My Manifesto

Uppercase had a call for entries on the theme of "Manifesto". I thought I'd give it a try. I tried to pull together some of my favorite, most inspiring thoughts...crammed them into a watercolor pattern and here's what I came up with. I put it up in my Society 6 shop too, incase anyone wants to purchase a print. http://society6.com/mariacarluccio/marias-manifesto_Print#1=45

Oil painting

Here's a painting done for Martin Whitfooth's class. He's an awesome teacher...loved working with him, what a treat. I thought I'd show the process of the painting. From sketches to finish.
I have been fascinated with the idea of books as living things. Ideas seems to feed other ideas and words connect to other words. I'm going to try and do a poster with this at some point. My love of books seems to overflow into so many things these days.
