This is a drawing of the cover art of Jack Johnson's album, In Between Dreams, from which Staple It Together comes. It represents the album covers which pop up when songs play on later generations of iPods.
(The iPod in this sketchbook is actually a mixture of an iPod Classic Forth Generation, mixed with iPod Nano Second Generation and iPod Nano Forth Generation. It was a compromise of colour and font and memory space and size. And also shows my development of music through iPods as the iPods themselves developed. Just a quick footnote.)
The bottom border is a drawing of backwards staples and the real things are used on the left. And the yellow paper is from a Kodak photo envelope. Thanks Kodak, Jack Johnson should have shares in your paper!
The actual piece is inspired by Jeff Nishinaka's paper work animals which I found on a blog I was browsing. I was mind blown. I wanted to be him. I wanted to be that good. (http://www.jeffnishinaka.com/)
I decided to try...but I had no glue. And I had no pencils...so no designing, scissors to paper, I cut and cut and masking taped and stapled. And I made something that, I'll admit, was not what I expected, but altogether something cool. I scouted the house for a pencil and eventually found the glue.. And that is how my interpretation came about!
