JM






So for my art hype project I did four different things.

1.  My first approach was to create small unique artist trading cards/business cards. On one side one of my characters was posted on it on the other side there was my name along with a website where they could see my art. I did a xerox transfer of my character it was kind of light so on most I had to go over them with ink. I added a xerox transfer of my name which was spelled backwards to give it a design feel to it  To make them pop I added a splash of color with bright green and blue paint. I tried to make each one very original. I placed them all around the school taping them to the wall in hope people would take them and check out my website.
2. I also did a pop up gallery of some of my best work in one of the main hallways.
3. I created stickers with my name and website. I scanned some of my cards added my name and website to the front. printed them out on sticker printing paper, and cut them out. I distributed them to friends and throughout the school. Many of my friends kindly wore my art stickers throughout the school advertising for me.
4. I asked friends to post up some of my art on their websites to ask people to check it out.
5. I went to my local public library and placed some of my stickers in between the pages of some art books, comic books, and some of my favorite books as a sort of bookmarks. Hopefully some one will find it and check out my stuff.

I received many comments from friends and faculty. Someone from my bus who I don't know, actually came up to me and complimented me on my gallery display. People really seemed to like my stickers. They asked for more than one and for some reason they like the ones that seemed to be "throwing up", they are suppose to be drooling but hey... whatever I don't mind.
