The destroying of the comic sans.

BRIEF: You are to produce in the workshop, in 3D, the character A. Twice. The first version is to be made out of wood, the second may be made out of any material you like, just as long as it is white.

The typeface is comic sans. You may not distort or change the typeface in anyway other than making it depper, in the 3D sense. The size is up to you, however.

They are to be produced to the highest specifications and the highest quality finish. The painted wood versions are then to be taken out, as a family group, and photographed.

Following this, you are to take away your individual contribution and destroy it. You must submit a minimum of 3 images which should document the before, during and after elements.

Below is me sanding my A, the final outcome and our family day out..









As for my other A...i came up with a few ideas...cake - eat it, plaster of paris - blow up, shaving foam - shave off, cheese - leave for a mouse.
I thought of white things...milk, tip ex, paper, salt, sugar, flowers (petals), icing, meringue.
I thought of ways to destroy things...smash, blow up (firework, dynamite), disintegrate, mould (break down). bla bla bla.

Anyways....i made mine out of cheese to leave for mr jingles the mouse (he lives in my kitchen - he's not a pet!) ... but he decided not to come out to play...so i went to plan B...and used the mozzarella to make a lovely meal of grilled ciabata with pesto, tomato and mozzarella on a bed of young leaf salad. So i destroyed it by melting it under the grill and then eating it! ....it was dam good too!!

However... the photos came out CRAP... so i decided to go down a new road ... a more playful road... including fancy dress!
So I dressed up as a lumberjack and chopped up my letter A with an ax.













Many thanks to Mr Jon Endres for being my photographer for the day.
