Danny Devito

So this is the first project we did in John Larison's Conceptual maquette class...

Some sketches

Here we have some random sketches:




Preliminary Hansel drawing for my Baba Yaga story, he looks nothing like the final concept:


beginnings of a turnaround for my self-superhero maquette:


Some faces:


All my time and energy is going into my maquette right now and I've been neglecting my Baba Yaga story... I do have some finished work from that but I think I'll show you all that once I've got a bit more.

I have some in process photos of my maquette that I'll post soon too.

Lack of posting

Hey Art blog,

I haven't posted in a hot minute so I thought I'd remedy that and post some stuff I've been working on. I would post my maquette BUT mr. JOHN LARISON has yet to give it back to me.

I've really got to get moving on my other classes because I'm definitely behind on my concept book for self-publishing.

Here are two poster ideas/covers:

I like this one the best and so does my teacher.



This was my original idea but I don't really like the amount of blank space. I thought about doing the silouette on top and another image on the bottom but I'm super pressed for time so that's not gonna happen.





I'll post more from this story soon.... but not today. I need to get these shits printed and meet up with Mr. Larison to discuss my maquette.

Dr Sketchy's naked cowgirl

So since I didn't make it to Sketch Club on friday I decided to pay the 7 bucks and hop on down to Dr. Sketchy's, the Savannah Chapter: http://www.drsketchysavannah.com/sept_09 with some friends of mine.

We ended up drinkin' and drawin' for a few hours:






I'm currently working on my Danny Devito sculpt, which is proving to need a lot more time than I've been able to give it.

I'm also working on some concept designs for my hansel and gretel story.

I'm trying to do some mask stuff for Garrett's play, which should be super fun because I freaking love mask stuff. I'm excited...

Finally!

Hey there Journal, So I've started a new quarter at the SCAD, which means a lot of work and a lot of things to do... I'm starting to get into the flow of sketching for myself again (which will be helped along by Sketch Club on FRIDAY! YES!)





Not a lot, but there will be more.

There are some real world things that I need to be working on right now, one of those is the fact that I need to not think about the past, dwell in the past and beat myself up because I didn't do something because that's one of the biggest hindrances in terms of living in the moment and realizing that this moment is all there is. I can choose to be unhappy in this moment, I can choose to be angry in this moment, or I could choose to be happy. I want to be happy so I need to choose that instead of thinking about all the things that are possibly making me unhappy.

Doing things with people who I care about makes me happy.

Alrighty, down to business

I'm thinking about changing this from an art blog to a blog with art in it, because I like writing about the trivialities of my life far too much. The reasons I see people beginning new blogs are usually the following:

- They move to a new place
- They decide they need a fresh start
- They want to document their progress be it art, cooking, crafting, vacations etc

For me, it's a new beginning and a new ending.
I'm starting to think that I need a more 'mature' location for my rantings and my art. I also feel that if I had a set deadline I would produce more art.... I'm starting school up again in a matter of weeks and I'd really like to do well my senior year of SCAD. I'm setting a goal of finished pages to be posted here at the beginning of the first week and every week after that I will post a similar amount.

In writing about my life... This shit will probably be from general observations about life, people and my current location, to what I feel like cooking for dinner. In fact it might very well be what I'm cooking for dinner because I like cooking. I suppose this is for posterity in the way that I anticipate re-reading this stuff at some point to remind myself where I've been.

Here are some facts about myself that I find relevant:


I turned 22 a few weeks ago. I currently attend the Savannah College of Art and Design for Sequential Art. I have dreamt of getting a job as a storyboard artist, a maquette maker, a concept designer for film/animation/video games. I want, like everyone I know, to travel after college. The places I want to go at the current moment: The Philippines, India, Thailand, back to the Peruvian Amazon, Cambodia, China, Australia, Russia, Denmark, Amsterdam, Spain, Portugal. I have about a year left in school but I wish i was going to be done sooner. I dont have a lot of friends, or rather, I like to keep the best ones and let the others do as they will. My longest kept best friends are Caitlin and Rayla:

Other people who are incredibly important in my life are my un-boyfriend and best friend Blair, who will always be a part of who I was and who I am today,
Maria and Lily, the most wonderful friends I've made in college


and Sydney, the best room mate and best friend I've had.

I currently live in two places, my boyfriend Garrett's house and the place I pay rent.
Garrett is a wonderfully independent, funny, clever and beautiful soul that I love, and I hope we will remain in each others lives in one way or another for a long time. Oh and here is his kitty; Odin
I am working on life, I am working on being happy, I am working on communicating, and I think I'll be alright.

First Post Fanaticism

So friends... this will be my art blog, filled with SCAD art, non-SCAD art and anything else I feel is pertinent to my arty life.
