aaaaahhh this thing has been taking over my life!!

munny

wip #kazillion

not much progress but... I have been working on it. I am hoping to finish it Thanksgiving break but I have kind of hit a road block with this thing.

I cut off a rather large portion of the painting, but truthfully I'm thinking of taking an exacto knife to it. It looks so much less compressed and busy without it

some weird sketchbook stuff.

...but I got a munny to decorate for class! I started practicing by using a much smaller munny I bought at the MoMA store this summer. I do not know when I'll finish it, but it is a nice small side project

I drew/painted this after I saw where the wild things are



Didn't like the top of this... a couple hour painting. I will try and fix it up tomorrow

As a precursor to a bigger project I had to do three illustrations depicting a modernized version of the Orpheus and Eurydice story from Greek mythology. Here they are:

I have been making art, but haven't felt like posting much.

PROGRESS!

Sorry for the lack of updates. School is about to start again, I scratched my eye (apparently I'm prone to accidents this summer) and I have been on the move lately. Add the fact that my camera broke and it makes me short on updates.

But I have been working on a few things, and below is my current work in progress. I am thinking of making this into a series of paintings about WWII, namely major battles and attacks. This one is namely linked to the Battle of Britain and the blitzes, but can also be loosely linked to the drop of the nuclear bomb.



I go back to school in a week and I am very excited. Not only will there be more posts, but hopefully I'll learn a lot this year. I have improved and changed so much in only two years, that I cannot wait to see what two more will have to offer me. I also will be attending Art Out Loud at the Society of Illustrators with my good friend Leslee, so that should be a treat.

guh life has been really hectic, haven't been able to work much.

but I finished it:




I also retook a picture of the walls between us with a better camera. the results are much better than the image I had before:



tomorrow it is going to be 85 degrees. I finally get to go spray-painting, woo!

Because I haven't been able to draw, I took out several old pieces that I am hoping to finish instead of stressing over making new art.



small illustration in my moleskin



this picture is almost two-years-old now and is ridden with mistakes and other shit, but since I have nothing else to work on I decided that I would take it out and finish it.

I also have a huge piece of plywood outside that I prepped to spraypaint, but Texas weather has been killer.

the walls between us

here's a painting I have been working on. I am hoping to finish it either today or within the next few days... whenever I stop being lazy



that white background is taunting me.

the king's highway

This is my first time using arches hot press, which I quite enjoyed and will probably start using from now on.

EDIT: went to class for critique... so fixed up the image a bit. I might mess with it more later

As promised, here are four (out of six) of my matted pieces for my upcoming show:
