A Drawing

This is kind of weird but I am taking a Drawing class and haven't done traditional still life drawing for almost 30 years.  It was a good lesson in little patience, and will see where it goes from here.  It will hopefully improve my technique which has gotten a little rough over the years of animating.

A drawer full of ME!

Haven't done any meaningful printmaking since my college days, the techniques have changed quite a bit but I am enjoying the tactile after drawing on a tablet for the past year.  Great to work with paper and paint, make real mistakes that cannot be undone.

Breathe

It has only been three days of classes and I am all ready swamped under a rogue wave of confusion and work.  The confusion comes from my own nervous energy and a rack of pointed questions concerning my work.  I am quickly tap dancing and running my brain overtime.  So far no overheating.

In Savannah

I have arrived and settled in to Savannah.  Today is the first day of classes, should be interesting and I look forward to creating my artwork again.  It has been a long time since I have had the time to sit down and do a whole bunch of stuff.  Feel like I am breathing again.

Been a long time

This year has been a whirlwind, a crazy ass levy breaking flood of activity.  Plenty of animation work coupled with going to Grad School has left me dizzy at best.  I have worked on so many project that it is hard to keep them apart in the thickness between my ears.  I am about to leave for Savannah for the SCAD limited residency painting extravaganza part II.  It seems like a welcome break in the action although I know I may be busier than ever.  I do plan on accomplishing a lot and this blog will become very active again.  Stay tuned.

Graduate Painting Stuff

Thought I would share a piece from my Theories and Processes class from Grad School.  If you are wondering what the hell it is, it is an appropriation piece.  I took a photo of Andy Goldsworthy's "Rowan Leaves" and blew it up until pixillated.  I then took leaves, cut them into squares and emulated the pixillated section, I had highlighted.
