This is a wire sculpture I did for homework in my 3D class. I have to make a series of five that share a consistent theme. The theme I chose this week is "Things one finds on a desk". This particular sculpture is a coffee cup with a tea bag in it. Next to it on the right is an open sugar packet with some spilt sugar. The actual sugar is made from wire as well.

This is a homework assignment I finished about three hours ago. I had to choose a drawing of Jean Antoine Watteau's collection, and copy it. I had to take his process into consideration by analyzing his marks, in an effort to recreate this drawing exactly as he completed the original. I used conté crayon to tone the paper, as well as to draw the figure.

This is a painting I did last year, in my AP Portfolio class. The assignment was to copy a masterwork. I chose "Maggie" by Chuck Close. I was naturally a little over ambitious when I chose this painting, but became one of my favorites in my portfolio. The original is one of his lesser known pieces, but I found it to be more approachable than his full sized portraits.

This is a project that was assigned to me in my 2D class. The official name of the project is "Construction of Meaning". It was pretty much based off of "Rhapsody" by I Can't Remember Who. It was constructed of 100 6"x6" squares, that explored the possibilities of different marks and media. A dictionary of such things would be a good way to describe the final result.

I chose pictures of 5 women, Agyness Deyn, Audrey Hepburn, Anna Karina, Marilyn Monroe, and Carla Bruni. How I came to the decision of using this subject matter is this: If all else fails, choose beautiful women. They never go out of style. Gay, straight, or otherwise, everybody loves beauty.

Alright. I gave in.

I figured I would start my own...blog. (I don't like that word) So this is basically just a way to keep track of the work I do throughout art school, provided that I stay in it. This is horribly cliché, and incredibly eye-rolling, I'm sure.

I recently had to complete a signature for a cumulative sketchbook for my 2D class. There were no restrictions on subject matter, medium, or anything else for that matter. I did drawings of my pets because I miss them terribly. There were three types of drawings in said signature; focusing on texture, form, and the line/space. Here is one of the spreads. These are two parakeets I once had, but, unfortunately, they have since flown away. I appologize for the shitty quality of the picture, I had to resort to my camera phone.
