Here I Dreamt I was an Architect

by the Decemberists
And I am nothing of a builder
But here I dreamt I was an architect
And I build this balustrade
To keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet
This structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go

Harold and Maude

One of my favorite movies.

Fleet Foxes

This piece is a portrait of Robin Pecknold of the Fleet Foxes. What I really liked about drawing him was that his hair is brown and his beard is red. Does that happen a lot? I don't know, but it's pretty cool. The first picture is the comp and the second is the final.

hair man

This is one of my favorite this this term.
The face is based on a drawing that my friend Graham sent me.

Scarlett and Natalie

For Notorious, I did a bunch of celebrity portraits. These are the two that are most recognizable.

Scholarship Wall

This past week I put up my scholarship wall at school.
It was a lot of work, but at the end it was worth it.

End of Off Term

I've had a lot of freedom these past 14 weeks.
I don't have a lot of finished work to show for it, though.
I'm not upset about that.
I'm actually happy that i got to experiment,
and not be forced to commit to anything.
Going from one thing to the next and not feeling pressured to
'have' to finish it is great.
That said, at this point, i feel more sure about where I want my work to go,
and what I want it to look like.

You leave, you get left.

I've been working in my sketchbook daily. something I haven't done since before art center. kinda sad. I have time for it right now, and it's been fun, and liberating.
here are some scans

New Old Stuff

These are all in-class drawings from Gail Donahue's Drawing for Illustration class last term.
I just got around to photographing them .
