A Transitional Period

Where did I go?! The Pratt show, Graduation, moving out, moving in (just got my internet a few days ago). I now live in uptown Manhattan. School was like a blow to my stomach, it knocked the wind out of me. But, OH the freedom. I've been filling up little sketch books with very lose work and writing. I feel re energized now and ready to start my projects (working on a few children's books and graphic novel and blah blah galleries, tons of stuff. Its too much of a headache to explain right now.)

So I did this very cliche oil painting. Pretty heads painted on wood? Very Audrey Kawasak (and I see tons of people emulating her). I mostly draw heads in my sketch book with brush pens because of size and freedom and this came out of a doodle I did. I don't think I meant it to look this Audrey-ish, but I guess she inspires me. The purpose of this piece is to be decorative wall art because I just bought tons of paisily blue stuff for my place. Also one of the gallery shows we are to have a piece on wood panel and this is a little practice. I think I'll keep it out of my portfolilo.

I'd LOVE to do my finished pieces this way but its oil and a ton of other stuff and it takes days to dry inbetween. I think I'll keep going with my oils on the side for my Gallery work and personal stuff. Maybe for the covers of the children's books I'm doing now. Hmmm...
