Travis needs to post more or else I'll have to put up crap like this

A (very) rough mash-up of the "mark assignment". I put it together in the 5 minutes before work, so imagine it looks decent.

I want to do it on creamy/light brown paper, with acrylic paint and red pen.


I don't much like this one, but I'll include it to give an illusion of variety. I'm not entirely opposed to color, so if you have any better suggestions...

My Turn

So...I stole Sara's idea and made a whale picture too.

and a dream picture

and some self portraits,
Mark liked this one...

and disliked this one...


It's been a long week.

Resolutions. ...?

I've finished a couple of things, but they're probably due to be revisited soon:

revision.
Mark says that I have to add some more touches of highlight, and I plan to. God, Jimmy, why didn't you warn me about this?!?!?!

poem layout
The whale poem layout! I hope that it prints well, and that I'm able to give the second poem illustration a similar treatment. I don't want to ever disappoint Bob Byrd. Never!

More later.

Only a steel man can be a lover

Being in a slump isn't the most enjoyable thing... but it makes for a more thoughtful sketchbook, albeit an embarrassing one.





I'd post some real stuff, but none of it has been worth worrying about lately.

I bet I think this song is about me

We have so much homework due next week. *dies*

self portrait, revisited
This is the revision of my boring self-portrait, "Homebody." It just needed stuff. How the hell am I going to do the color version? Meehhhh.


This is the main ginger ale down-the-blowhole illustration for Children's Book...I'll color this digitally, and just hope that it looks really good. Here are the two spots, as well...they will probably be placed on the top right and bottom left corners (respectively) on the text page:



Other than this, I'm working on that stoopid angel assignment, and I'll have to get on those finished sketches for Matt's class.
Life sucks.

Sovay

gosh everyone loves Andrew Bird

Here's a little something I made. Hopefully I can give it to him this Saturday. Conceptually it's nothing you guys haven't seen before, but it's my first attempt at oils. I compared this with the matchbooks I made for typo last year, it's nice to see how much I've improved. Still a long way to go though...


--More Andrew Bird lyrics--

This isn't art.

...or is it?

We all liked Jimmy's cardigan today, but Mark was particularly enamored.
