Hey guys, So Small City is an art print I made a while ago. I made it about 8 months after I moved to New York City, and actually, screen printed it in my kitchen. It was a reflection on my time here. I arrived in the city, like many who come from a smaller city, with a fair amount of intimidation about what the city had in store for me. After a while, the excitement... fear... curiosity... all that begins to wear off, and life becomes a bit more normal again. You develop routines, familiarity, regular hangouts, etc. And the realization of all that, for me at least, was odd. It was something I was happy about, to have overcome my initial fear, but I was also a bit down about it because that exciting first kiss with the city was over. Anyway, so thats the story behind this print. I suspect other people may be able to relate, and not necessarily with New York City specifically, but a move or change in any way... Now I'm thinking the idea of all this is capable of more, a short story? that becomes a short film? or a song? that becomes a music video? or an animation? I dunno. So attached are all the parts and illustrations of my original print for you guys to experiment with. Let's see what we can do... Oh, and my handle is thatsthewayitgoes, but you guys can call me Derek. Cheers, Derek |
