COGITO ERGO SUM

Ok, I'm back in the making-stuff mood today.

Just as I'm thinking of all the things that need finishing touches (clear coats, wall mounts, etc.), I get a new idea. I know I should finish everything else before I start something new, but I don't want to waste the mood. I'll save the boring stuff for when I'm not feeling too creative.

I took a phrase that I like, Cogito Ergo Sum, and made the letters out of clay. I'll paint them off-white as soon as they cool down from the oven. Then, I think I'm going to do some kind of space-inspired picture on wood as a background for gluing the phrase. Space is turning out to be a common theme for me. I'm pissed off that I'll never get to go there, so I just try to paint it.

Fresh out of my oven, Cogito Ergo Sum is Latin for Descartes' most famous quote, "Je pense, donc je suis." or "I think, therefore I am."


Off to look through the Hubble gallery...

... I decided on the Antennae Galaxies. The finished product doesn't really look like them, but they were a good source of color.


Now that the painting's done, I can't decide if I actually want to put the letters on it.
