What's the Buzz?

-spray paint and black fine point sharpie-
The beginning of this had been done as an experimental project with various colored paints in spray bottles. I had laces, shapes, wires, etc. to lay against the paper and spray to create various images or textures. I specifically used this one material which was a metal roll of patterned holes as my stencil for the majority of the image. I could cut a piece of the roll as large or as little as I desired. I experimented with the placement of the stencil and came up with an interesting composition. The colors began to layer, but eventually layered too much thus leading me to the idea of turning the colored puddles into drizzling drips.

After I was done experimenting I wanted to expand further with the image. Actually, this had not been my first spray painted image. It's about my third or fourth. After I created a few, I looked at each one and evaluated which one would be fit to serve as a decent background. I chose the one above because of the patterned holes that reminded me of honeycombs. I started with the honeycomb idea and further developed it until it became the product above! I definitely learned a lot about flexibility and that not all the best products come from perfect planning, but stepping out of your comfort zone and allowing creativity to flow; a simple but commonly overlooked statement.
