National Day of Prayer

Tweet

May 3rd is the National Day of Prayer!

Everyday we should be examining our prayer life (not just on one day).  Prayer, in case you didn't know, is daily conversation with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.  Prayer is our connection to a relationship with Him.  Pray hardest when it is hardest to pray!

Had to sketch a lil somethin' somethin' to express my love for being able to communicate with God.  Talk to Him OUT LOUD...He listens.

Pray it away fam!

One love.

Haven't posted anything in a good lil minute. 

Right now I'm in Coffee Bean finishing up some design work.

(My fingers hurt.  Don't tell anyone.) 

I sketched this in my little black book as a way to relieve my artist's block. 

It helped.

Guess who! 

Ugly Girls in Ugly Sweaters

Tweet Sooo...every year me and my girls from high school throw a Christmas Party! This year was our 3rd Annual one and the theme was UGLY Christmas Sweaters! How cool, right?! I know...I know. We're cool. Anywaaaay, we all contributed in making this party nothing but memorable, from the food to the decorations to the games to the PEOPLE! :) As a gift to the girls (and our party guests) I decided to design a Christmas card! Take a look at it and let me know what you think. These girls are the bomb and I love them. The love has been here since high school. Awww I LOVE YOU LADIES!!! Thanks! The party was a SUCCESS! 'Til next year!

FINAL VERSION!

Look what I found! About a month ago, I hung out with an old friend of mine. I ended up doodling the drawing on the left on a random piece of paper that I found, just because. My friend, being the competitive man he is, was like, "Maaan...that ain't nothin'. I could do that." He then sketched the doodle you see on the right. I was like, "Dude. What the heck is that?" He tried to say somethin' like it's a villain or somethin'...idk. He's a weirdo. Ha!

The other day, I was given super powers. In addition to saving little old ladies from burning buildings and flying in the night sky under a full moon with my cape, I drew this.

Some of my most recent doodles of people sitting at Starbucks, commuting on the Orange Line during the Los Angeles 405-freeway shut down (aka: Carmageddon), my best friend as a career woman in her brand new registered nurse cap, and a couple of other randoms.

I call this: Don't Kiss Me "Goodbye." Kiss Me "See You Soon."

This is for anyone who has had to unexpectedly let go of someone they care about.

Here is poster #2 of my summer series. It's called "I'M BEAMIN'." This is a pen sketch I did of myself while on a looong car ride. Hope ya liiiiiikes.

I know I've been laggin' on the posts, but that's because my summer has been the most AWESOME of AWESOMES and I haven't really had a chance to sit down and update. I've been OUT! (Poster #3 comin' soon.)

A friend of mine had a Facebook picture up and his features just captured me and I HAD TO draw him. :) I don't usually draw men so I thought this would be nice practice. I go to school with this guy and he's also an amazing artist! Everyone, meet Alex.

Here's my first summer-inspired poster! The name of this is KICK BACK COOL OFF. I'm thinkin' I'm going to make a series of these. This actually started out as a sketch I did of me crossin' my legs wearin' my lovely chucks. If you have any ideas for a poster that you'd like, let me know. I'm a creating machine.

Sculpture for Animation!

Tweet Hello All

In my last post, I uploaded my sketch ideas for a mask assignment that I had in my Sculpture for Animation class. Since then, I've come up with a more finalized sketched version of what I really wanted my mask to look like.

The official assignment/Project #1 was to create a Meta-Me Mask. The objective was to think about yourself, your characteristics (not just physical), create the mask/face/head of the character that would highlight, amplify, negate, or eliminate your specific qualities, and to use and TRANSFORM any materials.

Below I've included my more recent sketch and brainstorm of ideas & THE ACTUAL MASK thingy. :)

My brain farted on that paper.

INTRODUCING...SWEET LIPS! She's LOUD, smart, expressive, sweet, likable, opinionated, stylish, and BOLD! SHE's ME! You either LOVE HER or you HATE HER!

Materials used:
16 Fruit Roll Ups

About 25 Mini Tootsie Rolls

6 pairs of socks

A Von Dutch hat, courtesy of Adam :)

Water bottle

Clear Wrap

Crazy & Cement Glue

Cardboard

Duct tape

Toothpicks

Above is a sketch of a mirrored image of my face.

I'm taking a class called Sculpture for Animation and the 1st assignment is to construct a mask OUT OF ANYTHING! The mask is supposed to resemble a part of my personality so, I want to make the whole front part of the mask A HUGE MOUTH because (those of you who know me, know that) I ALWAYS HAVE A LOT TO SAY! Above are a couple of sketches of my ideas for the mask. Tell me what you think? Suggestions?

Tweet Right now I'm at school on break in my gesture drawing class so, I thought, "hey! I have time! Let me go post something!" Now here I am.

Okay...so...last night, I was on my way back home from school around midnight. I normally whip out my sketch book as I'm commuting home since I have a 45-minute commute. As I was settling myself on the bus, there was a man on the bus with a guitar who asked me if I was an artist. I told him yes (of course). Then he asked if I'd be able to draw him. I told him that I'd draw him right then and there and for him to act natural. This is what I did:

He was a cool guy. Very cool chill personality. :) His name was Albert.

As he was getting off at his stop, I overheard him tell another commuter on the bus, "Music saved my life." :)
