In Toast to Keri Smith

I noticed within the last few days a blog entry from Keri Smith regarding grids and her fondness of them. A pic of one of her net grocery bags as example. As a "commercial artist" for a million years, grids and their use for commercial art and publishing are rather boring - to be honest.
I have been stuck to grids and graph paper art for too long, but it does not really bother me too much. Gives me a sense of comfort and familiarity actually. I am NOT dishing Keri Smith here - heaven forbid! I love her work and she has inspired me many times. I just thought it a tad strange to see her bringing up grids. I would have thought she also was as tired of them as I was! However, the path is many and the rivers wide and all of that... perhaps BECAUSE she has not done "commercial art" for a million years she has not had to be part of GRIDS!!! hahahaha.
In honor of that, today, while I was working on my own project "views from my windows", I took a picture I really like with the screen in place over a very close up macro pic of my terrace garden. Here it is. I took it with the thought of making a Photoshop color sample or filter or 'something' but then later was remembering Keri's post yesterday and wanted to post this as a reflection of that.
I currently have so many of those shopping bag nets around my collection of Altered Book stores, I don't know what to do with them - but this "screen" shot was rather cool I thought!
I do have several more pics of this shoot with the door screen in place that I think turned out fabulous, but you will have to wait until I decide what to do with them. Right now I have to go finish cleaning the bathroom and take a shower ;-)
