little shop of horrors

happy halloween!

i seriously can't believe october flew by this quickly! 

crazy.

i really have a few things i want to share, but unfortunately it's four in the morning and i've got class in five hours! yikes. 

i was able to catch a play on campus this friday (little shop of horrors!) and it inspired this little number:

hope everyone has an amazing halloween!

impressionism

man, i'm loving the slew of scary movies and shows that air for october...even if some of them are ridiculously silly. 

did anyone else catch the season 2 premiere of Walking Dead? 

it was sick! and left on a cliffhanger, those butt wipes. 

alright, well, in class we're going over impressionism and expressionism and we had to do an impressionistic piece outside on thursday.  it was a lot of fun being outside...with the sweltering heat we've got down here.  but in all seriousness, it was a change of pace and i genuinely enjoyed it. 

ignore the crappy camera quality...i took it with my phone.

hope everyone is enjoying their sunday! :)

mass effect

my sketchbook is collecting dust! 

it's a damn shame...and one i plan on correcting. 

so, i've found new inspiration in the awesomeness that is Mass Effect 1 & 2.  :]

I have never been able to replay a game as much as Mass Effect 2 and I am thoroughly excited for the newest installment coming out in March! 

with all this newfound inspiration and my procrastinating schoolwork, i've got a couple of sketches to post up (woo!).

i'm seriously considering taking my camera to class and posting up some of my schoolwork, though it's mostly statically boring still lifes (is it lives if i'm trying to make 'still life' plural?...kind of like is it computer mouses or computer mice....).

collage

first week of classes has passed! 

i have three art studio classes and i just did my first homework assignment. (that sounds silly to me, don't know why.)

alright, we had to make a collage and, thing is, i'm terrible at collages. i always have been. my little third grade self always had the most pathetic collages in the class. and i'm sure that'll transfer over. 

i made a horribe mess in my room and was in such a rush to finish up that it looks...blotchy. 

point is, i'm not happy with it, but it's something i've worked on this week and i've been neglecting the blog. :(

it's supposed to help describe ourselves. so, according to this, i've got hair like a troll doll. :)

memory

my semester classes have officially started. (insert enormously obnoxious sigh here)

as always, there was a bit of a mix up and i had to walk from one side of campus to the other all while struggling with my whale-weighted excuse of a backpack. oh, and did i mention there's a never ending heat-wave where i live?  :)

haha, it wasn't all bad. there's a new art building in the making and i'll be one of the many students to help design a mosaic floor. oh, and my art instructor informed me one of my pieces made it into the upcoming art show! hopefully, i'll be able to take a photo of it for the blog. it's a real simple piece...black and white (eraser pull-out). 

tomorrow, i will tackle my composition and design II classes. although, my instructor is offering me a spot in his drawing II class. i may switch, but we'll see. 

alright, i've babbled long enough. 

here's a doodle i did yesterday.
