Price...less Show Piece

Just finished a painting for another group show at The Hive on December 4th. I wanted to re-do a painting I did during the summer, which was my first on hot-press watercolor paper. I have to admit, it's n0t my best painting (small one on the right), but the re-vision is a big improvement.

Cautious Optimism

8" x 10"

Ink/Watercolor

The concept I had was pretty loose, but as I was re-drawing it I came up with something. When something good come one's way, that person is happy, but still have fears that the good thing may slip away, thus they are cautiously optimistic. The two people are about to embrace but they have their hands up as if they want the embrace to happen but are still reluctant. I have yet to update my blog with more exciting stuff that has happened and I apologize, my work has just been catching up with me.

Metro-sketch

Sorry for the overdue update, school is not letting up as usual. Anyway, my second assignment in Bob Dob's Advanced Illustrative Applications class was to make a sketchbook of...well, sketches while waiting for the bus, an activity which is almost become second nature to me. I want to make a slideshow to show all 23 sketches I did, so here are some of my favs:

The result was a tad rushed but it still looks pretty awesome, I would love to work on another before the year ends. I used a moleskine "Japanese Album" which is their fancy-pant way of saying it's an accordian book! I liked this style because it enabled me to look at my sketches all at the same time if I wanted too. This is my 3rd moleskine that I have owned, no way in heck it's gonna be my last! I have more news to share soon, I just barely had this pocket of time to update at the moment.


More updates to come soon!
