Just for funsies

Here's how my brain functions when it's 5am and I have ideas but don't really want to sketch them out.

My friday nights are pretty sweet


Remember this? Yeah yeah yeah! Just an in progress scan. It's kinda fun to do details until the wood chips and then you feel like dying a little inside.
I'm pretty sure there's a neater/cleaner way of carving away things. My block looks like a murder victim.
Yay laundry time!

Sometimes I do things

Some semi-personal stuff. These are for my independent study with this guy. It was a really nice surprise to see a variety of the work he's done. Google image produced only one image that he may or may not have done. One of the reasons why I wanted to do an independent study with him was because I knew he loved surrealistic imagery from the few pieces that he's brought in to show us. I think I'm starting to rant. ok.

Society of Illustrators

So I got into the  Society of Illustrators student scholarship competition show(<-click it). My professor called me at 9:30 am to personally congratulate me but I was asleep and my phone was on silent, so he texted me to call him back. I got up an hour later and saw it and got suuuuuuuuuuuuper nervous and didn't call him back till much later when my friend was screaming at me about how stupid I was being. The whole conversation is kind of a blur to me right  now and I don't think I heard half the things he said, mostly it was me just going hrurughfhghgghfhfgh whuuut?

Yeah I'm kinda sorta super articulate.


.....
yeah...
Check out the other entries they're suuuuuuuuuuuper beautiful. I spent a long time screaming at how awesome some of the pieces are. It's obvious I still have a lot of work to do. Feel super overwhelmed. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ok.
I'm probably going to shit my pants at the show.
just saying.

alrighty.
this is the piece I got in.

I'm so so so so so so so so so so scared.
I'm still super nervous

I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION THAT FELLOW MASSARTIAN(?) CALEB OLSON ALSO GOT IN
YAAAAY

Hmmm

can't decide if I like this or not.. the transition from the branches to roots seems kind of awkward.
slightly different.. more tree trunkish? it's still kind of awkward

Happy Chinese New Year!

This is kind of a stretch I guess, but there's a rabbit like creature in it? So it kind of counts.. right?
face your fears
I'm trying to make this into a lino cut but I don't think it's going to work out cause it's tiny. Trying to figure out hand printing cause I don't have print studio access. Yay!

Gotta stay away from the green. I think there are way too many shades and way too many things going on.
