what am i doing with my life?

drawing naked people and penises.
ugh.
sounds VERY productive.

another figure drawing from last semester, this time a homework assignment.
based off the poem "pity this busy monster manunkind" by edward estlin cummings
linky-linky READ ME.

also the sketch for my first illustration two assignment 'well THAT'S not what i expected'.

theres a blog for my class look at it here, if you wanna.

as per usual. clicktoenLARGE.
anyway. i think thats all for now.
hope y'all are having a great night.
happy saturday.

oh its naked time. for sure.

so im busy busy busy this week getting ready for all the busy-ness next week (guest, poetry thing, dc=more poetry) and im trying to keep things spaced out so that i dont overheat, or explode.
a.k.a. i still want to get normal human sleep hours.

anyway, competitive scholarship stuffff is due on tuesday so i have been trying really hard to be professional and photograph things so that they look nice.

so far i have photographed some figure drawings from last semester. so. since i have that stuff, that is what you are going to get today!

yay.
im probably gonna submit these and also some of the illustrations that have been posted on this blog previously.

i did all of these drawing in class in michael hindle's life drawing. he's a pretty interesting guy so i would reccommend his class for that reason.
also he really knows anatomy stuff. like bones and muscles and things.
i guess thats what anatomy is right?
anyway i really like the drawings so i think they're gonna make it in :)
hopefully they'll win me some moneh too!

on an unrelated note: MICA's history book is coming out tomorrow? im interested. maybe ill buy it and ill write about it or something. could be really cool. also fred lazarus t-shirts???? i want.

i think thats it for now.
happy thursday.

as i lay me down to sleep.

so silkscreening. piper shepard. good times. our first assignment is to make two prints. on should feature back to back repeats, one should feature brick or half drop repeats, both should feature two colors.
here are my designs thus far.

        

click to enlarge. if you want
the designs are based on the bed time prayer "as i lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep.. etcetc."

and i was thinking i would print them on bed sheets in blues :) also the fitted sheer would have the text of the prayer on them.
ahahaha isnt that witty.

im thinking about printing ts too!
more images once the hooplah has commenced!

18 credits?

oh heavens yes.
the semester is going well so far. im super-uber excited about all of my liberal arts non-studio usually boring classes. but theres poetry. and revolutions. and bodies involved so. what could be better?

nothing. thats what.
also im in three studios. silksKreening on fabric w/ piper shepard is going to be the best. evar.
and illustration two will probably be okay.

below \/ are my first two collages for 'collage' with mr. parlatto sir. we worked on them in class.
we were supposed to be inspired by the likes of hannah hoch and somethingorother mutu etc.
they look alright but im excited to get more collage experience.

sorry lincoln is crooked. bad scan-job. you can click to enlarge if you wanna.
you wanna.
oh the secret life of lincoln. i just bet it was a tawdry affair.

Back in Balt-Amore

so im back in b-city and its chillly, supposed to snow, so thats funsies.
ive been watching a lot of dexter lately. isnt it weird how writers can make you root for a serial killer?
usually i would absolutely not root for someone like that. except maybe the punisher.. i dont know why thats different.

anyway i thought i would post some more work.
this stuff is from an assignment in illustration 1 we were told to pitch an animated series and my series followed a guy named henry after he dies through his journeys through the underworld and the world of the living.

the following are some tarot designs that i thought could be used as like a promo for the show. like there would be a whole deck of them.

anyway its almost time for school to start and im really looking forward to second semester

It's All About the Handalier.

and that is a fact. no matter what the pope says.
this is an assignment from like halfway through the semester in illustration with Piero Macgowan.

i got the mumford and sons cd for christmas. santa has great taste in music.

needless to say im obsessed.

also i got fight club.

it's gonna be a good year. happy sunday.
