Growing Some New Concepts…

September 29th, 2009 — 03:39 pm

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!

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…

September 7th, 2009 — 05:03 pm

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.
