Watercolors and Drawings

Here are some drawings and watercolors I did last semester. I had them lying around so I figured I should document a bit. For this first one, we had to cut a bunch of pictures out of magazines, make a collage, and then copy it exactly using watercolor:



This watercolor was supposed to be either a dreamscape or a nightmarescape...

Detail, woo!

This one's actually huge, although it's hard to tell here:



And this one's just a generic scary scientist with disturbing specimens, I suppose...



I'm currently working on my first multi-block woodcut print, based on the song "These Are Our Children" by I Monster. I'm done carving the first block (out of four) and should be done with block two today and have layer one printed tomorrow. Should be delightfully creepy!

Cardboard Paintings

Cardboard paintings! The thing I love about cardboard is it's free, it's everywhere, it's semi sturdy, and it's super fun to paint on. Here are some of my cardboard creations:

This one's a collage; I live in Athens, GA, and there are always lots of band posters lying around. It's kind of like a scavenger hunt to go around and find cool band posters (ones the show has already passed for, of course...) and then make a collage with those images as well as paint and whatever else you have lying around.

Here are a couple that were on my dorm room door last year. After a long, spiritually enlightening Bowie binge, I did the "David Bowie in heaven" one, and it was decided that if I was going to have a heavenly Bowie, I needed a devilish Sid Vicious to be his counterpart:




Maybe at some point I'll upload some more...but everybody should get out there, find some cardboard, and get going!
