i think you should make puzzles at that detail of between 500 and 1000 pieces, hugh. people could put them together at parties and then hang them on the wall. that would be badass. i’ll figure out how to make one and send you pics.

Stretch out of your comfort zone and dip your toes into the dark space of unknown. Your brillance illuminates.

Sad to see you Twittering again. With all this great work you do, that is such a waste of your time. Micro Blogging is for the bored, lonely, and weak. Sever the micro link, hook up with one of the babes in Austin/Alpine, and go creative with your mind and body…
Set yourself free Dude.
Best Wishes,
Dave

you can do smaller medium items that are the same size as those motivational photographs, but with your drawings. perfect for the home office. then we can afford them.

Hey but you know, one must move on in life — do bigger, newer things, that excite, that scare you!
I’m all for you taking this new plunge!! Go capture the art world like you have the blog world!

Really interesting idea Hugh. Hey, this is social media, maybe you should ask people to participate in its creation and let everyone add a doodle here and there?

That sounds awesome! I love hearing about the thought process that goes into artistic creations — thanks for sharing!
Sure have missed you, been so darned busy. Best wishes for a wonderful day!

Texas, Inspires you to think big !?

Hmmm…that brings up an interesting question. Re: your licensing terms, etc., is it kosher for us readers to, for example, blow up Untitled 450, print it out onto canvas and hang it on the wall?
I’m never sure just where the line is on No Derivatives (does it mean I can’t make a digital cartoon into something meatspacy, or does it just mean I can’t color it in with fairy sparkles when I do so?).

This isn’t the first time you’ve considered this aloud to the blogosphere. What’s different this time, besides being in west Texas? I suggest getting out of there. The end of that road is a wardrobe comprised entirely of tie-die and a website background pattern to match.

Of course you continue to rock Hugh! We actually did a three part series on re-inventing yourself - http://thresholdblogazine.com/journal-old/2008/3/3/new-adventures-for-the-old-you.html - and dude you ARE the epitome of this, AND you do it so seamlessly! Congrats on your new direction (along with all of your other projects as well). I continue to look forward to seeing how your work evolves.

The rolled canvas is how I buy art
while traveling overseas.
I prefer to take it with me,
rather than ship it,
and I tend to like to frame it
(if needed)
myself.
You could then build up
a network of framing/canvas stretching places
you could partner with and reco.
It could turn out to be a source of extra income.

Change of scale akin to Donald Judd’s.
But Hugh, why stop there? Don’t just “go big or go home.” Go for “Smithson!“

I agree with Nathan Bowers. It sounds great…in large format. Something new, by the way.
