Sad Truths

Happened to me yesterday.

Baba Yaga's House

I don't know what happened when I scanned this, but immediately some of the brightness I'd lost just came right back.

Bad Days mean cool art?

I tend to make strange/creepy art when I'm frustrated. Doesn't it feel like, sometimes, there's just a big well of frustration going through you?

The Deer Hunter

An illustration for class.

Brandy and Sam

More pet portraits.

Wow I'm late

So I put off posting this because I wanted the brides to see it first and then I...completely forgot to post it. My friends Amy and Mandi got married at the beginning of July and I did a painting of their cat, Chivas, as a wedding present.

And now I just remembered that I've completely forgotten to get something else off their wedding registry. I suck.

Matt Smith

I actually did this a while ago, just thought I'd add it.

The ID Conundrum Solved

...for now anyway. I made it my ID but never actually posted it.

Durrrrrrrrr.

Doodles

Got some new brushes today and did some doodles. The second one was to see if I could do a painting without doing a sketch first. No pencil. Just watercolor.

Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome...

I ended up doing Sebastian Droste as well.

A Fine Vintage Yes Yes Cheerio

There is roughly as much explanation behind this one as the last one.

Pip Pip What What

I bet you're hoping for some kind of explanation or rationale for this.

I really don't have one. It's a capybara with a monocle and top hat.

In other news, I may have a job doing caricatures at the zoo. What? Why are you looking at me like that? It's a job. And it's art based. And I can go feed the seals afterward.

There's an evaluation I have to turn in first. They've sent me nine photos and I have to caricature four of them with black pen and in roughly ten minutes a picture. Not hard, but quite different from how I work, so the learning curve is largely in that. After that, hopefully, comes...well...being hired.

Mister Top Hat Jolly Good up there is the result of too much caricature practice.
