Of Eggs, Faces, Chalk and Charcoal

So once again, I have neglected to post things on my blog. But I have been busy making tons of art!

Beautiful mushroom photography... 

This is 'Amniotic Egg II' from my series of eggs. This one depicts a simplified version of an embryo.

This is 'Amniotic Egg III'. I think this one is self explanatory. 

This is what I am currently working on; I think it is coming along well. 

Um. My brother and I were studying Picasso. 

I am testing out a different approach to charcoal drawing. I attempted using charcoal before and it turned out terribly. For that very reason it was never posted.  Instead of beginning with a unmarked piece of paper, I began by shading in the entire paper with the charcoal so it was completely black. I created my picture by erasing. I enjoyed that method a whole lot more.

Here is another drawing done by erasing. I know... her eyes are way out of proportion. But I kinda like it that way.

I don't know completely what I was thinking when I did this blue person, but it is pretty cool. My friend will probably want to tell you I modeled it after her. She was very good at sitting still. :) 

I am calling this one 'Rhythm No. 1'. Abstract is fun... I used chalk, charcoal, sharpie and water soluble pencils for this drawing

A cute chibi. I think it's a boy, but who can tell these days? 

Of Amniotic Eggs, Pony-bags, Aloe Plants and Cakes

I am working on a series of drawings featuring amniotic eggs. The rest are coming soon...

Amniotic Egg No.1

This drawing is baffling me. I keep messing up the face (not featured...)

I have re-dressed my mannequin.

This is a sketch I did at an art museum. It's Pigtails by Nelson Shanks. I like a lot of his art.

So, me being me, I saw this bag and had to get it. It is the perfect size for my huge sketchpads. I'm not a My Little Pony fan, but it's cute.

I kinda do like Hello Kitty though...

This was just funny. I make lists on the side of the fridge so I don't forget about food that's in there. My sister thinks it's hilarious to add her own stuff. The newest addition was stewed mothballs. 

Here are my beautiful aloe plants. My friends mom gave them to me to replace my other ones. Did you know it is essentially impossible to kill an aloe plant? I killed 3. Hopefully these will live longer.

I am trying this out as a curtain. My mom had an old flag and said I could use it.

I am also making a T-shirt quilt. I had so many extra ones I never wore and didn't know what to do with. I colored on the white ones. Like the one closest to you; it says, I love skulls my, head would be mush without them...

I just think it's weird how everyone thinks skulls are gross because you would be dead without one. Just saying. 

Here's a cake me and my friend made for my brother. Guess what it is and then I'll tell you.



 Okay, it's a guy with rice-crispy legs jumping into a pool.  Unfortunately, My dad thought it was a horse.
