Sketch update 09-29-10

Finally got the chance to do some figure drawing.
Hopefully I'll get around to doing some painting in the coming weeks.
I made a design for some shirts, bandannas, and stickers. The label would be called "Ride Local", meant to express respect for local skaters, boards, skiers, surfers, etc. I really like the idea so I think I'm gonna role with it.

BOMB IT

I sat down and watched a pretty awesome documentary on graffiti artist around the world called "Bomb It". I liked it a lot but it made me realize something... no matter how much I look up to street artist, I will never be one. I have some personal views on the problems in society but I don't have the balls to be in danger of getting arrested for tagging or putting up art on public walls. I'm one of those people who wants to take the graffiti style and put it on canvas. I'm something that graffiti artist despise. Fantasies to paint the sides of buildings are merely that, fantasies. Something I want to work on is to find a way to show my respect for street artist and stay away from becoming that which they hate. I'll stick with my canvas and paper, showing the world that graffiti is a revolution in the art world, in the world in general.

So to all you bombers out there, keep at it, and don't forget to realize the effect your work has on artists who don't have the balls to pay the price of jail time for art. I'll live vicariously through your can and your wheat paste.

sketch update

Finally got some time to update with some new sketches.

ps- still no camera

t

To make up for the lack of drawings being posted by myself, here are a few sculpture pieces I did last semester. The skull piece is entilted "dethroned" and was entered into a juried student exhibition at Gettysburg college. It was also awarded with a spot in the Mercury magazine.

well look it's almost april...

It's been forever sense I've been on here. It is rather difficult to post anything these days considering I still have no camera and wont be able to get one for while. I guess the real reason why I haven't made an effort to post anything though is the fact that I am pledging Sigma Nu fraternity. It's a lot of work but I'm seeing the benefits already.

To banter for a little while; I felt as if I were in some sort of comic book the other day when I read the news that a group known as the "Black Widows" were responsible for the subway bombings in Moscow. The name of the organization just seems like it should be out fighting the "RED legion" in a war filled with laser vision and atomic punches. The name does make sense, considering the background of the organization, but my mind couldn't help wonder into a landscape of turning pages and speech bubbles.

To close up, I have been falling behind on sketches but I've got a couple of things I'm working on that I'm looking forward to constructing.

God Bless the citizens of this world.

no camera

So over the holiday I decided to take my camera skiing with me to film some friends... I did some filming but managed to loose said camera on the slopes. With that said I'm gonna be looking for a camera to borrow while I'm at school until then I wont be able to post anything unless I decide to use my scanner... which won't happen.

01/04/10

I got a hold of a product (RED) moleskine sketchbook and a moelskine water sketchbook. I'm pretty excited to fill the pages.

Hope your holidays were enjoyable.

peace.
