My Life

So I had to organize my music because iTunes is made of fail and so I got to listen to a lot of Everclear (because they are my favorite band and I legally have all the songs they've ever recorded in my music Library ) and listening to them all made me remember why I hearted them so much. It's becuase at lest there first three albums remind me a whole lot of my childhood and my teenagedom and so I plan on getting some of those songs that I can relate to the most and illustrate my own life with the song lyrics. This is my new task It's going to take some time since well I have other project that come before it and the fall semmester will be approaching soon though provided that they didn't split our Illustration class I will have Friday's off which is a good thing. And I'll be able to do things for this Everclear project.

So just a quick self portrait with a shark hat and sunglasses on done in crayon an a single watercolor wash.

The reason that I even did this is because I've been wanting to do a reportage illustration with people in crayon (kinda gestural but at the same time fairly tight so its legible) then a watercolor background that's super tight. I just wanted to make sure I could get the effect that I wanted out of the technique first. It's not exactly what I wanted but its close enough that I think that I'll be able to pull off what my mind intends me to do...

Works in Progress

Water color of my boyfriend and myself that I'm working on just for fun I accidentally used hot press water color paper instead of the cold press so its taking a lot longer than it should because I don't want it to look overworked.


Not really too far at all on this one but its just kids looking at ice cream at a place like maggy moos or coldstone one of those types of deals and its really fun to look at all the different expressions that kids make when checking out ice cream. It's either going to be done as a watercolor or a gauche painting I still haven't made up my mind but it will deffinately be on streched coldpress water color paper 'cuase I strech everything I do.



This is just a preliminary sketch for an ink drawing I'm going to be doing on Bristol which a bamboo quill thingy just a few class makes trying to figure out where we're going on the subway.

Just something silly I've been wanting to play with and its "Narwhals Inventors of the Shish Kabob" where you have a narwhal was a street vendo and a fish buying a shish kabob. Going to be done with prismacolor markers 'cause this is just something silly and I'm not afraid to take a risk. That and haven't work with markers as much as I was hoping to this summer.

Thats it for the works in progress leave any crits you want in the comments I'd appreciate it.
