Here's some shots of my piece from my craptastic digital camera.

You can barely tell how big is.

some images from my bfa show sketchbook

Here's some early shots of my unfinished senior pieces. well.. it's finished now but wasn't at the time of these photos. i think i'll come back and edit these sentences later.
they are 5 1/2 ft water colour and gouache pieces.














And the closeup shots. I'm going to get this proffessionally photographed when I have them both together again. And maybe one now. And it's rumored that I may get these framed for christmas *__*

Here's a few watercolours from last semester. Mostly from zoo visits. Some not. Here's a couple of cheeky little birds from the tropical bird house. They'd just gotten fed and didn't mind pictures. I'm probably lucky that they didn't peck my eyes out. They didn't have the Kukaburas during my watercolour class, so I think I'll go back with my watercolours and make some nice Kukabura watercolours. Especially if they are eating their dead mice. And here's my feet with awsome fuzzy sock power.

More zoo study work.

Skitters the professional art critic says:
"I like the use of color and the composition, but it could use some more tonal variation."

Of course this is just a study for a larger piece, lord knows when that will get done. Hopefully soon.

Skitters: "Hey, show them that beautiful piece you did of me in the jungle. Go on, it's such a perfect portrait. I think the audience will love it."

Yes well, here is a dangerous Jaguar from the zoo... or Skitters, depends on who you talk to. And if you're talking to my cat you're crazier than me, and I feel bad for you. But he is quite the conversationalist.

More sketchbook work from my zoo studies to come. And eventually some bar scene sketchbook pages. It's just rather hard to squeeze my sketchbooks onto scanners, so I'm trying the whole picture taking approach.

Nysa Like Ball

My very first print of my very first copperplate etching ever. I have gone in and done a lot more work to it since, although there are alot of mistakes that are just bad drawing. But I was really more concerned with figuring the whole process out. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but now I'm quite excited. Hopefully there will be a finished print of this and a finished colograph print ready to upload by Wednesday.

Bar Sketchbook

A few sketches and watercolours from my bar-crawl sketchbook. I think I need to work more on scanning watercolours, the scanner did not seem to pick up the colour very well. Maybe I just need to find a different scanner to use. Scanners displease me.

Sketches from my zoo series sketchbook.
The first is my exploration in abstracting zoo photographs.
The second is a Kookaburra singing his triumph over his frozen-mice lunch.

Both are drawn in ink.

Here's some doodles of Nysa that I did in class the other day. Isn't she just the sweetest puppy ever?

Okay, this username was taken because it's all tied in with google. Dur. So yeah, it was taken by me.
So now I have an art blog. Time to go find art to put in it.
Here's a picture of Nysa for now.
