Just to point out that I am active. I've been taking photographs galore and sketching to keep my muse active, but I can't upload anything until I get home (forgetting cords is not fun). Anyway; updates!
Museum tally:
Victoria and Albert (London): check
While I was at the V&A, I came across something very cool: micromosaics. As the name implies, they're mosaics made with teeny-tiny pieces. They looked almost like the brushstrokes of paintings! I'll do an actual post about them later, with photos and artists, but their intricacy and the persistance required to complete them was astounding. One artist is rumored to have spent ~20 /years/ on /one/ micromosaic! Obviously I hope it won't take me 20 years to complete this project, but I hope I can put as much of myself into my work as those artists did.
Planned museums:
Something in Berlin
Louvre
Musee d'Orsay
Versailles
Tate British or Tate Modern
That's all for now! G'night all!
