draw something awful

Moving on over.....

2009-10-12T10:40:00.000-07:00

So I will be retiring this site and moving on over to a more professional/upgraded blog.

So change your bookmarks (all....5 of you maybe?) and move on over to http://drawsomethingawful.com

I should update this one more frequently and thoroughly.

Show/Updated Judy Drawing

2009-10-04T19:52:00.000-07:00

So sometime in the near future I am consolidating/upgrading blogs and will be switching over to the-in-the-works drawsomethingawful.com. For now, I will still use this a bit, kind of.

Anyway I installed my first post-art school (mini) solo show. It's exciting. I'll post installation and better photos of the pieces of a bit. One piece I do ha

ve documentation of is a revised edition of an older Judy drawing. Part of me misses the older more raw version, but I felt I needed to tweak it a bit and push myself further. I am fairly pleased with it.

'But Marilyn...you knew all along'

As it has it is probably becoming evident through this blog, I'm doing a series focusing on Marilyn Monroe's image in pop culture and art. I started off working on a dialogue between the photos of the infamous "The Last Sitting" by Bert Stern...and it's expanding well beyond that. The body of work...is very much in the works. The progress and initial stages will be documented in this blog

Acrylic and polymer. 10/08

Start the Art

2008-10-20T13:28:00.000-07:00

So I'm actually going to entire the world of real-live blogging, well live in the removed-on-the-internetz-online sense. So hence the starting of this blog, which will mostly be updates on my work, and perhaps small ramblings.

Starting a blog for you work seems to be all the rage after graduating art school. Being that I've never been one for all of the rage, I've had this blog created but without posts for several months. Then I realized, 'o hai this might be helpful'.

The upcoming posts will mostly be related to my thesis work, which is focused on dealing with images of Old Hollywood figures post-mortem. Eventually I'll move on. Note by graduated art school, I meant almost-finished-my-degree-but-still-have-my-thesis-work-left-due-to-health-problems-and-then-done.

So if you're reading this , that's swell. This blog should get more interesting, because I hope my work will get better as I get my art limbs back after taking some time off from painting.
