			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://meganfrau.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image7b_web1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1037]"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1041" title="image reworked" src="http://meganfrau.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image7b_web1.jpg" alt="" width="551" height="313" /></a></p>
<p>I reworked the image more in photoshop. Since people liked the image, I worked out the issues that I wasn&#8217;t pleased with, namely the symmetry. I think the figure  is better with three arms. She&#8217;s still insect-like and the three arms reinforces more of the trinity aspect of the figure.</p>
<p>I might fuss with the right hand more after it&#8217;s printed on film, but it&#8217;s nearly there.</p>

<p>Print/Street art by  Swoon</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been sketching a lot to figure out a different way to draw my figures, mostly in pen to break my perfectionist needs. I&#8217;m too embarrass to show anything now, but here&#8217;s two artists I&#8217;ve been looking at for inspiration. Chloe Piene just had a lecture at my school, which I missed it because of work. Sad. I&#8217;m kind of surprised nobody&#8217;s mention her name in critiques for me to research. Her work would have been helpful for me. I&#8217;m going to go research her drawings more at the library. Hopefully this will set off inspiring drawing ideas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m just posting to mostly say I&#8217;m alive, but very busy. I have a mid program review next week and this whole last month was insanely busy. I suspect it will be the same next year with the Thesis/Show.</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s one of the prints I&#8217;ve been working one. It&#8217;s still not done, but you can see the progress here:</p>
<p><a title="stage1 by meganfrau, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meganfrau/3424239235/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3364/3424239235_9251834229.jpg" alt="stage1" width="404" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a title="stage2 by meganfrau, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meganfrau/3424239091/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3309/3424239091_466d4c64c4.jpg" alt="stage2" width="400" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a title="stage3 by meganfrau, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meganfrau/3425047296/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3649/3425047296_4c2c4f9368.jpg" alt="stage3" width="404" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a title="stage4 by meganfrau, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meganfrau/3425047108/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3558/3425047108_6874ac6aa5.jpg" alt="stage4" width="396" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Stage5 by meganfrau, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/meganfrau/3425047000/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3317/3425047000_3ff093999c.jpg" alt="Stage5" width="393" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve darken her surroundings, added more lines, and define more curls. It&#8217;s almost done. I&#8217;m going to attempt to make it have two colors with a color wipe technique that I never got around to trying. Fingers crossed.</p>
