gee

my latest pencil piece which i am sooo happy with.

i also want to talk about etsy. i had some art on there a while ago and im now trying again. art school means moving out and needing money i dont have, so if i could make some of art that would be great. im planning on selling prints as well as originals. all kinds of art since i like to play around with lots of different media. i think ill make the gerard way pic a print so if your a mcr fan... then... buy it...

photos to prove im not dead

masquerade, paper faces on parade, masquerade hide your face so the world will never find you ill try to have the finished piece up soon btw i do not own those lyrics. i guess andrew loyd webber does...

my hand is deeeaaad!

my hand died thanks to my recent pen and ink obsession. but i guess it was worth it since im pretty happy with all these pieces.

sketchbook post

so here's the explanation: my bro kyle lost a tooth to a corndog, how anybody does that i don't know. but anyway it fell out and he bit down on his tooth, he said, "I thought it was a seed, but then I was like wait- corndogs don't have seeds!" and basically a story like that deserves an illustration with it.

art institute

So its really happening, tomarrow I got to visit the Art Institute of York. I filled out my application, wrote my essay and I'm going to an open house. And I'm actually excited. So yeah, we shall see...

labyrinth art

as i promised. im pretty happy with the way these two turned out...

nostalgic and inspired

expect some upcoming labyrinth pieces because i was just reflecting on how much i love that movie. i mean, any film that can be appreciated from childhood into adulthood is obviously great. plus its david freakin bowie whats not to like i ask? and the imagery is just great, major art inspiration for me.

sylvia ji

this is one of my favorite artists:

her subjects are amazing, i love the sugar skulls. her use of space is incredible too, the way she uses hair and feathers and things as one solid shape. the patterns and colors are great too. theres alot of things i like about her basically. take it in people, take it in.

i do not own these pics, find more here:

diamond eyes

im on the front line
dont worry i'll be fine
the story is just beginning
i say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regret
and now i see the world through diamond eyes

inspired by shinedown's diamond eyes. its a combination of pen, marker and watercolor on bristol board. unfortunently it didn't scan so well, probably because of where the paper buckles from being wet. oh well, it was just a quick piece. i wanted to try a different technique for hair and im pretty happy with the way that turned out.

looking ahead

my past is behind me...

basically...

my mind is blown.
"love russia love music", '09 "male model", '08
this art belongs to Keira Rathbone and she is a typewriter artist. using a vintage typewriter she creates complex portraits, still life and nature pieces made up of numbers, letters, periods, commas stuff like that. needless to say its amazing. i can't even imagine how she goes about this honestly, from an artist's pov. my mind will never be able to wrap around it but man does it look cool.
get on her website... now: http://www.keirarathbone.com/index.html

emotion is becoming my best tool

explaining them would take along time. but i'm pretty happy with myself for not planning things so much and just letting the piece grow on its own as i worked. not to mention that they're two of the best watercolor pics i've done in a while. i'd also like to add that the second one has two different eyes on purpose. that was not a mistake but when i stepped back and took a look at it i though it looked like one.
