January 29, 2008Here are two fairly recent sketchbook pieces:
Here’s a photo I took of Maggie way back in October 2006. I had just gotten her, and I’d also just gotten a Canon Rebel T2. Good stuff. Anyway, I call this shot “Million Dollar Maggie.”
At the beginning of January I went down to Los Angeles to visit my mom and step-dad. For some reason my step-dad showed me his gold-capped wisdom tooth and I suggested that he turn it into an earring. And look, he did it!
Totally bad-ass.
Color and letters and lines.
January 27, 2008This one is about 8 years old, but it’s still one of my favorites. (Micron, markers, gel pens)
And here are a couple of recent sketchbook pieces in which I attempt to get back to wherever I was (mentally, artistically) in the above piece: (Chalk pastel, ink, collage, paint marker)
And lastly… I got bitch-slapped with nostalgia the other day. I wandered into the Books Arts studio at school, where I’d never been before, and found all the letterpress stuff. I was suddenly hit with a memory that I’d never recalled before; I was maybe 5 or 6, sitting in front of the TV early in the morning watching a Sesame Street segment about letterpress. My Dad was sitting in his recliner smoking a cigarette. I remember being completely taken with all the letters, and even more taken by the fact that they were all backwards. Anyway, it was a nice memory. I hope I can find the Sesame Street segment on YouTube.

I gotta gussy up this blog, huh? It’s so generic. I’ll make a header some time soon. I drew an elephant–maybe I’ll use that.

When school let out for Winter Break, I went home, sat down on the couch, and drew this. It’s my dog Maggie. She is a Pit Bull. She is perfectly harmless except that today she ate all my chocolate chip cookies. In this drawing you can kind of see her boobs–they’re actually not so saggy anymore. This was drawn from a photograph that I took Christmas ‘06 when we lived in Los Feliz, California.
