I'm getting back into painting with acrylic...and just drawing and painting in general. I'll be uploading some paintings and sketches soon. Here's something to look at until then.

Hippity hop, froggy frog!

A finished piece! It took me longer than I expected to complete this one. This picture is also taken with my camera.

Here's a sketch of my current project. Unfortunately, my scanner is unavailable right now, so this sketch is just taken with my camera.  

Please pardon our appearance at the moment..

I'm currently cleaning up and updating this blog. Little by little. I promise to start posting on a more regular basis and make this into a proper blog. This is just a quick update to get things started.

I thought it would be a good idea to post some photos that I took for my intermediate photo class. I just scanned some photos from a few of my projects. Hope you like them.

A big thank you to Sarah Upjohn for being my model!


We had to somehow create a different world for this project.

In 1598 Michel de Montaigne wrote:
 
"There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent."

"Unless you take big risks you are not going to learn a lot... the interesting things that happen in life involve precipices."
-Robert Storr, 11/19/10, Austin, TX

 
"Olive oil has been more than mere food to the peoples of the Mediterranean: it has been medicinal, magical, an endless source of fascination and wonder and the fountain of great wealth and power. The olive tree, symbol of abundance, glory and peace, gave its leafy branches to crown the victorious in friendly games and bloody war, and the oil of its fruit has anointed the noblest of heads throughout history."
