Portraiture 2012

These are some drawings from my portraiture class last semester.. 

this was about juxtaposition and a split or two panel drawing. my roommate is scared to spiders so.. 

this is a really terrible photo..

this is a self portrait i did, i haven't actually decided which way i like to hang it best because it works a few different ways.. but i think this one shows the faces the best :)

in class drawing

..this model was super weird, she kept telling us stories while she was posing.. i donno if anyone reading this, if anyone reads this, does any kind of life drawing.. but personally, when the models starts talking to you is super weird most of the time! it's like.. dude really just sit there and be still please i'm trying to draw your lips right now and you wont stop talking to me about your cats...

Alaska

I went to Alaska at the end of the summer with my family. we did the whole cruise thing. it was amazing! anyone who is lucky enough to get the chance to go see Alaska I defiantly recommend it! is was beautiful and the weather was really nice! u'd think u'd need a parka on at all times as it is Alaska, but we had mostly all sunny days :)

going to see the glacier!!

this is my brother and my cousin, we went on this awesome hike to this lake when we where docked for the day and when we found the lake the boys decided to walk to the end of a huge log that had fallen into the lake

awesome bonding times :)

back!

I haven't posted in months.. so bad. BUT it is my goal to fully update and continue posting again :D cause lets be honest I want people to see my art and an online presence is necessary in todays very connected society. so I am going to try and post in chronological order but that might not always be easy.. ok ok I'm just gunna start posting now :)

more of my new stuff... wip

These photos have all been taken at the still in progress faze of these works. Since I've taken these the first and second works I've completed but haven't had a chance to take a finished photo so here's what I got... also a description of who these people are, if you don't know, to come when I take better pictures.

wip alfred nobel

i havent done any watercolour in wayyy too long so i've decided to start again! this is gunna look very different in the end but its a start :)

i miss you, blink

where are you and i'm so sorry
i cannot sleep i cannot dream tonight
i need somebody and always
this sick strange darkness
comes creeping on so haunting every time
and as i stared i counted
webs from all the spiders
catching things and eating their insides
like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
will you come home and stop this pain tonight
stop this pain tonight

snow

i miss the snow back home. it always feels more christmasy when its freezing cold outside. so cold all you want to do is stay inside and be as cozy as possible then look at the winer wonderland outside. white hot chocolate, slippers, christmas movies on tv one after the other :)

miss you.

well Sometimes I Think That You Hate Me
and Other Times I Think You That You Think I'm Endearing
well Sometimes I Just Don't Know You At All
even Though I'd Like To Think I Was A Bit Of A Know It All
sometimes I Just Can't Work You Out
even Though I'd Like To Know What You Were About

well Atleast I Don't Have All The Power In The World So I Just Can't Fuck Everything Else Up
