final

Final project for class‐ use color to show mood.

I'm not really sure what to call this. Rebirth, Sunrise, Coming Out? Take your pick, I've got more... it's something I've had in mind for a while, really emotional for me and I kind of feel weird using it as a class project. But I think that to really express mood in art it's good to draw stuff based on your own experiences and feelings.

If you know me, you know what it's about. If you don't, hello stranger! How did you find my blog?

project 5

These are some seriously horrible, blurry photos... They look so much nicer in person, but that seems to always be true of paintings.


So this is another project for class. Two pictures with the same design, but different colors, to make different things pop or fade into the background.
This is also the (almost!) final draft of a tattoo I want. Once I can afford it I'd like to have these guys crawling up my arm. But I think I'll have the right monkey's tail curling in the other direction. Seems like that would tie the design together a little better.

BLAH BLAH BLAH ART

project 3


Did these for my acrylic painting class. The assignment was to make a bunch of small designs using some basic design principles. Some of them aren't that great but others I like a lot.

If you've ever seen me in person, you know that this is exactly what I look like 99% of the time.

from the sketch book 3


Busy lately. I'm back in school and moved out of my parent's place. Living alone is pretty cool. It's like I'm all grown up, except I'm still totally not.


I played a drinking game with some friends a while ago that involved drawing. What you see to your left is the result.



I've been doing little sketches of people like this for a couple of years now, and I'm just starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of it.

But things don't always go as planned.
