Kelly — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 08:32:02 +0000

I got a tumblr, to dump all my random images and video and whatnot into. Tiny Plastic Trees.

Also redesign of this site is coming soon, stay tuned.

Oh its been a while hasn’t it.

Its been a while, I’ve been busy, school is busy and life is busy, and then my poor little blog disappeared for a bit but now its back, and here I am! I registered for classes next semester and let me just tell you, my schedule is awesome. I only have class Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I am taking a Jan. intensive on motion graphics, which will be hard, but it means I only have to take 4 classes the rest of spring. So I am taking humanities B, and art hist, color theory in painting and then a tutorial. So I only have three classes to go to, because the tutorial is where you just meet with your mentor three times a semester, not really a class where you have to go to a class. Its going to be fantastic since this semester I was so in over my head! I have to head to class now, so another update will be soon, but I will leave you with this little gem…Drew an I as Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain on Halloween.

Sunday on Mount Diablo

Sunday afternoon my little group took a trip over the bridge for some lovely scenery…

In the car…

Beautiful views.

Growing Some New Concepts…

Another set of imagery I’ve been working with a lot this semester are these things I call seed pods, because I get told they look like a giant tropical tree’s seed. Which is cool, the one with the yellow background is an image I’ve been screen printing and the blue one is just a variation on the theme I’ve been doodling in my sketchbook.

Practice Makes Perfect!

I’ve recently decided that I’m going to learn to draw better, and today I seem to be fixated on drawing eyes. Eyes are the window to the soul after all! Here are a few sketches from my sketch book, taken with my cell phone, not the best quality but it gets the job done!

Also, over summer I gave away some older pieces I did to some relatives, my cousin Michelle framed one of them and it looks amazing! I wish someone would pay to frame all my still life work it makes them look so polished!

Work Work Work

Hello internet. I forget you exist sometimes when I get very busy. I’ve been working on so much studio work lately, which is exhausting but awesome, I feel like I’m finally back into my old flow again and it feels great to be making meaningful work again. Aside from that my social life has been busy as well so I haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and write at this. So here are some pictures, more fun to look at anyways!

A bad picture of the current painting I am working on.

Beautiful San Francisco, a sunny day driving over the bridge.

Back To School, Back to School…

Kelly — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 23:03:54 +0000

It’s that time again, the back to school and homework and projects time. I’m back in San Francisco, just in time for some nice warm weather, just as its cooling down back east. I’m also taking some pretty awesome classes this semester…

Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic: in which on the first day, the class stood in a circle and held hands and transfered energy through each other…our teacher has outright said we are going to do “weird” things, this should be interesting and definite something different.

Screen Printing: I am super excited for this, I’ve wanted to learn to screen print for a long time now and its a good cross over from digital media.

Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign: Another class with a teacher I’ve had several times, again a class I’m excited for because I’ve never worked with Indesign.

Frameworks of Art, Design and Technology: This class is with my department chair, and I was really skeptical if I’d stay in this class, because its six hours long on Wednesday starting at 9am and I’m just not a 9am type of girl. But I went to the first class and I’m pretty pumped for it, it should be really interesting and delve into more abstract design ideas.

Math: I don’t know what to think of this class, the teacher is a riot, he says “math is not about numbers, and all that shit, its about all that other shit, and logic is just what you use to clean up after the parade.” Uh what? I don’t know, but apparently Pythagorus was a cult leader? Yeah. This will certainly be an experience…

So the land of school, as of the first week was good, I’m pretty excited to start making stuff again. Outside of school things are more or less typical…

I got another tattoo…a lighthouse.

And I got a haircut, I’ve been wearing my bangs forward like this now, I think its cute.
