FINALLY!

This has been a crazy break so far. I have finally almost re-locted.

COME visit me at my new ART STUDIO:

20 Jay Street
#214
Brooklyn, NY
11201

Its tiny and I am starting to make it look more pretty but I am so excited about having personal space and of course having work on display during open studio week at the DUMBO Brooklyn Arts Festival over the summer.

Things are starting to really happen!

*NEW* and Improved Thesis Pieces

Okay, so working hard is starting to pay off in little ways. I am feeling accomplished this week taking everything one little step at a time. Here are 3 COMPLETE thesis pieces. These are absolutely finished and ready to be archived. There are 4 more that need some tweaking and fixing but those will be poster before Friday next week for your viewing pleasure.


This one is about addiction to food and drink.


This one is about workaholics.


This one is about drugs.

Betty Broadbent Illustrations

So here are 3 drawings for my Drawing & Mixed Media class for my biography project. These are in progress so they appear to be slightly unfinished. I did the tattoo drawings in watercolor then scanned them. I then cut them out in photoshop and placed them over the images to create the feeling of Betty being tattooed. It was interesting trying to create a aesthetic difference between the tattoo drawings and the drawings of Betty. So here they are:

Betty Broadbent at the P.T. Barnum Circus

So for my drawing and mixed media class we had to do an illustrated biography of a person/thing. I chose to do a series of illustrations about Betty Broadbent who was one of the first women tattoo artists. She was also a sideshow act because her whole body was covered in tattoos. This is one of my in progress line drawings of Betty at the circus with a horse. There aren't any tattoos on her body yet because I am still trying to figure out how to work them into the images.

Descent

Everything right now is just in a constant downward spiral. Hopefully things will go in reverse soon.

Illustration Fridays

I am going to start submitting illustrations to Illustration Friday. It is a website that has a theme every friday and people illustrate the theme. Hopefully this will become a good way to get myself out there. Right now I have been busy finishing up my thesis pieces and I am proude to say I have minimal left to do. However, in mty other classes I need to do a substancial amount of work like finishing up my final toy and my 10 page biography for my mixed media class.

Aside from that, life has been rather chaotic and big changes might happen soon that I am not exactly excited or happy about but I will get through it. So I don't leave this post empty, I will post one initial line drawing from my 6th thesis piece about obsessions with food and drink.

Exhibit A: Flapper drinking absinthe


Thats all for now. I will post some drawings tomorrow from my biography book about Betty Broadbent one of the worlds first completelty tattooed women in the 1920s. Why am I so obsessed with the 20s?
