GFE part deux
As per Jane's request, I have tried to find a few more images from Guilt Free Enterprise to share. I am still looking for more photos of our posters graffitti-ed across lower Manhattan, but did find a few of the original posters that I can share in the meantime...

I love the posterized black and white images you created. And to think this is before Photoshop and it's posterize filter. A whole generation (or two) has no idea how much work went into graphics before everyone had a MAc on their desk. Thanks for digging up these images they are truly amazing. I would have them framed on my walls!
thanks so much! we did really work hard on those. If only I had been going with my gut and doing more of this sort of thing while I was still at Parsons - or at least submitting it w/o fear of reprisal...I've actually been thinking of scanning some of my old art school notebooks for inspiration. There's some pretty fun stuff in there. Not sure if it should be a set on flickr or a few more blog posts...
I often chastise myself for not going with my gut or pursuing my ideas/creative output far enough, only to see someone else do something very similar. It's hard not to let the less than receptive environment that greets creative ideas kill the initial enthusiasm. The Artist's Way has some great material about not letting your ideas get trampled on. Parsons was not the most open environment when we were there. It's hard in your teens to realize that people have there own agendas and that there is no "right way". It's something I continue to struggle with. Although now my biggest problem is time to be creative at all.
I think you should create a flickr set and write some posts that link to the flickr set.
Wow did you ever hit every nail on the head! Trying to find time to do any art is so hard. I wonder if as women, we are sometimes programmer to take what others say and evaluate - by the time we are done with that process our initial enthusiasm may have waned or been replaced by something else. I'll never forget how I felt in the last few days at Parsons and was with a group of teachers when the crits were over. My blinders fell off as they were all saying that only 10% of the graduating class would continue to make art. I finally realized that we were threatening to them, the next group of young pups. Cynical, hostile, the opposite of nurturing. I'm their age now. I don't feel threatened by youth, maybe I sigh at the realization of some frittered away time, but that's life. I'm definitely going to flickr/blog as you suggest - thanks!
