A little this. A little that.

Got a couple more pieces done. Or at least in the works. The current project taking up most of my time is designing for my official webpage, which will feature my sketcbook, digital and traditional work, and my official portfolio.
One of the ideas for my web page is this little piece. The original art was done in Photoshop for Drawing and Anatomy and in eight hours was turned into a vector in Illustrator. The font work still needs some work (we all know typography is NOT my strong suite).

Then there is my Steampunk Sacred Heart piece. Done with oil on wood board. It was more of an experiment with clear gesso. Turns out I hate drawing on it but I love painting on it. Real easy to work those kinks out. This will be one of the pieces that will be going in the student show. Wish me luck!

End of Quarter Update

The quarter is almost over and hopefully this short break will bring some opportunity to get some things done. Mostly in line of cleaning and creating. Cleaning first. Creating second. I am going to be making shelves to organize my mass amount of clutter. I snagged some wooden wine boxes from work and the plan is to stain, paint, finish, and make them mountable for the wall. So much cheaper and more fun than running off to Ikea to get something like it. I also have a lot of art to finish. Including coloring the picture of Toby, finishing my steampunk piece, touching up some old paintings and working on another experiment with painting surfaces.

For now I am working on the finals and as such all art is schoolwork. Today's accomplishment:

The Most Interesting Man in caricature form. This is the first time I have ever tried a style such as this and I will say it is not my favorite. I can do it fast, but doing something fast does not necessarily make it enjoyable. Just happy that it was done in time for class. Just one more art piece to do. Of course I have been putting countless hours into detailing it. Not uploading progress reports on it as I want the finished product to be a surprise. Though flying wolves as a note are always great and fun to work on.

Puppies!

Okay, instead of doing homework like I am supposed to be doing, I have been working on puppies. Roman is finished. All he needs his a frame. Toby's lines are finished and when I next get a minute, he will have color added. They go by relatively quickly. Though I should still be working on homework. Shame on me. Ah well. If I am to be distracted at least it is by art!

Ta da! See, cute puppies. Do not be deceived these two are evil! Evil I say! When done, these will be gifts to my parents. Also part of my portfolio. Somewhere. But for the 'rents. Since it has been awhile since they have seen the boys. Now they will have a picture of them and art in the same package.
