Two Queens and Pirate

The pirate is a little painting in acrylic, and the two Queen Elizabeths were drawn while watching The Queen- Helen Mirren was awesome :D

Staten Island guys

wooo, art from wayback! Really old stuff I had scanned in- the portraits of my folks are from elementary school, as is the james & the giant peach fan art (before I even really knew who lane smith was!). The easter scratchboard is jr high I think, and the uh, 'homage', to manet is early high school. Its funny to see what's changed, and what hasn't, between what I did then and what I do now.

Harry potter and the deathly hallows

My one millionth ron weasley drawing, done in gouache after looking at some mary blair things.

Fish!

A few watercolour & ink studies of fish; I'm trying to experiment with papers- rougher textured, hot press vs cold press- to see what I like best. I'm also learning to knit, and finished the little purple dude this afternoon. The unibrow was the best part.

More stuff from italy!

Some more drawings from the sketchbook! The black ink ones were done in the signoria, a place that was everything you could hope in a drawing spot- seating, lots of tourists to surreptiously sketch, interesting statues to draw if the tourists were sparse, street musicians, and conveniently located gelato :D The mermaid and sailor were done on the placemats of the pizzeria across the street from our pensione.

Good Company

These are sketches of just some of the folks who were along on the trip- the lovely & extremely talented Vickie and Lizzie Savanella, who were crazy fun to live with (you should only see the drawings I can't put up here ;D), as well as meghan, lauren, arianna, melinda, marianne, kaitlyn and the always fun brendon-paolo-ricardo trio.

A day In the Life in Italy

These are just little journal comics about some of my adventures in Italy.

FIRENZE!

I just got back from florence yesterday, so here's my final project and a little sampling from the sketchbook I kept in italy- there's lots more to come!

William Low Personal Project Part the Second

These are the original rough sketches and finishes for my personal project in William Low's class- they were a fun excercise in character, expression, and season, and I think they came out pretty neat.

Some silly faces from the sketchbook

Final project and a doodle

More painting from the model

Yet another painting from life, done in about two hours in william low's class this morning; It's kinda fun playing with the warm and cool colours.
