dendrochronology, tree rings, and art

i truly cannot comprehend how an acorn can become a tree.  but more on my acorn obsession later.

because right now i’m completely captivated by tree rings.

dendrochronology

dendrochronology

dendrochronology or tree-ring dating is the method of scientific dating based on the analysis of tree-ring growth patterns.

Chris Harrison made “digg rings” by visually representing the “most dugg” stories of the day for one year.  i don’t really get it either but you can read about it here.  but  i dig the graphics he made:

psychedelic retro vintage rock posters

i will always love retro psychedelic rock and movie posters.

but Tadanori Yokoo took it to a whole nutha level:

Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert poster, 1972

Movie poster: "The Trip" with Peter Fonda

Movie poster: "The Trip" with Peter Fonda, 1968

i mean, how crazy are these?  i love the how the registration is deliberately off, like in those turn-of-the-century offset screen prints or the WPA propaganda posters from the 30’s and 40’s.

"The Trip"

"The Trip", 1968

[and is it just me or does the woman in this poster totally look like Marie-Louise Parker?]

"Cochin Moon", 1978

"Cochin Moon", 1978

pretty sure they were done without Adobe Illustrator.  this gives me hope.

hearts on fire

here’s a Levi’s denim jacket i never wear.  so i decided to sew on a human heart — not a real one, silly! — made from leather, satin and velvet.  turns out i still won’t wear it, maybe i could sell it?   i’d like to add some beading, nudie suit-style.

another reason i should get my etsy store up and running…

spirograph and shrinky-dink art

remember these?  i loved mine so much as a kid…though i also cursed its name as the circles skipped around or pens ran out, ruining the perfect designs…cursed precision!

well i got another one and tried it again after all these years.

then i got to wondering what else i could spiro on and used some shrinky-dink plastic…

sheet music art

got a bunch of old sheet music and liked the vintage looking fonts and stuff…so I spray-tacked them to some scrap pieces of foam core and thumbtacked them on the walls of our music room:

after the rain

oh, it’s been a really rainy spring here in vermont…the sun shot through the trees in my front yard right at the end of the day, when the light is all slanted, which makes everything look magical, which is why they use it in car commercials…anyway i ran out and took these:
