"Scales" and a triptic

For Scales. =3

I like showing it this way so that the map is the right way, but you can hold it any way you like. XD It's a triptic I was gonna do for the printing, but then colored and made its own thing. Done in colored pencil.

There is absolutly no reason for me to post this. But this is my dog Daisy, she may be retarded.

I'm posting these on behalf of Jen Yu.
And because looking at Daisy makes me laugh.

CerealKiller, The Birth Of Venus

literal word

Chuck Close Questions

(sorry this is so late. i just got back home.)

1. you have an abstract style of working. ergo, would you consider your work to be photo realism? or a seperate genre to photorealism?
2. of your own work, do favor one peice in particular?
3. of your friends or family, whom did you make your first portrait?
4. be my friend?

Two Things

Okay, I know this is fully two weeks late now, and I know I stole some elements from Kim, but this is a preview of my Peace Quest poster, please have mercy on me. Come on, it's my birthday!

It looks better in person. Also, for extra brownie points (Please forgive me, Oh Great Needles!) here is a preview of my ultra-kick-ass bookmark, which took me several straight hours to make, and totally from scratch, btw.

Juggle *~*

A is for ... < @_@ >

Regular ^_^

i come bearing late assignments

first is my "a is for".

in this case, a is for "are you kidding me?!" haha and his body is kind of bent in the shape of an a. i love street performers.
and now for my juggling assignment. i believe juggling involves a lot of balancing and keeping up what's being juggled.
you can definitely juggle yourself, when you're climbing and swinging yourself about, and that's my interpretation of it. =)


i definitely realized i enjoy photographing people in motion the most out of everything. getting good shots is so satisfying.

back from boston/salem

hey!!! sorry im posting now but i literrally came home and downloaded pictures from my camera!!! im completely in love with salem and boston was really nice too.
yeaa so im in boston and there happens to be this crazy guy juggling on top of this giant stand 8 ft. up in the air. and he juggled red balls.. and knifes. so i felt this was a sign from above that i didnt need to draw my hwk assignments this week!!! and you know knifes were more hxc than the classic red balls. soo !

yeaa and another a is for ARBOUR

and just one of my favorite pictures from the trip.. i got extremely bored during the 6 hour car ride home.. and these migrating birds caught my attention

Juggle

I felt like taking a break from my usual realistic drawings and go for something for design based with black and white (sharpies)

Juggle

A is for

Attitude ....

Juggle

A is for: alone/afraid

A is for.... + Juggle

Someone went on Youtube in Gessler's class 2nd period and looked up sharks jumping and attacking seals :3 They juggle with their teeth don'tcha know.

A is for Ambystoma tigrinum! They go 'rawr' and 'rofl' lots.

A is for...

"We saw the countess from the midst of the gloom. Small
and fragile-looking, she wielded a small dagger, its
blade red from the blood of her prey. I couldn't move -
to think she would turn on us like that!
I looked at Lucius, his face pale in fright of the
monster approaching us with death in her eyes. As
her wavy locks of black hair bounced and curled over
her now pointed, bat ears, I knew my young companion's
thoughts. She had been Lady Truman and he still loved
her as if her canines hadn't elongated into the
pointed daggers they were now.
"Can't be..." he murmured, still in awe as her
small feet graced the mansion tile floor. Her eyes shone
an icy blue and her dark, dead lips curled into a devilish
grin I will never forget. It's for that one night I don't
trust those that call themselves an... ARISTOCRAT. "

Just in case anyone wanted to know what it says behind her - yes, I wrote it, I didn't take it from anywhere. *is now thinking of writing a story with this vamp* Anyway, it's an aristocratic vampire...that's what A is for! >o<

'A' is for...

Aaron Gillespie of the Almost!
I saw this band at the Crazy Donkey a few days before school started.

"A" is for...

Apathy!
Okay, so I took too long on the face and had to rush the background, which came out like crap, and didn't even get around to the window scene, so i stole it from Google. But this is only because I DON'T CARE (Get it? Apathy! Come on people, this is comic gold!

A is for... Addiction

a is forr...

APPLEEE


AHAH and umm aerosmith!! was amazing so i figured it started with an a i should put it up there. even though my seats prevented me from getting a really good picture =/

What Is "Regular?"

I had some difficulty trying to figure out what it was I was going to do for this assignment so I started thinking about what makes me "regular." I then decided what makes everyone else "regular" in that we're the same... I realized then that there is no such thing as a universal "regular" or normal for anybody, that what one person views as regular/normal, might be new and different to someone else. So I decided to go with two opposite ideas of what might be regular for different individuals.

(anti)Regular

I didnt really know what i was going to do for this assignment, so i starting thinking of what make me "regular." A bed to sleep in, comfortable living, so then i decided to do my anti regularr. Someone who has to worry from meal to meal and where to sleep at night:

This Poor Sap's Regular Day

As the title suggests. o.o

Transform

If Kim can pull off markers, than I declare that so can I!I knew someone else would think of transformers (thank you, Jess), so I took the slightly less obvious route: THE POWER RANGERS MEGAZORD!!!

Transform

Transform(ation)

Yeah...it's not late. It's fashionably late.

And it's a dragon 'transforming into magma' or the other way around.

transform

Sorry, I didn't post on date.

Transform

A little late but here it is.

I transformed the front left wheel of my car from normal and functioning to broken and totally screwed up. Yeah....
