Begin Spring 2007

Uploaded photos of Time-Map project (here) and Dream/Nightmares collaboration (here). I still need to scan Slice of Life.

I did get into the Comp. Raster for Illustration majors class, which is exciting 'cause I wanna learn to paint in photoshop! So I dropped Japanese 102 and Fund. of Ceramics. Which is unfortunate because that means I will not complete the Japanese minor I was hoping for, and because the Ceramics teacher totally rocks.

I did not get any good sketchs done during break, but I'm optimistic about this semester.

Talk at ya later!

Dreams and Nightmares

was the collaboration I chose to undertake as my final project in my Drawing class.


I tore two large sheets of Rives BFK into organic shapes. I bathed these shapes in tea, and then handed them out to friends, family and classmates, asking them to draw something that reminded them of a fairytale, or a childhood dream, or a childhood fear. They were limited to using pencil or black pen.

As I got them back, I arranged the pieces into relationships with each other, stitching them together with red thread. I then worked into then with white acrylic paint and some very light ink washes.

My instructor and I were pleased with the result, and agreed that it is a project I could expand upon and continue.
