because of the way the colored paper was glued in and the way it became increasingly difficult to do so as the book bowed!
ReplyDeleteMore on the author to come soon.
