Whoa! Sorry about the hiatus. I'll keep this short and sweet. I've been real busy for the past five months because I'm going <i>back</i> to school. Due in part to the extremely generous scholarship offer they gave me I will be attending the School of Visual Arts this coming fall. Sadly, I will not be attending Art Center like I originally planned. I am, however, I am <i>very</i> excited to be taking classes from Sam Weber and Yuko Shimizu in just two short months. This application process and plans for moving have taken up a lot of my time seeing as I am a full grown adult with a life and a boyfriend and two bunnies to move straight across the width of America from Seattle to New York. WOOF. In addition, I am a full time server at a popular restaurant. At the end of the day, after working and paperwork and faxing things and calling every secretary at SVA, I've just been too goddamned tired to draw! I managed to squeeze in a few personal projects and figure drawing sessions here and there. <br />

<br />Until I have more to share, here's a vampiro mujer to keep you company.<br />

It's about a couple who receive a mystery wedding present that is essentially a piece of typed paper that describes their wedding. As the years go by it changes every time they look at it to instead describe their marriage, but the alternate universe awful version of their marriage where they hate each other and are alcoholics.<br /><br />I was going to be a creeper fan girl when Neil Gaiman and his wife Amanda Palmer came through Seattle on tour by giving them a print but I was flat broke at the time. Opportunity missed! Ah well. Maybe I'll make a print and mail it to them.<br /><br />I would like to take this opportunity to show you guys my super fancy lightbox. I pay 622.50 a month for it, soo...I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">kind</span> of a big deal.

These were my Christmas cards this year. I decided to go multicultural! Ole! For those of you out of the Hawaiian loop, the gentleman in the robe, the broom hat and the Christmas tree spear is King Kamehameha. Mele Kalikimaka! My personal favorite is my suave Frenchman. He's kiiind of too cool for Christmas, but he'll stoop to painting you an impressionistic tree. If you're really lucky he'll make you some found Christmas art. C'est ne pas une tree.<br /><br /><br />The rest of this is all sketchbooks and nudes, dudes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zyAne4erlR4/TwUmX0f4uLI/AAAAAAAAAOE/GZsw6gkMABM/s1600/nov3.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Where did all that time go?<br />I have a bunch of stuff to share once I get around to scanning it. Which, ideally, will be any day now seeing as I quit my job of 4 years. Fear not, I have another job lined up but it wont start for several weeks. Listen, everybody, I know I'm still in the honeymoon phase but so far I really mean it when I say, JOBLESSNESS IS AWESOME. I am getting so. much. shit done! Shazam! It's amazing how much energy you have when you aren't having your soul sucked away by the general public on a daily basis.<br /><br /><br />In the mean time, here's the final artwork for that <a href="http://www.flyingcoffin.com">Flying Coffin</a> shirt I promised you like eighteen months ago. The shirt is available in three different colors and two long sleeve styles. Snatch it up from the online store!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TQTjnJUKnKk/Tq7Q25onX4I/AAAAAAAAAIk/VsEjzmjP2Fc/s1600/finalforweb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TQTjnJUKnKk/Tq7Q25onX4I/AAAAAAAAAIk/VsEjzmjP2Fc/s320/finalforweb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669698622508720002" border="0" /></a>Ponytail Partyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00560453824276478654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858283296630236612.post-86471953429598794232011-07-29T12:37:00.000-07:002011-07-29T12:51:02.162-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gxW6vIeggcU/TjMOUdZBrmI/AAAAAAAAAW8/vtmrD8FfqII/s1600/thumb.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vf_l2f9wSyY/TjMMcWShVPI/AAAAAAAAAW0/igE7wK5IoOE/s1600/Photo-1930.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vf_l2f9wSyY/TjMMcWShVPI/AAAAAAAAAW0/igE7wK5IoOE/s320/Photo-1930.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634861239929754866" border="0" /></a>Oh, hello there. I got this last week. Is it big and ballsy of me to say that I wasn't worried about getting in? I wasn't. It was a pleasant surprise to find out they granted me an entire year of transfer credit. Honestly, I neither asked or expected to receive that. I am, however, on ANXIETY WATCH 2011 for the financial aid package to arrive. I'm paying for this entirely myself and, ooo-eee, would I like some scholarships.<br /><br />Here's a thumbnail for another <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.flyingcoffin.com">Flying Coffin</a> shirt I did. I'll post the final drawing when the fall season is released in a month or two. I finally bought graphite powder for this drawing and god. damn. is it incredible.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gxW6vIeggcU/TjMOUdZBrmI/AAAAAAAAAW8/vtmrD8FfqII/s1600/thumb.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 220px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gxW6vIeggcU/TjMOUdZBrmI/AAAAAAAAAW8/vtmrD8FfqII/s320/thumb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634863303420391010" border="0" /></a>Zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05853697174356346261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858283296630236612.post-80021257544428480012011-07-10T22:52:00.000-07:002011-07-10T23:01:20.480-07:00DAILY SKETCH<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SUEmuGw_FOU/ThqQAq0jGOI/AAAAAAAAAWs/CVVcbgv4Sc4/s1600/daily.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SUEmuGw_FOU/ThqQAq0jGOI/AAAAAAAAAWs/CVVcbgv4Sc4/s320/daily.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627969025521948898" border="0" /></a><br />Now that my portfolio is done and sent I've been more or less taking it easy, although I still have several commissioned portraits as well as a few personal projects I'm trying to finish.

This is the first finished portrait I've done since I began painting portrait studies every week. This was done partially from live sketches and partially from reference photos.

Since the first painting I bought some new (read: heinously expensive) brushes and you can pretty much consider my mind blown. They were worth every penny! It appears half the frustrations I have with oil painting were almost entirely the fault of the shitty, shitty hard bristle brushes I've been using. They were SO scratchy and kept me from imbuing any sort of nice painterly quality. They blended when I didn't want them too, sucked up paint but never spit it out, and because of them I needed to use a crazy amount of medium to make the paint workable.<br /><br />My mind=blown.Zoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05853697174356346261noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858283296630236612.post-45945182207575025172011-01-03T01:02:00.000-08:002011-01-21T00:37:49.082-08:00A DAILY FOR YOU<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4bxj6hNScpk/TTlFkSZYcxI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/S0VNO3R14hk/s1600/whateva.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4bxj6hNScpk/TTlFkSZYcxI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/S0VNO3R14hk/s320/whateva.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564555304308863762" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Gettin' funkyyy!<br /><br /><br />I got a lot of positive feed back about the cards, so we'll see what I can cook up in time for Valentine's Day.
