For my 30 Drawings in 30 Days, I have chosen watercolor as a medium. I had no clue what to do with just one color. Risking making the piece commercial, I watercolored an eye. I didn`t want to look at anyone`s eye. Just an eye. I wanted to do something beautiful. I love eyelashes, legs and eyes. ...

30 Drawings in 30 Days Challenge Starts November 1st.

October 28, 2012

I have been playing with this idea for a while. I wanted the equivalent of NaNoWriMo for art. I think to be able to write a whole novel in 30 days is pretty amazing. However, to produce artwork, under pressure, that has commercial appeal is not conducive of good art. Though 30 in 30 has been ...

The Thrill of Making Art

October 26, 2012

Process and Skill is a class I am taking at Parsons. At first thought, this felt like a crafter class. Why, in an age where technology rules, should I have to do anything that gets my fingers sticky, cuts paper and creates confetti in my carpet? Because it`s fun. It develops your thinking, fine ...

Du Paris is a sweet little dingbat font with 45 different dings for you to adorn everything from scrapbooks to little cards. After creating a small grouping of little drawings I decided to put them in a dingbat font. What do you think? Purchase it here ...

Parisian Flair

October 9, 2012

After the major purging of old clutter, I found a brand new Arches French paper watercolor notebook. I found a couple of pictures of Parisian light posts and chandeliers that inspired me to sketch on my found paper. I also sketched some imagined things like little presents and a little ...

25 Tints and Shades of Red

October 4, 2012

Another color assignment from my awesome class. The picture is not really doing it justice but there is 25 shades and tints of two reds. This was very hard yet fun! You may want to try it!

Perceptual Color Wheel

September 13, 2012

Just loved this assignment. We were supposed to use Color-Aid swatches to make our color wheel-a tool we are expected to be used through out the next 12 weeks. Because my Color-Aid hasn`t arrived, our professor allowed us to create a color wheel with the things we have around the house. I was ...

Lady Gaga

August 31, 2012

I know that she got photoshopped, but the pose is pretty awesome. I do not think that I would want my pictures be to photoshopped that degree. For those with an untrained eye, this is a very short woman who has had her body transplanted to that of a Rupaul-esque figured woman. Between the ...

Yummy Little Chair

August 28, 2012

Kids are off to school and once again, I find myself creating at my leisure. A luxury that is hard to come by for me. I am super happy after having been accepted to Parsons and enjoying a few days off until everything gets transferred. I have been using Photoshop CS6 and the quality is amazing. ...
