More blasts from the past


If I'm ever going to get caught up to this year (senior year, gulp!), I'm really going to have to have to post like crazy! Above is The Grave Robbers, watercolor, which won Best of Show for Illustration at the Juried Show of 2010. We were learning about animal illustration and how to paint fur realistically - can you say layers and layers of individual brushstrokes?


These two pieces are both done in pen and ink and completed in the Spring of 2010. Above is Jack Kevorkian, below is Ludwig Wittgenstein. They are a pair from one assignment: illustrate two famous people with their 'pets' that embody said person's personality or contribution to society. Wittgenstein was a famous philosopher from the first half of the 1900s, Kevorkian an assisted suicide advocate (and practitioner). Ludwig Wittgenstein won Best of Show for Drawing at the Juried Show of 2011.


It's a bit dark, so I'll try to find a better photo to upload of it. This last piece is done in acrylic and colored pencil, also from the spring of sophomore year (2010). The Last Green Thing sprung from an assignment titled "It's never too late to call Midnight in America!" and had to be of some sort of insect invasion. I experimented with thin layers of watery acrylic under colored pencil throughout, and was pleasantly satisfied with the result. I wonder if anyone will recognize the tractor?
