Because I obviously can't keep up.

Matt & Kim

Very energetic and uplifting, this feed is great for doing household chores or just to get in a good mood.

A couple pictures taken during the summer. One at Laguna and one in Manhattan.

Halloween

2009-08-07T00:00:00.000-07:00

So, I'm thinking I want to be Karen O for Halloween-just because I wish I could dress like that everyday and be taken seriously. Is anyone interested in researching and shopping for materials with me?

My new favorite Pandora feed, Regina Spektor. Try it out.

'Nother Sketch

2009-05-06T16:06:00.000-07:00

This is a detail of a larger sketch I'm working on- but I liked this part so that's all I'm posting for now. She's the main character of a story I've been throwing around for a while now and her name is Teren. I started to flesh the story out a little more because I'd like to try and make it in to a comic eventually. I've got pretty much everything except a climax and conclusion-at least in rough form. I also need to decide what style to do it in...I can't do an entire comic in style of this drawing- I'm just not that good!

Sketch

Just a progress shot of a little sketch I'm working on in an attempt to teach myself good photoshop skills. Pants and boobs.

Some really old stuff, revisited.

This is sooo old. I started it in high school and just rediscovered it after my hard drive crashed last month. I liked the colors, so I decided to start tinkering with it again.

The Finished Thing

Here it is, in all its glory. Or at least it's as far as I'm going to get before our anniversary tomorrow.

A Present in a Painting

2009-02-11T00:43:00.000-08:00

For all the people I've been telling about this, here are a few progress shots of the painting I'm doing for Mark for our 2nd anniversary. It just means he can't know about the blog until the end of the week...I hope I don't forget that I'm not supposed to tell him...

And without the flash:

I figure if he has this when he finds a new place to live, at least it will be a little bit classy.

I'm really glad that I decided to do this little project. It's been years since I've done a painting for myself and not for a class. It's also the first time in a long time that I've worked with acrylics. I forgot how much fun painting is and how much I love art. I feel like I'm rediscovering the artist in me I thought was lost, so hopefully I'll have plenty of stuff to put up here in the future. Enjoy!

The First Posting

2009-02-08T21:56:00.000-08:00

Well, what to write? I've been thinking about doing this for quite a while now. It seems like the right time considering I just filled up my last sketchbook in under two months- something I haven't done since I started college. I guess now that I don't have to be creative for someone else's sake I can be creative for my own.

I'm creating this blog so that I have place to put things that don't necessarily demand a website update- sketches, works in progress,etc and also just to have a place to talk about life in general... for all of the adoring fans I have out there...

With that said, I'll get back to this later with some artwork and more talkies. Time for bed!
