Sunday, March 22, 2015 at 3:16PM I was so happy at the end of last year to shoot some photographs for my friends over at Parsippany Physical Therapy. With their new website just going live, be sure to click on over to their gallery to check them out!
(And if you're looking for a physical therapist, you can't go wrong with Nick and the gang! Be sure to give them a call and tell them Rachel sent you!)
Sunday, July 20, 2014 at 5:41PM The title of this post is obviously inspired by Lana Del Ray's ubiquitious lead single off her newest album (which, although it was only released at the end of June, has become so overplayed as to make it the bane of my existance driving to work in the morning). It's been a musical sort of month for me, which has lead to some good art, as well as some interesting opportunities.
What's this? More updates to the Tiny Little Boxes series!I've got some fun new updates to the Tiny Little Boxes series, which has been a lot of fun for me. If you've been a regular follower of the R Rutledge Online tumblr, I started creating collage art for the different mixtapes I burned based off the playlist (check out the /mixtape archive for some of my earlier.. um, well, attempts haha); music still plays a huge part in my creative process, especially when it comes to this series.
I also updated my digital photography archives, and am currently sorting through my newest rolls of film for the next major update. I'm also really thrilled to announce after some time away, I've started getting back into the Book Project, with updates to that to be up before the end of the summer. Yesterday I posted about working with the Parsippany Historical and Preservation Society, which I'm really excited about. It's a great group based out of my hometown that I've always been happy to support, and I'm thrilled to be able to get them their start within the social media platform.
The last little bit? An updates to my links sections - there's some awesome new blogs up there you should check out, so definitely don't be shy :)
Enjoy the rest of this beautiful summer weekend... more things will be coming before you know it!
Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 10:21PM It's been a busy couple of weeks... (oh god, now I'm even writing my website updates like the blogs I write for work...) but no really, it has been. I'm starting to color test and reprint some of the prints I'm most interested in for the tiny little boxes series (speaking of which, check out the new ones I put up today, both on tumblr and on the website), as well as pairing them into groups and different layouts to figure out the flow of things.
Besides that, I've just got a huge hall of film in lately (including a roll I thought I had misplaced, but hadn't in actuality), so I should be uploading the newest ones, fingers crossed, by the end of this week. In the meantime, I've got some new stuff up in digital land, too, as well as some new great links and whatnot that I think you should pay attention to.
It's just been a good work week this week. I'm so happy it's spring!!!
Friday, January 3, 2014 at 1:00PM Thank god for snow - that's all I can say :D
First things first - rrutledgeonline.tumblr.com is going to be updating the rest of this weekend with some photos and mixtapes after I resuscitated it from the unintentional coma I put it in during 2013. My bad. At least if you had been following miss-printed.tumblr.com, you got the craziness of my everyday mind ;P
Also, I finally fell through the rabbit hole and created a twitter account - check out my about me page to check out the links for not only that, but my instagram and pinterest accounts too :D
Other new things - both the Film Photography and Digital Photography galleries (both of the various year galleries, if you want specifics) have been updated to reflect work from the last year or so. The Music Series gallery, which I've had work ready to upload for ages, but just haven't had the time to (story of my life), also got a bit of a facelift. And finally, like I mentioned yesterday, I updated my links section as well.
Now that all of the basics are done, we're onto the big updates!!!
Tiny Little Boxes | March 20, 2012, 3:09pm
If you've been following my updates around here at all, I've been talking about a print project I've been working on for just about forever (like here and here and most recently, here). Tiny Little Boxes is what comes from my original love of making art for my mixtapes, and combining it with the time based thought process behind The Book Project and The Calendar Project. I've seriously fallen in love with making these little snap shots of life, and I'm in the process of trying to figure out a way to display them in a way that makes the most sense. For right now, my first print trial has worked out pretty well and I've been giving away the first couple prints to friends and family. We'll see where it goes from there.
The other major update is my newest gallery, which will be displaying all of my blogging, marketing and promotional work that I've written or helped create. For me, everything comes back to a visual representation, and although the gallery is currently small (as in, only one thing so far), the twists and turns of my current employment ensure that, especially in 2014, it'll become a lot more interesting in the new year.
So, that's about it. I'm actually going to try and update this more than once or twice a year, and seeing as I'm currently three posts in to 2014, it's going well so far. Enjoy the winter storm, everyone!
Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 4:45PM One of the newest things I've taken on this year is becoming a blogger for my good friend Justin Crowe and his entrepreneurial new artist gallery/showcase website, Dizbe.com. He's recently started another project that I'm super excited about.
Meme The World is this really great conceptual art project, and although the Kickstarter video explains it so much better than I ever could, you should totally check it out - by pledging, you have an awesome opportunity to not only become a part of a worldwide phenomena (because seriously, who doesn't want to drink some tea/coffee/etc. in a mug with a cat on it these days?) but you also have a chance to get some really cool art from some really awesome artists (Justin Crowe, Scout Dunbar, Peter Pinkus, Rachel Jernigan, CJ Hungerman, and Emily and Laura Smith).
And again... it's a cat mug. Enough said. You have until April 5th, so go pledge their Kickstarter campaign! GO!!!
In the meantime, I've uploaded some new/old work to the various galleries, so go take a peek. More updates and hopefully my first Dizbe blog post coming soon... how is it March already?!?
