All 6 photoshoots went well, have been printed, delivered to the venue, The Hop Cat, located in Grand Rapids, MI.
Voter registration is all day today and the poles open to start voting at 6pm! To pre-register go to artprize.org. You will then need to go location specific to finalize your voters registraion. Apparently all week you can vote on whatever you like. Then the second week you get one vote.
Personally, I think you should vote for me!
Be well and happy art going,
Sarah
These photo shoots happen tonight and all i have to say is Cheeto’s and NERD alert! Woohoo!
About to start photo shoot #4 then I am off to meet with the printer. This photo shoot involves breaking stuff. Pretty excited! More to come…
Today I did photo shoot #3 and it involved body painting and latex paint which smells really bad. I also set up an appointment with my AWESOME printer specialist, Peggy Mazzucca, for tomorrow. We are going to determine what mediums I will print, mount, and frame with. It sure does help to have others involved in the project cause I just don’t know everything and there is no way I ever will! So if you are in need of any type of printing I suggest you contact Peg. She is one awesome lady.
Yesterday I confirmed that my super supportive cousin will be able to help with the installation/tear down of the project if needed and is rounding up the troops for some votes! GO STEPH!
Everyone keeps asking when they can see the photo’s, I have about three photo shoots to sift through, edit, and pick out my favorites. I plan on doing some editing tomorrow morning and will post pictures after the above said process is completed. Thank you everyone for behind so supportive, excited, and willing to be part of this project.
For those of you who have not heard what the project is based on: It is a in memory of a dear friend of mine, Jeremy Ervin, who passed away last fall. He helped save my life several times and encouraged me to get out of my way and let the artist I am share with the world the gifts I saw. During a dark time in my life I felt that I had something living inside me that I could not expose to the world for fear of what others would think, harm I might cause to myself or others, and because I knew that part of me was not who I really was at my core. So this project is based on ALTER EGO’S and THE SECRETS WE KEEP! Each of the models that that I am working with have done some soul searching to find a part of themselves that they are afraid of sharing with the world. I am providing a platform for that alter to be exposed and alive so that this doesn’t have to be alive inside the model anymore. A social experiment that looks good!
So stay posted, ask questions, get excited, and share!
Thank you,
sr
