Friend #1 Background

I have finally finished Friend #1! Yay.

Now I have to finish Friend #4... :)

Student on Ladder

It only took 30 hours! (That's sarcasm btw.)

Sneak Peek

Although these are not my friends they are students of friends, and it's the same style of those pieces.





You can see that it's not quite finished, but I thought I would share what I have been working on this summer.

Inspiration in Unlikely Places

Who knew that comic artists, such as those in Mad Magazine, were inspired by Balinese Shadow Puppet Theatre?

I saw this at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC in the section about Bali.

A Little Cheesy...

...but this is all I have had time to work on lately besides freelance stuff.

This Semester's Tessellation

I didn't quite get finished, but I think it's a fun one.

Current Social Issues

"If the shoe fits, wear it. If not, throw it out."

More amazing work by students.

Bus Ride Home

I drew this on my way home from work one day this spring. I have never boasted about my draftsmanship, nor will I. The bus was bumpy and my hand is always shaky, but I think this drawing has a lot of character.

Wet Paint

Students' Tessellations

My students are amazing.







Tessellations by 7th graders.

Draw What You Know

January Bat

This is one I made in January for my niece's birthday...

Finished?

Not quite. We still have to crop it, but I'm thinking it looks pretty good.

Painting

Six sixth graders and I started this painting yesterday.


The music concert at my school is based around civil rights this spring, so of course the art club is helping by creating big paintings to be hung in the auditorium during the concert. Here's the first day on the first painting.

Hand Sculpture

What can I say, I love making hands out of plaster. I can't explain it. It's not high art by any means, but there is something in it that is quite satisfying for me.
