Random Sketches

Here are some random sketches for your enjoyment.


Do you remember Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal"?? Puppets and prophecies, what more could a kid in the 80's want? It has to be one of my favorite movies (and the reason I love Jim Henson and Brian/Wendy Froud) so here's a couple of sketches of the gelflings.

Redux

I was looking through some of my sketches trying to see if there was anything worth revisiting and I decided to do something with an old art nouveau, mucha-esque thing I did a few years ago (shocking I know).

Yeah, yeah- I know...

So, I really suck at updating my blog! But you guys know that already, right!

Octogirl







I've been working like crazy to get things ready for my senior show. And guess what - I actually took progress pictures! I started in acrylic, finished in oil and tried to channel Klimt. :)

Ex Libris Illustration Show

I'm having an art show and you are all invited! It will have new, never before seen work in it AND if you come to the opening reception you could be one of the lucky people who get to buy pins and prints of my work! I'll be posting more work in the following weeks, including the ones on the pins, so keep an eye out!

New Tablet!!

Just bought an Intuous4 and I LOVE it! It actually draws what I want it to and I'm psyched :)
Does anyone know why blogger desaturates the colors when you upload images??

Big City

Definitely very influenced by the trip to New York on this one.

NY Sketches









I was lucky enough to go to New York with the art department at UVU earlier this year - here are a few of my favorite drawings from the sketchbook I brought along.

Gretel in traditional Czechoslovakian (now Czech Republic) clothing. Well, sort of...
Watercolor!

Late.

I'll be sharing what I've been working on for my BFA show very soon, but in the meantime enjoy this scary drawing!

Okay, maybe this should just be called procrastinating...

Collage

This is from the beginning of the year. It's layers of paint that have been sanded and has a gesso-transfer map across it.

Post-It Art

Well, I'm back to school after a hectic summer. This semester my work will (hopefully) focus more on finished art & not just classroom studies!! (Yay!) I'm going to be concentrating on my BFA show for the upcoming year so that should be fun.

Ariel & Tinkerbell copyright Disney - of course!

Red & Green


A couple more oil studies, the top one had a red toned canvas & the bottom one was green. I've been looking at a lot of Sargent's work lately, so hopefully it will have a positive influence :)

Brown Paintings



More oil paintings - I kind of like the scratched up background. (I cut up a still life study from last semester and sanded over the pieces.)

Still Here.


Thalo blue, Cad. Yellow Light, Permanent Rose & White in oil paint! (I can hardly believe it myself.) I had 7 of these little paintings to do this week & this is the only one I really like. It has it's problems, but overall I think it was a success. (Sorry for the bad photo!) I tried to put some warmth in the reflected light/shadow side of the face. I really struggle with shadow color, & color in general... but I'm working on it! :)
