sporozoan embroidery, originally uploaded by printtroll.I have an old project revived. Send me a shirt, a pair of pants, socks, hat, panties, boxers whatever and i will embroider sporozoan on it. It might look like the one on my shirt or it might be bigger, hand sewn or machine sewn. You don’t get to chose. Just send me the article of clothing (email me at robroy(at)sikwenshel(dot)com for my address) and a return envelope with postage. Give me a couple weeks and I will send it back. After you receive it back you will need to take a pic of you in it and post it back here on this site. Some of you may remember me trying to do this some time ago. If I already owe you an article of clothing just send me your address and I will get it out to you. robroy(at)sikwenshel(dot)com
A former student recently emailed me to let me know that he was off to grad school and had spent the last year in a studio making work. He said he was surprised at how much work he could get done when given the time to focus on making art. He is completely right. Time to mull and contemplate your vision is far more important than any other commodity an artist can have. Without time we cannot plan out the ideas that might come to us in daylight or night time dreams or when watching the rain pour or whatever it is that gives the artist her inspiration. Inspiration is useless without being to follow up on it. And for those of us who are not fortunate enough to have time free we must make time lest all the inspiration will fade into drunken stupors.
