Funny story. I just made this psd lower resolution for web. Then instead of command+ Z, I hit S. *rage* Well, good thing I didn’t really need it for anything anymore.
This was the image i did for my litho project. I was not thinking very clearly when I put in all that detail (read: tight registration). Of the 28 or so prints I pulled, I think only one was perfectly aligned. It forged in me a deep aversion to pronto plates.  

Self portrait numero 3 out of 5.

Time to gesso over this bad boy and mess it up with some oil paint! 

I would write more words about how my desk is only a fraction of what I need to clean/ deal with before I pack up and leave this joint, about how I have 3 more of those oil self portraits to go, plus other things I don’t want to put into words about graduation and leaving friends and packing and finishing my projects…. I’d write more words, but it takes brain power and that sentence is already way too long and rambling. 

The abridged version: Two weeks left.

Digital sketch for my printmaking final. I don’t know why I’m doing this to myself, but I’ll be attempting to do this in dry point on a 12 x 22” sheet of acrylic. And then another sheet of the same size I’ll do another one that will work as a dyptic. I’m realizing more and more how impossibly difficult I’m going to make my life if I actually try and go through with this.

Hey guess what?

My sketches were picked- I’m getting my illustrations published in a magazine! I’m so excited! 
Here are the sketches I sent in. 

So I need to come up with an idea for my next project for Intro to Printmaking and the complete freedom of choice is crippling my creative process. Yes, that is a thing that can happen. It’s a pronto plate lithography project, so something that incorporates a photograph is fair game too. Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what you’d want me to draw?

Gesture drawings I did at Gesture Jam today. They had in at the park together with SCAD’s Sidewalk Arts festival! Highlight of the day- the bouncy castle. So much fun!

Because why do homework?

Model, drawn at an open model session for my advanced portrait drawing sketchbook. I’m scanning all I have so far for midterms.
Next is Lena, my good friend (and fellow illustrator) who agreed to pose for me.
Then a master study of a Rossetti painting.

Some samples of what I’ve been up to!

Did I mention my club is the best?

scadsic:

Just a little spot illustration for a Getting Published project.

So that drypoint etching I was working on? I pulled a state proof today. I put some green on the barnacles, but you can barely see it. My camera died before I could get a decent photo -__-

Working on a second poster sketch for a play featuring her works.

Drypoint etching! :o 

Intro to Printmaking project 2. It’s supposed to be even more difficult than the first project to get consistent prints. I am going to die in Alexander Hall this weekend, broke and buried under piles of ruined expensive paper.
