Sketchbook Project

These are the pages from my Sketchbook Project 2011 entry that will be touring this spring and summer across the US. My theme I had to follow was "Nighttime stories", and this is how I ended up interpreting it in the last week before the deadline (I was having serious motivation problems since the deadline wasn't biting me in the butt like I was used to at SCAD):

I know it has been a while, and I apologize. It took me a little longer than I thought it would to realize I am in fact graduated from SCAD, and my motivation to do work was failing me. However since the deadline was approaching, I kicked it into gear and I have now finished and mailed my Sketchbook Project submission- it's on its way to Brooklyn as we speak. I'll be uploading the artwork here as soon as my scans are retouched. I plan to go visit it in April in ATL while it's on tour. I'll have to post a picture of my new drafting table too. It's my new baby :) love it- thanks mom and dad, fantastic birthday present.

When I post my art next time I'll give you an update to my next project too. Til then everyone- Gonna finish an Amberbock, and hit the hay. G'nite loves.

Sooo, I wish I could say that I've made some progress since last post, but I found out that we would have to move out of our house and into an apartment in the neighboring city (by today basically)... hectic is best way to describe the past two weeks. Finally finished moving this morning. Annnnd my final class starts on Tuesday....

I did receive my sketchbook in the mail for the Sketchbook Project, but I may replace the paper in it with some Arches 140 lb cold press. "Night time stories" here I come...

Hopefully things calm down again soon so I can get some extra time on my hands where my brain is not a hundred miles ahead of me.

Though I am getting a new Intuos tablet next week from a friend who has only used it once but is giving me a fantassssstic deal on it (goodbye 6-7 year old 4x5 wacom tablet whose pen grip is falling apart) so hopefully it will spark some more digital artwork too.


Man, moving, and working a 40+hour week is taking its toll... I apologize for this being pretty sporadic- my mind is all over the place right now. I'll update again when I actually have something to show and not excuses for a lack thereof. :P

Recent news

Sooo, just an update. Savannah Candy Kitchen emailed me back and they said my editing was great, however, they want to put the project on hold so that they can get better photos of the products for their catalogs and website. Meh. But, they are going to get back to me if/when they get it back up and going again.

Haven't heard back from the Back in the Day contest, but they closed up shop for a week and a half. So that we'll see about still.

My notebook shipped out yesterday and should be here soon for me to start filling up. Anxious and excited at the same time.

ALSO, I just found this contest, so I'll be working on this too. It's a food poster illustration :) Fantastic. Going to attempt all three categories. Am I crazy? I have a month-ish to do it. Have to make the time and push myself to do it. I will do it...

And lastly, I put color back in my hair on a decisive whim this past weekend and (fortunately) my boss lady likes it, so I don't have to take it back out. I think because of it though, today when I was at Kroger picking up some groceries, a man stopped me in the canned good aisle asking me to join up with him to get a band going. He asked if I was musically inclined and kept talking to me for about 20 minutes trying to get something going even though I insisted I was an artist and not very musically inclined. He was surprised I didn't play an instrument or sing for performance. He mentioned his sound was like Evanessence or Paramore. And this is the reason I believe he scoped me out based on my haircolor. I told him to contact me if he needed any cd artwork, but other than that I couldn't help much... (I'd prefer to work on my artwork than start a band I have to leave in a few months anyway.)

School starts back up soon. Two weeks I think? Hard to believe it's almost over.
