More Tales of Guts and Blubber
Things are looking kinda scary this month of course. Therefore, why wouldn’t a gut disappear off a body and start becoming its own entity? Read on to find out what happens!!
July Issue: “What Could Be Wor-” KABOOM!!
Finally here is the new issue into the digital hands of the digital readers first, before I misuse the copier at work to print oodles of copies. Actually, I only print about 10 and half of them are gone by the end of the month. If it’s misuse of company equipment, I call myself a REBEL then. A rebel with a mission! I don’t exactly know what that mission is!!
and yes I know I keep cutting off some of the bottom of the page when I scan. I’m too lazy to fix it.
Campfire New Years
Fuel
Fuel
Books fuel my imagination. I know if I read at least an hour a day, I have better sketch book drawings and ideas. Of course, also if I practice more drawing I do too. This is a drawing from my sketchbook. I wanted to create the look like the books were alive and dancing inside my head.
Scattered
Scattered
I know that it looks blurry, but it wouldn’t fit in my scanner.
I haven’t done an illustration friday in a while, so here goes nothing.
I just felt that most of us, at one point or another have felt scattered. Sometimes we need directions to help us find all of us and to feel whole again. I tried to make it look like a map. The faces that are all connected are just a way to show that universally we have all felt this way some time or another. And it helps to have someone along the way. Hope you like it. I think that I will try to make a better looking one using this same idea. Enjoy!
Friday
It’s Friday and it’s time for some Code Mush. Classic.
Mysterious faces
Mysterious face!
I have a tendency to doodle faces everywhere I go: in the margins of my journal, on the paper I use at work, and on the grocery list I take to the grocery store. I don’t know why, but that seems to be where boredom meets paper for me, hah. Actually, it might be that’s just what we see all the time. Faces. People I don’t know, or really would like to know, but people are everywhere conveying something on their face. Expression on faces is what I really like! And Isaac says I do that really well. So maybe that’s why I lean towards faces because I communicate through expression. And expressing comes in different forms.
This one, on the other hand is abstract and doesn’t seem to have any expression on the face. But everything around him (the shapes) are expressing color and movement to me. So even when our inward expression is somewhat aloof (or “mysterious” as i’ll use the topic word) the environment around us could be vibrant and could be having an affect on us whether we know it or not!
IF: Disguise
Origami Disguise!
I know that it has been quite some time since I’ve posted any art onto my blog, and also for illustration friday. I think my last entry was probably my best one I’ve done so far for I.F. and received a lot of great comments! Thanks for everyone who did, and sorry I did not respond to them. For this week, as I try to get my priorities straight (art and drawing being one of them, but sadly sometimes gets tossed aside), I decided to practice with collage, with color, and shapes. I think this helps me start “seeing” creatively again. And working fast, so that I can go onto something else in my sketchbook to help me wake up that part of my brain I’ve been neglecting.
So as I brought out my art box, I noticed that I had some little squares of origami paper which I have been saving and saving because I just loved the patterns on them. In fact, I might just scan some of the paper so you can see how beautiful the paper is. I’m not good at making origami at all, not near as good as my awesome boyfriend. He can figure it out, and I just can’t keep my attention on trying to fold perfectly long enough.
I thought, “hey, I’m going to finally use you paper, even though I don’t really want to cut you up!” and I used the topic this week, “disguise.” I thought that the fans on the paper kind of looked cool to try and hide the mouth (if you notice on the red paper). Well, I hope this helps me create some more collage and also draw some more today!
beautiful origami paper!
IF: Gesture
Food...a gesture of love
I love to cook, it’s a gesture of gratitude for the ones I love and I want to fill their bellies with delight!
