Safari

After all that jetting around, I'm just getting a chance to look at my stuff from August. I thought I would start with something simple. A few elephants on safari.

New Mexico Hiatus

I'll be away for a few weeks while for a vacation in New Mexico and Arizona, so I won't be able to post until mid September, earliest. See you then!

Day Five

You may notice that there's no "day four," but it's not a mistake. We had an unexpected museum day, which doesn't really fit in with the theme I've got going here. But we were back on Friday!




I probably won't be able to post from Florida, so this may be it for a few weeks. I'll try and make up for it when I get back!

Day Three

Some of these drawing day photos are a bit blurry because, well, I took them with my phone. If they look really bad to me when I get back, I may repost with better pictures of them.

Day Two

Day One

Today was the first day of my three week long drawing/illustration class. I can't promise that I'll post everyday, but here's some highlights from our first day of drawing.




This last one is actually two separate drawings, but the poses, and their placement on the page almost look like some kind of acrobatic act for Cirque du Soleil.

1000 Voices Part II

This illustration if for my friend Mimi. It illustrates her opinion for Evan Turk's A Picture for a Thousand Voices project.

Often, I do a couple of versions. Here's the other one that I liked:

Equality is achievable if we keep our hopes alive,

because the minute we back down is the minute

they'll think they've won! - Mimi

Mostly I wanted to express Mimi's determination to persevere, and her hope that, through that perseverance, over time we can achieve equality. Since Mimi's opinion was fairly general and abstract, I kept the illustration abstract. I hope she likes it!
