Really cool filament bulb from an awesome magazine my art teacher brought in.
The bulb is done in colored pencil, with the blue/white background in acrylic.
Triptych of my baby brother, Becket, and possibly one of my all-time favorite pieces. Except the hands panel. I lost the better version of it, and now I have a shitty panel instead. Still pretty happy with the overall outcome, though.
Oh, look, it’s that letter opener, nearly finished.
The envelopes may get addresses, and they will have wax seals, in addition to a large wax seal on the left-hand side just under the handle, if I can find a seal satisfactorily large enough.
(The text peeking out of the open evelope is Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130:
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; coral is far more red than her lips’ red; if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; if hairs be wires, then black wires grow upon her head; I have seen roses damasked, red and white; but see I no such roses in her cheeks…)
My favorite piece this year, technically speaking. (I love Becket’s triptych but it’s also a personally valuable piece, since it’s of family.) I spent forever on this, and I’m quite happy with how the mosaic look turned out. That furniture magazine is the greatest for collagework.
Finished and matted version of an earlier sketchbook, which is posted here somewhere. I’m quite happy with the turnout, and I am in love with the patterned-paper book we have in our art room. I use it constantly, and it’s pefect for matting.
Drew this on my arm when I was having a particularly bad day. It helped (and, surprisingly, no one even noticed it, despite being rather large and obvious). Art as catharsis.
Text reads “I’m afraid, this is going to hurt. Good luck.”
Work in progress pic of my quarter of our jaguar mural for National Art Honor Society. It’s on this black box that is really dumbly constructed, but I’m content with houw it ended up.
Rose Lalonde as the Ace of Spades, emulating Brett Helquist. I love Helquist’s style, and especially his use of crosshatching.
It’s not actually drawn on my binder. It’s just in the cover (which is why there’s a spot of Greek in the background which translates to, roughly I think, ‘Why should I dance?’ but it’s totally irrelevant) and I’m going to buy some beige or grey envelopes to use as the background. Also I used it do defend myself from a ghost today in Hamlet in English. Who knew I’d’ve needed it?
I’m so glad to be done with this thing.
