I caved. Peer pressure wins. See y'all there!

Ya ya ya!

FINALLY finished these. Lordy. They took sooo long.

It's the "Idea of the Color Wheel". Dumb assignment, I know. But I decided to have some fun with it. I made modern day interpretations of Klimt's work, through the primary and secondary colors. Yeah. I like 'em, sort of. Not my best, but it'll do. XD

Tales from the sketchbook(s) Part 1

It's time for a random sketch/doodle post!

Ready set go!

That's all, folks! Maybe more tomorrow or the next day or the next day. I'm a busy bee, yknow.

All I want is a soldier hand in hand with you...

What up?

Just decided to quickly post a drawing that I just finished. Critique tomorrow, yikes!

This is an ink wash on a ripped up christmas songbook hahahah. These are my two guitars, Boris and Sandra, and my uke, Jackson! 8D


LATER GATOR.

Suddenly it hits me that there's something out there for us...

I'm on this crazy insane Swellers binge right now. Last.fm has recorded almost 600 plays and I've only been listening to this band for about eight days or so. I think Ups and Downsizing is a fucking masterpiece. I can honestly listen to it forever (or it feels like I can...)

ANYWAYS, here's a drawing I did in Photoshop for one of my classes. I like it very much.

I could go on a whole big ramble about what this is about and the concept behind it, but I don't feel like it. Appreciate it for what it is, I guess. I find it extremely cute. It sort of makes me want to make a 3d version of it out of clay haha.

I will leave you with this. Because it's awesome.

Finished my drawing. I like it. I'm going in for my first critique today. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really nervous, haha.

I told you I didn't want my picture taken, but you snapped it anyway...

Hello internet!

This is my nearly-finished assignment for my drawing class. It's white ink on black card stock. I was going for a negative-image-meets-photocollage sort of thing. If anything, I think it has a bitchin' sense of movement. The quality of the actual drawing is pretty "meh", though. I'm not gonna kid myself hahaha.

I'm totally ready for another week of school. Bring it. Live models in drawing class tomorrow! Exciting! I've never really drawn live models before. I wonder if they will be clothed... haha.

Alright, later y'all!

They must return to their lives once the hero has died.

Woooo. OCAD week two is almost complete! I must say, I'm having a great time.

I doodled this in the back of the sketchbook during my Color class (my dullest class, by far...)

kitties!!! hahaha

OKBYE.

What if we were created to gaze at the stars??

My new favorite song is "The Stars" by Jukebox the Ghost. Infectious piano pop at its finest. I am so smitten by this band. (:

Ummm... I just finished this drawing/painting for one of my classes. It's just a weekly exercise, so it's nothing major that I spent a huge amount of time on, but I still like it!

 So...yeah! That's that!

Progress

So I finished another of my characters last night, and I cut both out this morning. I'm currently debating whether the cardboard is even necessary. We'll see.

I guess the cardboard thing just depends on what I plan on doing with all these components when they're all done. HMM.

So I'm working on this mural...

I've recently stumbled upon a large quantity of flat cardboard, so I wanted to do something with it. What I decided upon was a cardboard cut-out installation for my wall of various characters. I'm gonna be drawing them in ink onto medium weight paper, placing it on top of a cardboard sheet, and cutting out each figure. Did you follow that? I guess it doesn't really matter, I'll show you what I mean when I get there. For now I've drawn the first little dude, which you can see below:

Oh, and this week was my first week at art school! It was very exciting. I like my profs very much. The vibe is very energetic and inspiring, I think. It's gonna be quite a bit of work, though. I hope I'm ready for it, haha.

Chocolate soy milk is absolutely delicious.

Alright, this is where I leave you guys. I hope you're enjoying life, whatever you happen to be doing at the moment. (:

xoxo

Don't you forget the things you're leaving.

So, my friends and I had our final get-together with the entire gang last night, before we all start moving away to our various universities over the weekend. I wasn't even the least bit sad until people started leaving this morning. I'm going to miss those motherfuckers like no tomorrow. I haven't felt aching in my chest so bad in a long long time. But anyways, that's that. I'm home now, and one of my best friends from Florida landed in Toronto late last night (she's attending the University of Toronto this year! Woo!)  So I can't be completely sad today.

Also, I finished this drawing a couple days ago for a guy named Gary whom I met over at absolutepunk.net. It's a new/better version of an old drawing I did, based on the song "All The Pretty Girls" by a band named Fun. And it was, well, really fun to draw. haha. I'm mailing it later today. I adore it (:

School starts on Tuesday, and I am more than terrified.
My Photoshop CS4 is acting up like crazy so I've abandoned the project 365 out of sheer frustration with the faulty software. Rawr. I'll be getting CS5 soon enough, I'm sure.

That's all. I promise I'll be updating more now that school is starting up soon.

New drawing: WOO!

It's called "WOO!" 

I drew it in photoshop with my Wacom Inutos4 tablet. It's actually one of my favorite things in the entire world. I will never stop raving about how awesome this tablet is.

Took me less than a day. Maybe 11ish hours. 

The full resolution is something like 20"x24" at 300dpi

I like it.

Inspired by a combination of things: Wilmer Murillo, Crash and the Boys, my friend Jon's hairy legs, Kick-Ass... (:

...WOOOOO!

Project 365: Week 8 update

Starbucks, packing, doggy, lightning, cosplaying.... haha

Northstar. Come back, please.

Nick Torres is awesome. Everyone in that room needs to shut up and listen. This acoustic rendition of the song is so breathtakingly pretty.

I want Northstar back. Or maybe I just want Nick to play MY birthday party. I wonder how much I have to pay him to fly to Toronto?

Project 365: Weeks 5, 6, and 7 update

wow, it's been a long long long while. Graduation happened, then I went to Florida, Warped Tour... I just haven't had time to upload anything. And to top things off, a bunch of my photos were analog, so I had to wait to get them developed. But finally! I'm all caught up and here are the past 3 weeks, from June 23 until July 13th.

Project 365: Week 4 update

Yay photos! I'm almost a month in, now. Only roughly 11 months to go! I CAN DO IT. (:

My room smells like oil paint.

Randomly felt like painting today. I technically still have exams on monday and tuesday, but I'm not going to worry. Even if I fail them, I'll still be on my way to OCAD come September.

I have a chunk of linoleum but no idea what to carve into it. What should I do what should I do??

I've recently come around to The Weakerthans. They're pretty great and they remind me of Troubled Hubble.
