Matt’s Choice

Every night my husband tells me “make more art that you are proud of”. I find as an artist I am the cliché, never completely happy with my own work. Always wanting it to be better, too close to the situation to see the continuity. This is not to say I don’t believe in myContinue reading “Matt’s Choice”

Matt’s Choice and Wednesday Animal

Yesterday I let myself be sucked into a new piece. It is part of my decision to move forward with making a new portfolio of dimensional work. It is a large undertaking which, is going to require a lot of time and energy. It will probably be a side B to my portfolio. However, thisContinue reading “Matt’s Choice and Wednesday Animal”

Another Rebecca’s Choice

This past weekend my Step Mom and Dad came up for a visit. We always lay low, watching favorite TV, eating the local food, and simply chit chatting. This visit was much the same but, had one wonderful addition. I shared sculpey with Rebecca and she became hooked. Needing to acquire supplies for her, ourContinue reading “Another Rebecca’s Choice”

The Pacific

Lately there has been a focus on the Pacific in the world and at my home. The weekend the Quake and Tsunami hit Japan, Matt and I were listening to the Life of Pi on our drive to Rochester. This was my second time listening to it and I was taken away again. The LifeContinue reading “The Pacific”

We Deliver Unto You, The Ultimate Bassline

This is a rough color comp but there are things about it that I really like. Sometimes it is really good to draw fast and rough it helps you break bad habits and go in directions you maybe would not have tried given time. I also enjoy doing a color comp in Photoshop before IContinue reading “We Deliver Unto You, The Ultimate Bassline”

Moose Under Water

I know this is not at all what Matt was imagining when he gave me the prompt Moose Under Water but, it is what came to me today. I am going to revisit this for sure and make it more goofy. Last night as I went to sleep I was rehearsing what I would sayContinue reading “Moose Under Water”

Finished Sketchbook Project

Fearing that I would not have time to get to the post office on Saturday due to my son’s second birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCIEN!), I wrapped up my sketchbook Thursday night and shipped it Friday. A few hours later I got the email about the extension. . . doh! I am happy to all whoContinue reading “Finished Sketchbook Project”

Wild Man

Up! A bit higher A little higher And very high! These are Matt’s heros, Parkour. I am sure most of you have seen this style of stunts at least once in the James Bond film with Daniel Craig, Casino Royale. Like them he takes all necessary precautions before performing any of these stunts, they areContinue reading “Wild Man”
