birthday card

so... of course i got distracted and didn't finish the outline of my paper. but i DID whip out a card for my mother's birthday! [which is next thursday].

so... ignore the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY." i did it on some green cardstock with colored pencil. i hope she likes it!

and... here's a self portrait i did for first year seminar.

it was supposed to be a visual representation of me... idunno. i guess i'm just constantly surrounded by art supplies and monsters. 

anyhoo, it's getting late and i have GOT to get a move on on this paper of mine.

so no dice on the DreamWorks presentation... i got too caught up in math and didn't want to miss the next part of the lesson. but it's okay, 'cause i'm scheduling a meeting with my academic advisor and the Columbia internship coordinator. 

here's a tattoo i designed for my sister... well, this is actually a re-design of a design i did for her like two years ago. i wish i still had the original for comparison, but... she lost it. it's just a little pencil doodle. 

scouted out our location for my group's shoot tomorrow... then luke [a kid in my group] sold his shirt to a bellhop at a hotel for $10. no, really, this happened. i couldn't make that up if i tried. shooting all day tomorrow, [hoping it doesn't rain...] then back to the grind on my homage project... ugh.

scoot yer little ass up that rouge car-pet

watchin' movies and working away at my essay... not much done in the way of treatment development today. hopefully i'll get some stuff done tomorrow. also, there's a man coming tomorrow to talk about internships with dreamworks... it's no pixar, but hey! i'll take what i can get if i can get it. 

here's a dude i made for a friend a while ago in pen and colored pencil.

so... i guess that's all in the way of class. my project is shooting this weekend, and the rest of my free time is going to be spent hacking away at my homage paper and absorbing movies. well... uhm... i guess, here's some doodles i did at work on receipt paper:

what i've been doing...

hey all! i'm an artist... so... i'll start posting artwork, shall i?

i guess i'll just post a few right now...

i started taking a drop-in figure drawing class on wednesday nights... the guy who runs it is named george, and he's a wonderful human being. anyway, today was-[well, yesterday really] was my fourth class. i tried using pen this time, and i like it so much more than pencil or charcoal!

... and here's a couple of monsters. because they're my favorite.

i've decided i want a tattoo on the back of my right arm... something along the lines of this^ guy. not this exactly, obviously, but still. i think he's charming. maybe it's because he's smillin' so big!

i've been terrible to this blog, just like i KNEW i was going to be. but things have been incredibly hectic with classes and midterms are starting too! in MIP we're starting our homage projects, and i'm trying to direct my own. so i gotta pitch it on tuesday in front of the two classes... oogh, nervous. i'll post the work i do on that as i get it done. hopefully i'll have some sketches of the characters and sets done this weekend. 

 til next time,
