The Sketchbook Project

I signed up for the Sketchbook Project http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject and I'm pretty excited for it! My sketchbook along with hundreds of other people who are participating get their little sketchbook they provide to tour across the country as well as stay in a library for people to see and I think mine will be put on the innerwebs too. I haven't had a whole lotta time to work in because of how work demanding this semester has been. However I did take an old linoleum plate I had and instead of using ink, I used colored pencils to imprint on it as well as embellish a little. I dig it. I will do more of these I thinkcolored pencil vs

ink

Julie Seltzer and me

My roommate Julie Seltzer had an installation had an art show! Well it was more like a party/show with a bunch of artists at a friend's warehouse (Ghostship). I won't get into too much details but at some point it was impossible to get in or out because of stampede at the door, and of course the cops came.

Hers are the three lovely big screenprints around and mine are the eensy ones in the middle. Apparently our artwork was defiled but it's okay, they were prints and our hearts are still okay.

I made it to my school's illustration department's spring show! I can't make it to see it but if ya wanna see The Academy of Art's spring show, I'd highly suggest it. We got some fabulous talent, oh boy. Here's the piece that made it in.

These other two didn't make it in but go along with the same project I did in Illustration 2 (a watercolor medium based class)

victory rolls

Those were my two pieces that got into the show. A swell show and a really interesting venue place. It was raining that night and with my friends in a cab we got lost. It's ironic the place is at a dead end and it's called "goforaloop" hyuck hyuck we sure did. I didn't sell anything but it was really nice to see some old faces that came to show support. I hope to get into s'more serious shows where more of my pieces can get in. The ones that are mine is the smallest one in the middle (the aquatint etching of the williamsburg bridge I posted in my last entry) and this old scratchboard piece

I left a bit early to go see Simian Mobile disco, who I will say, were AMAZING! I danced my hoo-ha off. So I didn't get any pictures taken of me during my gallery show but here's one with me and couple friends outside of the Mezznanine. Wish I had a picture of my outfit without my coat. It sure was cute :3
Also I put my hair in victory rolls but you cannot tell. Sorry I can't seperate my art from being a girl in my blog sometimes

Freedminds show!

http://www.thefreedminds.com/
A few of my pieces will be featuring in the Freedminds show this Friday with a bunch of other local artists. It's gonna be quite the party I know it. Anyone in the bay area reading this should definitely come.

Here's a scratchboard piece I did this semester in printmaking that will be in it and will be for sale.

Like A Virgin

For this painting I did Spring semester for Clothed Figure painting class I took pictures of my v v v fashionable friend Danielle. I look forward to seeing her just to know what she's wearing (AND BECAUSE I LIKE HER DUH). She dresses with the same sass (and amount of accesories) as Madonna on a regular day basis. Gawrsh I wonder what she's wearing now......... BUT I DIGRESS! This is her Madonna Halloween costume. So here's the photoshoot for that painting I've been meanin' to post

SHE'S SEEEWWW CUTE

pages from my tangible journal

I scanned a few things from my moleskin of this past year. It's not an art moleskin more of "I HAVE TO JOT THIS DOWN RIGHT NOW" and a million to do lists. So many of them and so little room I had to start putting tracing paper over it. So nothing to aesthetically pleasing. Here are a couple that aren't embarrassing to show imo

The "whatever dude" drawing was copied from a piece that was shown in my ancient art history class. I thought it was funny that there was one girl looking away from the royal ceremony not giving a whoo ha.

one lousy sketch for my halloween costume of Cat Bus from My Neighbor Totoro

ME. THE END.
