this is stupid...

when i get bored

i dunno what

Done this one up the other day. Its chalk pastel and pencil of I don't know what. The first is a photo and the second is the image scanned. Its all mismatched because the scan took forever and I gave up,
although, I sort of like the messed up copy more.
I find my illustrations lack excitement and i need to work on that whether it be through different graphic elements or mistakes.

oils

One thing I've done which I haven't in a while was paint with oils.
Using them I came to realize I prefer acrylic when it comes to painting detail. I think these couple of cocks show that ; p


BUT its much more fun to move paint around with oil. plus, they give off richer color with less effort. in that case i made this abstract? piece which is now hanging in my brother's kitchen.

I think i'll stick to illustrations..

oh yea..

I guess I should update on my little "seclusion project" which has become more of a "i'll continue to do everything I was before but be more productive..project."

I'll start posting a handful of things I've been working on.

child star

found this great picture online. its totally creepy/wonderful and decided it'd be really good to use with chalk pastels.
picking it up again made me realize how i use to actually like pastels. probably will try my hand with them in a few more portraits and a watercolor mixed media painting.
