I’ve been working on this for an auction. I’m pretty happy with it just need to work on it some more there is something slightly off in the larger face.
I did find extremely hilarious that my camera’s face recognition software focused on the the face, and after I took the photo it asked: “Did somebody blink?”
YAY an actual update!!! I bet you never thought you would see the day. Anyways, about this illustration…I had this real lame design project to do an advertisement, but the cool part was it could be any advertisement we wanted to I decided to do a gig poster and cd cover I still have to do the cd cover, but here’s my creation. I’m pretty happy with the results and if you’re curious it’s not a real band I just wanted to live out my cool folk girl band dream. Maybe one day (not really music is not a talent of mine.)
So the 6th day of stencil project has past and well no photo because i couldn’t even do it for six days strait. As usual I was a little more ambitious than time allows me to be at the moment. Anyways I’m gonna save that project for the new year since I will be cutting back on hours spent at work in school.
So what the hell have I been doing? Well, I just finished the first of three paintings for my design class and it only took 42 hours outside of the class room and of course the project is due Wednesday. This project has quickly turned into a big nightmare mostly my fault did i mention i’m a little ambitious when it comes to art work? In addition to that I just finished a little mini photography series inspired by rothco’s paintings and finished my lino print and am working on a new silk screen. That being said as soon as I catch my breath i will be scanning/photographing my work and will post soon.
Don’t give up on me,

I am doing an awful job at keeping up with this little blog. In my defense not only am I working full time I am taking 3 art classes that’s 16 hours of just sitting in the classroom a week and at least and additional 20 hours of working on the projects either at home or in the lab. If you’ve ever taken more than one art class at a time you understand it is both creatively and physically exhausting. I have completed three pieces and will be posting them as soon as they have been returned, until that time I wanted to say that I am being creative every day and that I am in fact still alive.
On that note I wanted to mention what “creative” plans I have for the future outside of continuing my formal education in the arts. As an artist I like to do project based work, but as previously mentioned I’m a little short on time especially for my own personal endeavors. Then I had a brilliant idea (or at least I like to think so.)
THE PLAN! The plan is to create a stencil on a 2x2 inch square every day for a year! I will print a grid every 6 days and will be posting them as soon as they are dry enough to scan. I look forward to sharing these mini stencils and look forward to your comments.
I’ll return in the not so distant future!

I have been slowly getting rolls of film developed that have been collecting dust. I have no idea what is on them and thus far most of them have come back blank. I did find this picture in one of the rolls I remembered the shot instantly. It’s not like I’m a fan of road kill or that I’m just some lost soul that thinks death is beautiful in some misunderstood way. The reason why I really like this picture though is because I love the color blocking of the yellow and grey that creates this awesome graphic quality.
I am an explorer. I am not an artist, photographer or craftsman because I enjoy using all mediums to explore all things seen or unseen. This blog is more or less a field journal of my exploration and experimentation in all things creative.
