Blogs & Such

My latest blog / project is somewhat experimental. I've been creating a 600px by 600px piece of artwork every day. This first month I'm only allowing myself to us simple shapes (Line, Circle, Triangle, Square, etc...) and color. Without being able us any textures, effects, or gradients I'm looking to create artistically interesting arrangements, patterns and imagery. Visit the project at www.iamthequickbrownfox.tumblr.com
