Ace of Swords - Progress Sketch

Here's a sketch I was working on last night for the upcoming Light Grey Art Lab exhibition: Tarot, Mystics and the Occult. I'm excited about it for many reasons - partly because of the meaning of the card and partly because of the collection of people that will be showing with us. I should be, but I've been procrastinating doing all of the other things I should be doing - while I work on this piece. I have another piece of art due this Friday for another fun show! I'm excited to finish these up and see what other people do! Yeah!

Sketching a little tonight, on top of a sketch I was making last night. I am considering doing a quick color of this one, even if it's really rough. I'm gearing up to do quite a few florals for a new project I'm doing with a friend. I'm psyched about it, but won't say what it is quite yet. As soon as the semester is over, I'll be looking forward to opening up a whole new can of worms. Until then, it's sketchy mice in some sketchy flowers.

Gnome for Tigtone

For some reason this piece of art has taken me forever to create. It's not that it took me that long to actually paint it in Painter, it's just that I've been so insanely preoccupied with everything else that's going on these days that I've only been able to work on it in spurts. But finally! I got it done! I'm sending it off to Andrew tonight so he can use it for his project : Tigtone. He is incredibly talented and a wonderful person. I'm excited that he's working on such an awesome project. I'm glad to be a part of it!

Work.

I just posted this one to the Paper Bicycle blog, but I really need to post it here!
I finished a pen & ink / Corel Painter combination piece of work for the Light Grey Art Lab show "People & Patterns" - for the grand opening!

You know -- every time you make a piece of art that has a deadline, you go through all the crazy stuff- like hating it, then loving it, then being precious with it, then freaking out until it's over - then it's done. And you like it.

That's what I went through with this one.

Here's another one I did for the show! Short and Sweet -


You know how I love to draw lips.

Needed a mental break tonight.

Wow. It's not a self portrait, but it sure looks like what I feel like. I have a to-do list that is way too long and totally self imposed. That's what you get, right? I mean, that's what I get.

Even after I went to the gym tonight, all I could think about was sitting down and massaging a painter piece to death. It's not the best thing I've ever made, but zoning out for a second and just listening to music while I add all the colors was everything I could have asked for.

Raccoon Painting, Finished

Check it out. I made another painting in the style of Field Boy.
This one is was painted for a good friend.
It's acrylic on Hot press watercolor paper (which is a new paper to work with for me)!
I think it turned out pretty well!

Maybe I can fit another painting into my schedule some day.
I'm looking forward to a week where I can stay home and crank some art out.
