Finally!

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!

More News and Future Updates

Congratulations to everyone associated with the Letter to the World III Kickstarter! They made their funding goal and I'm looking forward to hearing some wonderful things from World Stage Design, which again, is being held in Wales this year. That, and the group of performers they have pulled together for this are all amazing people, and I know it will be fantastic.

On to more fantastic things, I'm in the process of uploading both new and old work; the old being some past photography projects, as well as a couple of continuations of old projects that I haven't touched in a while (some of them being a loooong while haha). The new stuff includes some digital print work I've been working on since the end of last year that I've really been enjoying. If you've followed my art tumblr at all (and even to some effect, my personal tumblr), it kind of leans towards incorporating music/mixtape art. I'll have a more cohesive explanation when I start sharing things (I hope), but again, it's one of the things I've gotten into in the last year that I've become really interested in.

Also, to update on Meme The World, I received my mug about two weeks ago, and am in the process of setting up the perfect shot for its maiden voyage. I'm excited for that, to say the least.

Meme the World... with Justin Crowe!

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?!?

Film Swap

Later this past summer, I was lucky enough to be a part of an online film swap (hosted by the photo blog Filmisgod). My partner was Emma Murrell; she shot through most of July and I shot through most of August and a little bit into September. The shots right now are all posted on my tumblr - be sure to check out the results!
