Good Morning Freedom

Since I've been working on taking photos more than drawing, I've started a new blog. I'll continue to update this one - about as much as I already do - but will also be posting here. So, feel free to follow that one, too!

That being said, I have some new doodles - omg I bought a new pen set - so I really will be making a post soon (unlike MR. FISHY!)

Be good to me, cause I'm so good for you

More photographs. I'm really feeling photography lately.

Tightrope

For serious.

Weird characters are taking over our blog!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

michelin man and violin

Odessa

I should maybe start paying attention at school.

Stylo

I couldn't find my notebook for a bit.. but since a friend pestered me to see some of my latest doodles, I went on a hunt.

Friends and Kings

From September of 1997. The drawing on the left asks, "what is each person's role in the friendship," and I used to enjoy getting peoples theories. I'm guessing that the drawing on the right was influenced by Basquiat's crown, as I had seen the movie around that time and became an instant fan of his work.

I love the valley

So I was sitting in Development class yesterday, taking notes, when one of the diagrams inspired me to draw something besides the diagram.

GOOD STORY!




I don't know what it is, but it's certainly different from my regulars. Thanks, Myelination!

Hungry Mouth

Boy, do I ever know myself. I totally got caught up doing nothing over winter break. That being said, since being back at school, I've been doodling like crazy. Somehow, the content is even more boring this semester. Anyway, I won't post them all at once, but rather one at a time. Nanners.




This is my favourite of them all.

I got blogged!

This is the second time a website has used my PBR painting in a blog. Pretty neat.

Check out the blog




I also recently had this painting (and two others) turned into greeting cards:

PBR greeting cards

Liberty Bell greeting cards

City Scene greeting cards

Soul Owl

I'm taking a break from my all-nighter studying session. I've been working on some things.. one is Carl from UP with the Angry Bee; and the other is Snoopy, because my grandmother complained that I don't draw her anything anymore. Once they've been completed, I'll post them.

20 years of snow

I found some old doodles when I was going through my notes for my intro class. My sister says that I need therapy.

Flames fell into orbit

I don't have a doodle to post because I've done NOTHING all day, buuut, fishy decided to go through my last.fm and make comments. I've decided to post them.

THE END

Guns don't kill people... lazers do.

I'm almost done my first semester. This is either good or bad. Two things could happen: I'll be so bored I'll just draw a whole lot, or, I'll actually find things to do and won't draw and then have ol' fishy nagging at me.

I drew that stupid dog yesterday while listening to some bad presentations. I make note of the dog being stupid because I don't particularly like him, but I figure since I haven't posted in a couple of days (I just typed dogs, sheesh), I should include that little twit.

I've been thinking of a second tattoo lately, and while it would be of a pre-existing character, I was thinking of adding something to it. Once I doodle it up, I'll be posting it.

Picasso in the Attic

The drawing on the left was inspired by a Picasso print in my parents bedroom. The drawing on the right looks almost exactly like the cover of A Light In the Attic, but I don't remember if that was the intentional or not.

From November of 1997.

The ides of Smartch

This spread is also from a semi-fertile period in September of 1997. I was starting my senior year of college, and my design program tended to put the seniors on a bigger pedestal than they deserved, and as such I was feeling a bit of inflated ego. I was also for the first time in a few years taking fine arts classes that I cared about, and these two facts helped put a fire in my creative output.

The left page has the words "ide" written in a font I had created. The right page is white paint and black pen on a page from a Delaware phone book. I should probably hold on to my phone books for art purposes, for they might stop existing in a few years.

An Imagined Still Life

This drawing is from September of 1997. The pitcher or what have you on the left is from a magazine, and I liked the way the colors of the found image interacted with the still life on the right. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that the still life was done from my imagination and not from an actual still life setup.

Self Portrait and a golf score card.

A self portrait that my Canadian co-blogger might appreciate. Based on surrounding pages I'd guess this was drawn July of 1997.
