So late last night, I officially completed my read-through of Sun-Walking. 12,000 words down, minus one character and some glasses, and I made it through with enough affection left to feel like just gushing about Lucienne. The story is so focused on her and it makes me feel good to have written what I think […]
So in my life, I either run from endings or I put them off. Usually with people, I run from them. With things — creative things — I tend to put them off. I remember taking forever reading the last chapter of “Immortal Rain.” I have a lot of good drawings that haven’t been shaded […]
So, about two days ago I FINALLY finished my third complete rewrite of the middle portion of “Sun-Walking” that I’m calling “Wind-Running.” I first started this “sequel” in June of 2011. I don’t think it took me long and then I rushed right onto the last installment, “Sky-Dancing,” and then suddenly for some reason I’ve […]
I feel so much like myself when I spend 4 hours working on a drawing rather than writing essays around finals! Actually, I only have ONE more essay of my undergraduate career, and then a small assignment that accompanies my last-ever final exam, which isn’t until Wednesday. I guess that’s why it’s great that I […]
So this piece is officially worth $500, and it is also out of my hands for the next year. I did it on May 24 2012 with ink and watercolor, and of course who is it featuring but Micah, my age-old muse…okay hold on, how old is he actually…OH MY GOD, I’ve actually been drawing […]
This semester has actually been a pretty prolific one for me, artistically. Pretty regularly I’ll take study breaks that consist of splashing out a crazy lady watercolor/ink drawing of her brain busting out of her skull… This one was done when I was supposed to be studying for cognitive psychology, which was a lame stretch […]
So after a stressful few days of classwork, exams, and academia in general, I got out of class today and did nothing this evening but art. Some of it was for class: I’m working on a larger version of my first book project for my Book Arts class, and I brought my materials back to […]
This was a picture I started on Valentine’s Day. It’s okay…’cause they’re not real. Anyway, I’m pretty happy with how it came out as a digital piece. I worked over traditional lineart first, but the lineart included their whole bodies, but when I was doing it in Painter and moved them down to the bottom […]
Now that I’m back in the rather hectic routine of my last semester of my undergrad, I’m not expecting to produce much more art than the stuff for my papermaking and book arts class, my last studio class at Augsburg…but fortunately, I already believe that the products of this class will be absolutely unforgettable. Tuesday […]
I always feel a bit pretentious talking about “fine art” that I produce — you know, stuff that looks more like what people think of when they hear the word “art.” Stuff not like my graphic novels and other digital art, or “character”-oriented stuff. But for the past like month that’s all I’ve been doing. […]
