Back at school
I have 5 studio classes this semester. That's a lot. Pratt (my figure teacher) is asking for 16 pages of sketchbook work per week, and is apparently fond of giving a great deal of homework besides. It'll be alright, I could use the practice. We spent the first class doing 15-minute drawings:

Final Summer Post
My dear friend Tammy got married today. For her wedding I gave her a drawing for herself and each of her three children. Here is the process sketch I did thinking about Elizabeth's mermaid (see last post), the sketch I did for Tammy's drawing (based on a bunch of thumbnails that I drew and the advice of friends) and finally the final for Tammy, ( Read more... ) -
Poster images for Tammy's Babies (well, kids)

Dodo Studies
Becky Fryer is the daughter of a friend of my mother's. She (Becky) wrote a story about dodos and my mother asked if I would be interested in doing an illustration for the story. I did.

It's funny, it is developing into a complete idea, a whole concept... strange thing. There are a great many things I need to change but I like this little ( Read more... ) -
GD project for Polly's
I should have scanned the original diagram so you could see... I also need to snap a few photos of Polly's. Mostly 'cause it's a pretty cool place and other people have posted photos of their summer studios so I may as well post the place I've been working, right? Anyway, we have this diagram at work that is used to divide the dining room among ( Read more... ) -
A prototype, a final and a gift.
First, a Prototype, finally cooked and given to my sister. I am contemplating buying a bunch of different fake nails, tossing them on a sheet of tinfoil in the oven and seeing what survives, because these ones... didn't... {frownyface} Buuuut, it was sort of an interesting result. Just wish I had gotten a couple better photos.

Sketch and prep-work
So, I have been working hard so far all summer and have scarcely had time to pick up a pencil. But I have finished with my father's room my friend and teacher Lynn passed a commission on to me and it's for a wedding that is coming right up on Saturday. I also went to my friend Ivy's graduation and finally got to sit still long enough to put pen ( Read more... )
