fly away

I have been inspired as of late. I got a job which I am really excited about. Its at an amazing indie bookstore that I've wanted to work for a very long time. It's not an art job but it is still breeding my creativity. Plus I will be around fun creative type people anyway. It will also afford me time not to forget to do my art. I am pretty happy right now.:)

The reason for this piece of work has to do mainly with the fact that at the goodwill a few days ago I purchased a globe. I also have a huge map of the world on my wall over my books. When I was younger I did tons of odd jobs for my parents so they would give me money to buy a suitcase with the map of the world on it. I love the thought of travel. I love the places I have been able to visit and I yearn to see more. I also adore the pastel sorts of colors that are on most maps and globes. Totally my color palette. Maybe thats one of the reasons I was drawn to them as a kid. But anyway I love my globe. "Be Free" is the saying on my business cards.

edit.
I just added this simple art too. I love the bunny, shes jumping for love.:)

hiatus over.

wow Its been a huge hiatus. Just to fill you in. I moved to NYC. It wasn't for me. I moved back...so now I'm in SF again. I needed my friends and family. I am currently looking for a job...oh the joys of being out of school.

This piece came as a whole result of how I've been feeling since moving back from NYC. It was quite a big blow to think you want something so much only to realize it was not for you. I value my family and friends so much. I missed the weather..and just the general feel of sf. So needless to say I've been pouring my heart out quite a bit via phone. I did that a lot while I was in NYC. Talking to friends, family..trying to figure out what to do with myself how I should approach things.

Also two things got into the spring show. Amazing. I was so happy to find this out. "Bunny Dream" got in and my Ernest Hemmingway piece..so yays:)

spocks brain

this is what happens when you spend too much time matting art all day. You need a reprieve from all that. I decided to draw spock since I'm super excited to see the movie on thursday night. Work was done in photoshop. P.s. I have a total crush on spock. just so you know...I know. I'm a geek. I have a weakness for defined noses...and intellectuals.

submit

finally figured out the three images I'm going to be submitting to the spring show...and Ive got to say that matting these things is way more stressful then the drawing. my hands are shaking..I get way too nervous matting things, the margin for error is too damn small.....
anyway...I get to go see star trek the night before It comes out and I'm excited. Makes me want to do a drawing of spock;)

oh angry

just because angry bunny is always good for a smile.

he likes spaghetti

and he loves me. since he is my angry side....lol.

star warsing

this is probably at least a year and a half old drawing. I still like it though. I currently want to draw spock which is leading to a battle with my star wars fan side.
random fact: at 15 I went to a star wars convention here in san francisco. I went dressed as Princess Leia in A New Hope. I won first place in the junior division of the costume contest.


I also like making paper hand cut outs. Anyway. I'm going to try entering 3 things into the spring show for 09' academy of art. Heres hopin I get in. Ill post the 3 I'm going to be submitting soon here.

done done done.

all I can say is finally....


done with homework.
