a variety of glasses! hm indubitably!

these were done based loosely on the penny arcade guys while i was watching their series show, which is hilarious and goes beyond the beyond on so many levels!

also: old sketch from that weeklong comics class, don't know why i didn't put it up with the other stufff..

2010-10-22T02:24:00.000-07:00

i think my logic here is that doing still lifes will lead me to do the other things i should be doing?

comics!

2010-06-26T00:08:00.000-07:00

one page comics each done in one day (8 hrs/day for five days) for a zero week class. learned a lot, and it was nice to actually get something done in such a short amount of time. suffice it to say.. comics are coooooooooooooool.

i have a fourth one but it is just the slightest bit too big for my scanner..

we gathered our comics together and put them into a little printed booklet, this is the cover with our self portraits on it. mine is in the bottom right corner.. :)

2010-06-25T00:36:00.000-07:00

here is a thing i drew.. since that painting-a-day deal is proving difficult.

bonus: just rewatched the darjeeling limited and had to draw these guys!

2010-06-22T23:54:00.000-07:00

pretty much in absolute adoration of blossom dearie's lovely voice right now. and, i'm gonna try and do a practice portrait painting every(?) day. maybe every other day..
