Midnight in Paris sketch/color study

Probably going to finish this by doing a watercolor "underpainting" and then coloring on top in photoshop. If you haven't seen Midnight in Paris, I would encourage you to do so. It's an extremely fun movie, especially if you're into art/literary history.

Homesick

Intaglio print messed around with in photoshop. Unfortunately I'm not very good at actually making a  print yet, and maybe some would consider photoshop cheating, but I guess I really don't care at all.

I miss Texas in very strange ways and for only very specific reasons.

*Edit*

I went back and edited the plate itself, and learned how to print, haha. I added some aquatint, and etched some lines a bit darker, and also decided to print in a red clay brown.

Lady Gaga

The first of several Lady Gaga drawings for my Lifestyle Illustration class. 

Not my final assignment, but I decided to digitally color this sketch I really liked.

Lonely Hearts

First assignment for my Junior Illustration 1 class. Create a dyptich depicting two characters derived from lonely hearts ads (sort of like last ditch efforts by people who are desperate to find somebody). Here are my two ads, first the woman then the man.

"Remember when all of this was open fields and you could go out and leave your door unlocked? Woman, 24. Inherited her mother's unreasonable and utterly unfounded nostalgia (and her father's hirsute* back). WLTM (Woman looking to marry) barber with fondness for sherbet dib-dabs and parma violets. Box no. 8486"

*A person with hirsutism grows hair in abundance in unusual places for their gender.

"Mignonette is the most beautiful word in the world and I'll deck anyone who says it isn't. Edgy yet playful poet (M, 38). Box no. 7975"

Steamboat Spaghetti Creepy Uncle Guy

First linoleum cut of the new year. My right hand was literally numb for a day and a half after finishing this. 

Teaism

Parasitic

I just can't stay away from drawing little detailed flowers.
