Small Piece with Colored Pencils

Painful Doodles

Ravaged by a migraine, I stayed up all night (yesterday), restless and bored. I doodled things that were around my bedroom--couldn't be anymore boring than that, haha.

And for something totally less lame:

Two Colored Seasons

They aren't completed yet but here are photos of two small pieces I started in May with colored pencils: 

And I got my wisdom teeth removed last Monday! It was interesting. As I sat on the seat ready for surgery that morning I have to admit I was nervous--the risks were small but it's hard to not fixate on those possibilities...surgeons could very easily mess with one of many important nerves running around the gums and could paralyze half the face! Ah well. Succumbing to twenty-first-century medicine isn't so bad. At least we have anesthetics and painkillers! The latter of which I've been struggling to not take but ultimately been losing that war. 

I looked like this all week:

Finished Work

I don't have a scanner so here's a photo of a painting I made yesterday:

I really wanted to paint something! So I browsed through artworks and such, and I chose to react to this:

Stumbling Away

I've been working on an illustration job (children's book) these past couple of days.

It's both exciting and overwhelmingly nerve-wracking!

Marker Musings

 

I have no access to a scanner so I had to take photos :(  

Some of the drawings are directly influenced by engravings from a book about the history of printmaking and the others are from a drawings session I had with my girlfriend and another friend! In 6-minute sessions we drew using a random word we agreed upon. I'm sure you can guess which drawings relate to the words log, joke, suspicious, and seal. Afterwards we drew portraits of each other. 

Little by little I'm feeling more comfortable using markers!

Finished Bunny

Finally completed it and gave it to my nephew!
