Encouragement

Had a pep talk with Will where he sent me this:




Fortune Cookie Fortune that I got today:


Still have some ink under my nails from the studio yesterday. haha. Impossible to get it out of all the crevices sometimes...

Good things will happen soon.
I'm on Fall Break! woo! No class Monday or Tuesday!

Gouged Ink



I intend to print some today and I find this awaiting me.
Who do these punk kids think they are? Gouging up all the community ink.
I swear.

This is the second can of ink I have thrown away in as many weeks.
I haven't even checked all of them.

I swear.

I printed another layer of my reductive linocut today, but it was terrible.
I'll probably post it sometime later, but... It is not good.

Howdy

I have been kind of lazy in the studio as of late, I might have some in progress shots of my reductive lino soon... but as of now, it's mostly just blue, and who wants to see that?

So here is a placeholder, a little watercolor I did this summer. I like it, but also, eh.

The New Girls


Spend a few hours in the studio today. Working on these girls.




This is the first one I did, she's still in progress (they all are) but without her the other girls would not exist.






This girl started out at my least favorite, but now I really am starting to dig her.





This is the one that i'm afraid to work on because I already feel too precious about it.
Which I realize is the death of possibilty.
There needs to be something done about her left hip's dark flatness....
K.P. suggested a cutout white circle to mimic the one around her face?
This might be what I do.

I've been trying hard not to get precious about art stuff.
If you do, you're doing it wrong.

So, are they drawings or paintings? ;)
It's ink, some acrylic paint, and cut paper on bristol board.

In Progress/Studio Shot















Just some in progress studio shots.



















I'm working on this collage/painting right now. Really like it.
Enough to be worried if I mess it up or not.
haha

Little painting



Reserve.

Acrylic and collage on paper.














This little painting is around 11 x 14 and has been the only sucessful sort of painting I've done this semester.

If I never mentioned it earlier in my blog (and that was so long ago, who would remember?) I am getting my BFA in Painting and Printmaking at Eastern Kentucky University. I will graduate in May 2010. Hopefully on to bigger and better things after that (like grad school?)

I've been kind of stumped this semester as it is the first semester of my last year, and I've been kind of strapped for interia ever since my grandmother passed away last month.

So, there has been very little work coming out of me, much to my professor's chagrin. Another reason for the blog. Accountablity, I suppose. That is, if anyone reads it. haha.
