something new for you.

here's a new painting. it looks A LOT freakier than i intended it to look. sry.
hopefully it isn't too pixelated. a little of it got cut off. i'm not piecing it together. i'm on a stupid 56k modem so it's hard to really have the patience to sit through the crazy upload times.

ink stuff.

i haven't copied any drawings in a long time. i remember when i was little i would constantly draw disney characters. i just wanted to maybe mess around with them again, just to see how close i could get them to look like the original. the last one is the closest i will ever get to a self portrait, haha. it was originally for the illustration friday topic, "mask", but i didn't get it done in time.

other paintings

here's three things i made last night. it's on cardboard instead of canvas though.

hang.

here's a painting i did for this week's word on the Minneapolis Art Community Blog. it was for the word hang. maybe the bird isn't really hanging, whatever. i had to scan it in four different pieces, which kind of sucks, but i just compiled it into photoshop, so it works out alright.
16"x20". acrylic, watercolor, sharpie, and matte medium on canvas.

freelance?

might - illustration friday.

this might be a nightmare...

collaberation:

#1: Heaven
#2: Limbo

#3: Hell

this is a collaberation between a friend and i. yesterday i showed him how to use a wacom tablet, and he drew some doodles. i colored the pictures, and did the backgrounds. i guess you could say they turned out kind of wacky, but it was fun.
