.. a Registered Voter.

Registered to vote yesterday, which sort of goes along with the project I just finished for my Drawing I class. It is a collage-turned-sketch of the Clintons, Obama, and Obama-vator. It wasn't really supposed to be a political piece, but it turned out that way!

PS: I know I screwed up Obama's face.

... A Newly Discovered Graphic Design Major.


These are the tools of my trade. I have recently upgraded to the Fiber Castel "Shades of Grey" markers much like the ones shown above. The notebook on top is a hand made moleskine my art director in high school taught me how to make. The second and third notebooks are just regular sketch pads I use. It's kind of discouraging that there aren't any followers to this blog, but I'll keep trying!

... on Autopilot.

So I've been drawing this hand a lot lately. I think it's challenging, but I need something new. I guess it's time to find a new object from the still life's we draw in my Drawing I class. Things have been going pretty well! (It's been a while since I updated on my life haha) Get to help my high school drumline tonight... and see my girlfriend! Yay!

Later.

... In College

So I'm trying to figure out why it showed up sideways.... Anyways, this is a still-life I drew in my Drawing I class. This was actually my first time to legitimately use charcoal. I think it turned out pretty well!

... Those in Glass Houses

This is a simple project I did for my Design one class.

... done with English Comp. homework!!

I really don't know if this would be considered a self portrait, but I do like it! Gotta love Facebook. I've been doing A LOT more art lately. It's great! Aside from my English homework, I've had plenty of free time! Thanks guys.

... pissed.


I don't know if the pictures I uploaded will show up, but I'm going to type anyways. My pants on my uniform for marching band are WAY too big. Oh well, my trusty grandma is going to help me sew them up tomorrow! I'll check in later.

... a broke college kid.

This is my "booth" at the local art show. Simple, I know, but it worked! This got me a scholarship! I've been having a great weekend so far! My high school football team won Friday night, and Saturday night I chilled with my parents. Ahh I love weekends!

Design Class

This is a study drawn in my Design I class. It's just a simple contour drawing for a project we are starting. I just wanted to add a simple background for some flare. I haven't been posting much simply because I haven't had time! I'm now a college student, so I think it might get worse... I'll post as much as I can!

How Ronald Reagan Got His Groove Back

This is my latest project on my Wacom tablet. It is a '69 Camaro Z/28 that I am recreating in Corel Painter. Found the pic online. In other news, my car is finally getting tuned and vacation is arriving in less than a week!

Bad Company

Update on my Koi fish tattoo. This is a more refined sketch. It's definitely more of what I want than the other. Workin tonight, but it's all good, cause I've had all week off!

Waitin' On the World to Change

Startin to plan out my tattoo. I'm wanting a koi fish (as you can see). I'm not sure whether I want color or not yet... oh well. First week out of school and I've already remembered how boring it can be. Graduation in a few days though! Sweet!

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong

Worked this out on a graffiti generator found in Art class the other day. Fun stuff! I'd like to try it for real.. with spray paint that is... but I'm not 18... WTF MISSISSIPPI! Oh well... Gumtree is a real thorn in my side right now but I'm sure it'll be worth it if I get anything out of this. Speaking of Gumtree, my art teacher was lookin through my portfolio and gave me some great compliments. I was on top of the world! He is prolly the best art teacher around here. Thanks Mr. T! Back to work...

How the Weak Decay

The weak decay when they don't get what they want. Kinda what happened today, but I'll get over it. I'm proud of it and that's what matters! Need to sketch more... I'm falling WAY behind. Just look at the difference between this year and last year. I'll work it out...

Work Work Work

Nine hours tonight, seven hours tomorrow... Soooooo ready for my other job to come around! Oh well. Happy Easter to all!

Don't Excuse Yourself from Life Today.


Even on a rainy day like today. Finally got a time to audition for the ICC band today, which is one less thing I have to worry about. I did work a 9 hour shift today and another 7 hour shift tomorrow... I thought this was supposed to be a part-time job? Oh well..

A Day In The Life


Had a short practice for the Battle of the Bands that is taking place on Monday tonight. It went pretty great! Then hung out with some friends and my girlfriend for the rest of the night! Also, found out what 120 in the middle of town feels like.... probably will not do that again for a while. Hmm... don't tell my parents. Now time for sleep...

All I'm after is a life full of laughter.

Good friends make that life happen. Long day today, but I thought I would make a blog thing. So here it is. I will post artwork and pictures related to things in my life. The calculators refer to pre-cal... i drew them for my friends and me.
