The Last Big End of Drawing!

The objective—to contrast two formal elements of drawing, combine two dissimilar concepts to create a new meaning, integrate a found object, use an alternative drawing surface, employ both wet and dry media, establish and break the picture plane, and find an interesting way to display your work.

This is mine. I call it Home vs. Away (ft. an old funky suitcase.) Kind of a personal narrative.

The End of Color Theory!

Final project. It has colors.

Fun With Shape and Pattern

A Different Perspective

Sighting perspective drawing done from a town square in Savannah. Not so crazy about plein air.

Déjà vu.

Color theory. I feel like I've taken this class somewhere before...

It isn't art school until you're up drawing your own face at 4:30 in the morning.

Fakey McFakerson

The objective—reproduce a representational and abstract work using wet media only. A couple of my favorites, Degas and Rothko. I actually enjoyed this exercise.

 

Slappin' Some Crap

I think I like pastels better when I can be sloppy with 'em.

Krab Salad

What do you get when you mix a plastic crab with a missing leg, an old rubber whale, some fake gourds, and a piece of wax fruit? This—

Still life with a bunch of old crap.

So, since I don't have any fabulous deign work to show this term I'll have to post my drawings instead.

Sad.

Drawing likes to kick me in the face on a regular basis.  Perhaps one day I'll punch it back.

Tater Type

 

In typography club we made letter stamps out of potatoes. It's all fun and games until someone (and by someone, I mean me) carves their ampersand backwards (or, in the case of stamps, right reading.) Unfortunately, tater type has a very short shelf life but you can immortalize it in Photoshop. 

A Portrait of Agent Cupcake

They're making me use pastels. They're very messy. Here's my first drawing with them. Try not to laugh (too hard).  Agent Cupcake was concepted and hand sewn by the fabulous Shoko Saito.

Johnny Cupcakes.
Uh-mazing lecture. He took a picture of us from the stage.

Geek Out

I just found out they have a Typography Club here at SCAD! I couldn't be more excited.

It isn't art school until you're crying in the bathroom.

I have arrived. And, I've survived my first week! Color Theory, Drawing II, and Math (for dummies) will consume me for the next couple of months. Thanks to SCAD's fabulous five credit system I'll be "reviewing" a lot of things this term. I'll be sure to share any interesting tidbits and projects.

Here's what I've learned about Georgia so far—the water tastes like rotten eggs, the bugs are bigger than humming birds, they don't believe in toilet seat covers, and the humidity feels like being slapped repeatedly with a dirty wet sock. I'm adjusting.

I had to leave my camera behind but I plan to get a little point and shoot so I can take pictures to share. Shouldn't be long.

I miss everyone terribly and, as promised, I will be staying in touch.
