Karlie Fail is a fail due to printing on the wrong side of photo paper. The top image being the ruination of the second. The top image is a good note for future experimentation.

Funny how these glitches do their own thing. Severely complex chemical reactions playing out on a color photocopier. Resist techniques coming from the nature of the paper. So who cares if you have to ruin one to get a great one.

On some level the process could kind of be replicated by removing there black layer from and image. Then offsetting certain colors to create the ghost image that happens on left side of the image.

But then you don’t get the excitement of the find. The thrill of the accident. Plus to copy it through technology would be trickery that isn’t in keeping with what I am doing here.

So what am I doing here? Who knows? Trying to offer something unique and authentic. Now I just need to get to work on something that is all that but also new and ready to go up.

I must get something done immediately. I have two four day weekends at the end of the month. Prioritize my time before then so I can push something out.
