Dr. Victoria Grinberg

A good reminder that the most important thing in doing art is to start.

Thw first card was a battle of will against myself, the second (this one) I easily fit into the two hours back in the hotel between visiting the radio astronomy institute and dinner.

Time to make more reference photos.

@vicgrinberg sieht toll aus! Welche Materialien nimmst du so auf Reisen mit?
Show threadDr. Victoria GrinbergDec 9
@PetraSchwer ich habe mir einen kleineren Aquarellkasten zugelegt (den hier, extra für diese Reise https://mastodon.social/@vicgrinberg/115627790022248190), ansonten schwarze Marker, knetbares Radiergummi und eine Metallbox mit Postkartenblättern (ich bin großer Fan von diesen hier wg Preis-Leistung https://www.smltart.com/art/). Mir hilft es tatsächlich, begrenzte Materialien zu haben, sonst neige ich zum Sammeln und Entscheidungsparalyse 😅

I was briefly conflicted as to why you didn't choose a more iconic landmark to represent La Plata, but then it dawned on me that...

1) You aren't selling this, you did it for yourself.
2) Art is subjective.
3) That's probably iconic to YOU, or at least, to this particular trip.
4) Algorithmic Social Media has conditioned us to expect the rest of the world to perform for us, instead of simply being a way of peering into another human's soul, as it once was.
5) It's still cool as f

@excess also I have in 99% of cases very little interest in the iconic 😅 I'd much later go for something that is either typical or has some visual interest and preferably both ...

@vicgrinberg Nice! What kind of paper is that?
Show threadDr. Victoria GrinbergDec 13
@SteveDuncan it's the small haiku cards (100% cotton) from these folks https://www.smltart.com/art/ - I've been super surprised by the quality, they are my go to for travel postcards. Great to use and hold their shape super well.
