Thanksgiving Doodles

2011-11-24T13:02:00.000-08:00

I went to CTN last weekend, met a lot of cool and inspirational people, and listened to some of them give talks. The golden nugget of inspiration that stuck with me was an interview of Carlos Nine - he pulled out a folio filled with mindless doodles, most of which he had created while on the phone. He described these doodles as representative of his identity as an artist, the dictionary of the language in which he worked.

I'm learning so much this semester, and struggling with my identity as artist. Nine described himself as a worker who creates images. I have to leave to catch a bus now.

Procrastination

2010-12-15T22:50:00.000-08:00

Its not so bad if you procrastinate on a project by painting right...

I got a bunch of photoshop brushes from a friend and I wanted to try 'em out.

Look at this blast from the past! My pal Amelia dug it up from the depths of the annals of time. Sowry for the poor quality photo, but now you know what I was doing in high school... y'know besides underage drinking and premarital sex. < (dear potential future employers, I am joking)

this is the beast of a project, my black and white rendering. It's getting there, I'm going to work on it more over break. People say grades aren't important, its what you learn. This is a concept that I am grappling with, that grade is still quite important to me.

You know what goes in my ear right now, in the midst of these beautiful spring days? Old timey raggae, in particular Desmond Dekker and Clancy Eccles. I recommend checkin' them out if you're so inclined.

Oh me, oh my

Putting together my portfolio now, both the color grid and b&w rendering are done! We're doing color comps over the break which just seems fun - "easy, breezy, beautiful - get it gurl"

Here is some more sketchbook work and a figure drawing that I've dug up from the depths of my art locker!

there are times in class when I am simultaneously falling asleep and struggling to take notes. The result is pure comedy for a Future Bridget. But enough chatting, time to paint more of my color grid! Gotta power through! Warrior poet!

Instead of sleeping an hour ago, I ate curly fries and painted this. My model kept friggin' moving, so I had to make some stuff up - it shows.

Spring 2010

omg oh em gee, could it really be... that I've made another post?

Arts are in full swing here at San Jose State, I'm painting my patootie off every dang night. I'm learning a lot, both from class and just connecting the dots on why we did the things we did in foundations classes, you would think I'd have learned that during the classes...but alas it was not so.

I spent the last 8 hours painting swatches, and at the end I rewarded myself with a 20 minute painting study of a slumbering classmate on the table next to mine. It was a great way to apply everything I've learned, and experiment with color.

I imagine more of these will come, its great practice and a welcome break from endless color swatches

Enough talking!
