Let's get some shoes!

My sister wanted some custom done converse hi-tops done by yours truly. She loved them, which I was happy about. Here are some pictures:

Epic Fail

Last year, I did caricatures at C'est La Vie, a local Edmonds shop that my mom is a manager at, during one of their Art Walks. Last year, I raised over 100 dollars for boys and girls club doing that. My Mom invited me to do the same thing this year, and I agreed. However, the outcome was much different. After 2.5 hours of sitting there, I only got to draw one caricature. I got asked by every old person in Edmonds what school I went to, and they said what I was doing was a neat thing, but no one wanted to get drawn. They were all afraid of how I was going to draw them...

Anyways, I ended up having an okay time just sketching while sitting like an idiot in the store. I did what I like to call scribble drawings. Basically, I just scribble random lines on a page until I start to see something. As you will see in the pictures, sometimes the results are quite bizarre.

Self-Portrait

My final project for my Drawing class. Black and white charcoal on toned paper.

Follow Your Nose... Whever It Goes!

I recently received a scholarship from the Edmond's Art Festival Foundation, and so they want me to put a piece on show during the festival. I am looking to sell some art this summer, so I wanted to paint a new piece to put in there. I came into this weekend knowing I needed a piece, but frankly having no idea what to paint. Under those conditions, I am very happy with the results. Here you go:

Life Drawing

Our assignment the last few days was to draw the face of a live model that came in for us. I am pretty happy with my drawing considering this is my first time ever doing something like this. Here it is:

Will the real edmonds beach man please stand up

Here are some drawings from art class today. My favorite day of class so far today. We just did life drawing all day, which was sweet! The model reminded me of the Edmonds temperature checker guy who combs the beaches. He walks around shirtless, letting all his hairiness show off wearing cutoff shorts. Sounds hot right?

Here are my drawings:



And here is the Edmonds beach man:



Now excuse me while I go take a cold shower...

Comic for this week.

Can anyone tell I think people play way too much Call of Duty?
