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.

the best dog ever.

acrylics - 7/6/11
guero

he moved cockroaches away when you asked him to. he'd never bite. even when being fed, he'd be sure not to nip at your fingers. he would never bark unless something foreign entered the yard. he was great with kids and the smaller dogs. he had the most beautiful brown eyes ever seen on a dog and the best short, soft, floppy ears. and i miss him terribly.

my sleeping pattern is off whack after staying up watching iron man 2 on netflix last night. so, i'm awake at four in the morning messing around with markers and paints. terribly so, might i add. these next sketches are of our family dogs, martini and allie.

because i don't have a scanner, the colors never come out right (they're taken with a regular digital camera). at lease with the first one i was able to discard the color information.
