velllum

found a bunch of vellum paper dumpster diving the other day. really exited. time to use it...

A.I.

This is my newest sketch, its going to be larger and in color, but im pretty into like machines and A.I. and space right now so im pretty exited.

Mohawk

tried out some styles for my 'hawk, i thought the spikes went down pretty good, but the fan not so much, oh well it will be better next time around im sure.

haircut

almost forgot about my new haircut, for anyone who hasnt heard or seen it in person, here it is:

i think its pretty rockin but im gonna dye it blue when school gets out

plans

alright, so ive got some new stuff coming, more ideas yada yada

still looking for a big drawing board or something like that

i think i may just put that big drawing on paper after all

or make something big out of like paper mache and then just

rubber cement a layer of white papers over that... but i did get a 

pretty sketchy idea in my sketchbook for what it will look like, more and mabye different media, the sketch is watercolors, i plan to use more markers for this. (the picture)

and i bought silver wire today to work on Courtney's birthday present.

also im working on my zine, still havent come up with a title yet but its gettin there ideawise

and i have a photo book to make for class, im really exited about it

another project: since Bowen is out on the west coast (of MI) im mailing him some stuff because he has no internet access. sort of like a few cool things, i feel like im making a collage or something, its just to show whats been going on lately. 

and ive made some changes to my belt idea, im actually just enameling the 3 plates on either side of the buckle, to make sure i can finish it. i can finish the rest that way at home. hopefully it works out, i have most of the stencils for the buckle cut out in metal already, and the kiln was being used for casting today, but ill have everything ready to enamel the buckle by monday hopefully. thats all as of now : ) (pictures for all of these later)

Updates!

I started collecting silverware that looks like this

im pretty exited, although im having a hard time finding knives to match : /

Also, i put my app and stuff in for the CCS summer program

hoping to get some scholarships there

this actually was a pretty big help because its the 

first time ive had an entire portfolio assembled, 

although i think it could really use some work

like more drawings from observation.

im also starting a new drawing, but i want it to 

be really large scale, but not on paper

im having a hard time finding a markerable material 

that big that isnt paper so it could take a while

thats all for now : )

Markers!

I've gotten more into drawing again, and thinking of new 

things to illustrate. So, i busted out my markers, and this is the major 

product of the last week and a half or so. Rendered in Marker, 

Acrylic paint, Colored Pencil, and Spray Paint; on Illustration Board.

Easter

With Mom out of town for Easter

Me, Dad, and Anna were left to our own devices

We decided to go buy a gps at REI and spend the day geocaching

We found a total of 6 geocaches

and we plan to go out and find some that we missed, and more

during the coming week

(due to my horrible lack of camera memory that day, i have a few pictures that dad took of a cache called the 'Ent'. a fitting discription for the tree its in. unlucky for us that means we have

to go back later with an extendable ladder.)

Anyways, after the 4 or 5 hours of that, we arrived back home.

We were later than we had hoped, so to be faster, i just made waffles for dinner,

and we completed Easter with Blazing Saddles on the projector.

All in all, Easter was pretty fun this year.

Heres the 4 pictures dad took:

The 'Ent'. It's a little hard to see from this angle, 

but it splits at the bottom to have the appearance of 'legs'.

And the whole tree was hollow, from top to bottom

I also took a bunch of pictures of our Geocaching adventure:

Tunnels Cont.

More Tunnel pictures

After i went back to reshoot the ones i had on film

Tunnels

I had some fun exploring these tunnels

The pictures here are the ones I took Digitally

I have to go back and retake the analog ones

There was some issue with the film but they all came out blank

Which is a bummer but just another trip over there
