Gallery Reception

The gallery reception for "Pages" is this coming Sunday at The Daily Planet! I'm really excited since this is my first solo gallery. So far it's been published by the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, Burlington Free Press, and Seven Days. If you're in the area, please check it out!

Daily Planet

This past weekend I was up in Burlington VT because The Daily Planet is going to display my work! The show will open in November and go until the New Year. I'll post the paintings as I make them ^.^ This'll be my first official gallery show!! The opening will be in late November or early December.

Fun fact: it's right next to a place called "Rapunzel". Yup, this is a good fit XD

Big things have been going on. First of all, I have a new baby cousin (^.^<3) so I've been working on some sewing projects for him. I've been working on getting into art fairs and placing orders, etc. I even got some beach time (finally). This, unfortunately, means very few things have gotten past the sketch stage.

I cranked this out the other day. It's an ACEO that'll be for sale at my upcoming fairs. It's all I've been able to work on for a little while. The gold here is actually metallic on the actual piece, since the original is for sale.

Oh, other news, I've been redesigning my Tumblr like crazy and I finally got it pretty. (Go check it out?) And I have an interview with the Daily Planet in Burlington VT this week to display art. :D

Tower

I'm shamelessly obsessed with this movie. I got a new watercolor block last time I was up in Burlington VT at Black Horse and this was a fun way to get to know the texture of it. I'm not 100% thrilled with this piece but I like it for now.

edit: 100 posts!! FTW!!

Pffft

It's amazing how quickly to feel like a real-life, honest-to-goodness artist when you're covered in gesso and paint all the time and you plan your outfit based on whether you'll be working in clay, paint, or ink that day. It's kinda awesome. Once I actually get it together, I'll have some paintings, another comic, and another animation to post but in the meantime, I have a self-portrait doodle that I just whipped up out of need for nib-pen. Shush, "need for nib-pen" is a real thing. I also posted a quickie drawing on Etsy. If some of what I saw at Burlington's Art Hop can sell for $400, I would like to think my stuff could sell for at least $15. (Also, the Art Hop is quite epic and I'm kinda kicking myself that I didn't know about Burlington's epic art scene earlier.)
Oh, so; self portrait.Kinda mopey-looking but I was kinda strapped for inspiration. Yikes. 2am. I should probably go to bed so I can drag my butt to ARTH tomorrow.

Scenes of Burlington

One day for class we went downtown and sketched out some of what we saw. Our assignment was to draw a two page story with downtown Burlington as the setting (or at least parts of Burlington). I really had to pee for this little field trip so, here's what I got.

This was the first time I used non-photo blue color pencil for the sketching part of it. I LOVE NON-PHOTO BLUE! :D I really didn't think it would work but the end result speaks for itself. I inked it with nibbed pen and india ink on Bristol board.
