by gl. at 5:59 pm
dayna posted her studio essentials & influences based on the book "alphabetica," which sven serendipitously gave me for xmas this year. it's a good meme, i think (plus, when am i -ever- going to be listed as an influence on the same list as the beatles again? :D). so to carry it forward...
studio essentials:
1. stars
2. letters
3. the flat files sven built
4. scissors, exacto knives & glue sticks
5. a TON of paper
6. bits & scraps, some of which i've been hoarding since the 9th grade
7. music
9. the electric tea kettle
8. printer & photocopier
10. teh internet
influences:
1. sven & toby
2. astronomy & science
6. the artist's way & pamela underwood
3. edward gorey
4. calligraphers, especially denis brown
5. andy goldsworthy
7. portland
8. shu-ju wang
9. burning man
10. teh internet
i'd love to read your essentials & influences, too! i'm not "tagging" you per se, but feel free to answer these on your own blogs or in the comments. :)

Oh my goodness! There I was reading along, and there I was! Listed as an influence. Wow! It's a very nice surprise. (I was going to use another '!', but I think I might be over doing that! Oops.)
And I came before Burning Man and Internet, and Beetles was no where to be seen. Another !
I'll give my lists a think.

Hmm, I like this game.
Studio Essentials:
(Studio also contains little triptich of Shu-ju Wang prints, as long as we're dishing some love to the Fingers.)

augh! how could i forget "mountain dew" as a studio essential?! similarly, the paper cutter is pretty darn essential, too.

Gretchin, what fun to read your essentials and influences. And I got to learn about how your flat files came to be, and Pamela Underwood, and all kinds of cool things about YOU! This is a fun game and I'm glad you carried it forward. Dayna
