After the Fall Quarter

Just finished my first quarter at SCAD
I've finally had time to have some new work
I went to a Sara Bareilles concert a little bit ago and I had a drawing, unfortunately she didn't sign it. But now she has one of my drawings and one of the performers: Holly Conlan was kind enough to sign the image for me.

New art for summer

I'm trying to take this opportunity to use different mix of mediums. I've been cranking out the hardboard...man that stuff is my GOLD
Lately I've had a few commissions and trades, which has me excited. I need more though to help pay off tuition (I'd rather get paid doing more art stuff)
Here is some stuff that I have been cranking out, and would love to sell. Also, my Etsy shop is here:

Dress and such

This is the dress I altered.
Model is Meghan
Maggie took these photos.

And By the way, the faces are hand painted, not stenciled

SNC FA Student show

Tonight was the night of Sierra Nevada College's student exhibit juried show, trashion show and lecture by Chris Bauder
he has awesome work by the way, and the most fantastic mustache I have ever seen.
I felt so lucky, because one of the two pieces I made, was done the day of, an hour before the deadline. Many of the submissions were not accepted, and I felt so lucky that both of mine were accepted.
And then the piece that I did an hour before won 2nd best in show....oh my lord.....there was no way I saw that one coming. Got a cash prize (woohoo!) and a free workshop this summer (I get to take one from my favorite teacher). Also I had an offer and sold it to a friend of mine.
Also got a marketing suggestion to the dress I made for the Trashion show (fashion made out of secondhand/recycled materials).
woot woot!
It was a good night.
oh, and a quick drawing of Amy Lee (I messed up the eyeball)

Printmaking project

So this is my image for my printmaking project. hopefully it will turn out ok XD

I'm ready for finals to start so I can be done and have summer

Stuff and stress

So I was kind of stuck today with working on a bunch of different types of projects, one for the Trashion Show, the Student Art Exhibit, one for my Drawing class and Print Making. Oh geez.
The good thing I guess is that I am starting to like my dress, and am now almost finished with my student art piece (thank goodness).
Some more pieces to make this entry look more interesting:

Recent stuff

So for a class, I discovered that I have to design clothing out of already owned, found and recycled materials. This is hard since I mostly work 2-d rather than 3-d.
I'm putting these concept sketches up to illustrate what's going to be on the dress:
