Finally Pieced Together

So what I did for the "prototype" was use Crayola markers- a pack of 10- convenient no?
Then taped both the markers and the gloves to some wooden dowels.

After taping the gloves and the markers, decided to paint them black to blend with the gloves.

I ran out of spray paint-it was already empty-ish when I started- after doing only the top half of the dowels I had to go to Michael's and get more- I walked about 30minutes there and 30 back to get 2 cans.

The one with the bag was still kind of drying.

All dry and ready to be creepy.

Now just got to go into a public area- maybe school and downtown and citrus plaza?
May change markers to chalk or something. Oh and let other people wear them.

New Day New Idea

Well the guitar box was hard as hell- I think I shall save that for another, more free-time kinda day.

I'm running -jogging really- with a new idea.
Rebecca Horn has two extensions pieces that I keep coming across so I decided to toy with those ideas.


First was this Edward Scissorhands finger extensions type thing where she'd try to pick things up.



Second was this head-drawing-mechanism that she tried to draw with.

Well now my idea is to extend my fingers both my right and left hand with either string or a more sturdy material maybe like wooden dowels with sharpies at the end of them. And attempt to draw like that.

project: "PROP"

alright it is about 3:30 in the morning on Feb. 2nd.
A few things
1) Lost Final Season starts at 8 tonight- I have class from 6-9pm. Luckily the first hour is a re-cap- if I'm lucky I can catch it at 9.
2) After having an acoustic guitar since forever, and after getting a new one that I actually enjoy playing, I've been in the process of dismantling it. Strings. Paint. Bridge. All that jazz.

So I'm kinda stuck in ideas, I suppose I'm taking this one apart to see how everything fits together.
My idea, thanks to some people in class, is/ or was to make an "arm guitar", not sure how it's going to go for sure. But I almost want to change my idea or at least do something with this acoustic--maybe convert it to a bass? or at least take the frets off of it.

Maybe I'll get more ideas from much needed sleep haha.
