smiley dolls in progress

2009-07-10T00:05:45Z

Working on some dolls, one will probably be in my shop either tonight or tomorow! :)

p.s. ive updated my Doll Archive a bit. nothing is really clickable (though you can always right-click 'view image') but you can still see all, most, of the dolls ive ever created!! :) My newest ones, at the top, are the best.. but i guess thats how it has to be, after making so many.

painting

2009-06-24T00:00:50Z

my painting is looking like this:
working on that last 10%. my favorite part.

its about feeling so hurt that you try to feel empty of all feelings to feel ok.
*thinking about a title.

here is a painting i worked on Saturday morning at a workshop in my old school. I got to paint from life.

2 hours.

Here's things i worked on yesterday

2009-06-11T01:59:59Z

I told facebook that I was going to be hardcore. at working yesterday.

this is kind of like a still life painting. because its a real little packaged up baby and bottle eraser that i have.
its not finished.

I also worked on my 'empty inside' painting..thats what i did most of the day, but I dont really have a way of showing that.
I am working on it more today. I'll show you that later.

Then, yesterday night I went to a 'Dr. Sketchy's' anti art school life drawing session.

i think the pose is between 2 and 3 hours long.
I only worked one drawing! which I'm happy about. her proportions might be a bit off..or maybe theye correct. I shouldve taken a photo of the model, but i was too afraid.

here's a close up:

I drew this inside my regular sized moleskine sketchbook, so she's kinda small..

I was going to work at night too, after i got back from lifedrawing, but i was too lazy and tired to gather my paints and things, because its all still in my bedroom inside the big easel.

look ive taken some pictures

2009-06-10T20:38:49Z

i bought a plant the other day.. I think its still alive.

here is the view through a gallery called 'eyelounge'
it was closed so i didnt get to get a close look at the art.
but notice my flier in the corner there in the window sil! i was excited to see it (cus i didnt put them there)!

this is in front of Conspire during First Friday.

and this is a view of lots of people and some tents.

thats all for now. :D

Sticker Pack!!

2009-06-05T06:19:23Z

i took this picture in the car today

I thought 'Yeah! I got something done!'

and later it turned into this!

These are my new Sticker Packs! I am sooo happy and excited for them.
These will be in My Shop!
my price will be $5 not six like it says there, thats the price for Conspire (cafe/boutique/gallery).

they each contain 8 different random stickers. and I'm in the process of turning some of my newer work into stickers too!

Doll in Progress

2009-06-02T18:35:40Z

a couple of the past days Ive been working on this Doll.

her top is yellow,..it kind of blends in with her skin. Im gonna add some darker colors in it though!

She will be fully oil painted, and will be wearing a bathing suit, ready for summer. She will be in my shop when finished. :)

What I Did Today

2009-05-28T08:21:34Z

++++ Painted this much:

I'm still working on defining the face to look like what I want it to. painting in black and white is fun.
I think when i finish this, i will post progress pictures together.. I mostly always take pictures of paintings as i work on it, different stages and stuff. But i dont seem to share them much. Its always interesting to see people's process.

++++ I also drew in my sketchbook. -no picture of that. I would write more about art related stuff i did today.. but im so tired i just cant. after 9 or 10pm i started feeling really hungry and then light headed. then tired. I guess maybe i really didnt eat enough. Dont worry, I usually eat a lot.
ok. bye,

++ feel free to share with me random stories in the comment area. I wish at least one person would. that would be fun.
does anyone remember when i posted a 'tilt' (Things I love Thursday) entry a while ago, i said I may start a series of entries about helpful information and things I find out about life.. or something similar.
I have been learning so much about life. perhaps I will share some of it.
Especially if someone shares with me a story in the comment area. heh. : )

Hi there :) here to share what I'm up to today.

I moved my easel to my room to paint today, and I'm back to painting after what feels like weeks and weeks.
I'm gonna try to update more of my progress each day or so. as a sort of motivation.
and I'm still working on making a drawing everyday. I'm so forgetful.. ..or have difficulties building habbits.

Recent things

2009-05-20T18:40:36Z

Here is this drawing that I started last night..
i'll write more about its meanings later.. I might redraw it.. or just fix her arms.

this is a page from inside my moleskine, it just keeps evolving.
nice words, fire stories, and drawing

he really was a lot more content than he looks here. i just cooled him off with a wet paper towel during a recent no-ac-inside summer day.

c'est moi

2009-05-19T10:53:37Z

i feel like i look cute in this picture. probably 'cause I'm all squinty and smiley in it.

Awesome blog

2009-05-15T19:22:13Z

In My shop Today:

2009-05-14T22:18:12Z

original framed "Somebody's Dream Girl" & Doll 43 ~Mimi

finally some new things in my shop! :)

this has been a long week.
not in a very bad way really. but one night I did have bad dreams about being alone and friendless, because of it woke up feeling sad of course. Good thing I dont usually have bad dreams.
but I felt better later that day.
today is the first day of the week I'm able to work! kind of, I did work monday.
I feel so tired though.. very low on energy.. Hmm.
Maybe its because I have been forgetting to take my vitamins. I think I get really low if I dont have vitamin bs in me each day.
I want to stay home relaxing tonight. But I have a dinner to go to. Atleast I get to dress up.
Even though dressing up is a litle weird for me, because I dont often do it.

Yesterday I got to see Barack Obama! he came to ASU to give a commencement speech. it was really great. His speech was really good & inspiring. :)
I got a video of alll the people that were there..and how many flashes were going off when he came out.
but, i dont think flickr likes my video.

if you are a Mother..

2009-05-10T22:50:36Z

Happy Mother's Day!

I made this little doll to give to my mom today on Mother's Day!
in the dolly's pockets is me and my mom. I don't know what were doing in a doll's pockets, but we are feeling quite cute there! :P

i am currently away from my computer. i came in with my friend to his work place. kind of in hopes that i will be able to concentrate more on this commission that i have to finish. anyway...i'm just sitting here wondering if i can blog a picture from flickr through my phone. and thinking about when and what i will be eating next.

Art at Conspire

2009-05-02T20:48:53Z

I like how my artwork ended up looking. I'm free to rotate art here! Itll be up for a whole month.. pretty free to bring new stuff.. Ive already started a new naked naughty doll..which I am very happy with!

this wall is opposite the first. I can add more framed prints here, and Im going to bring a basket or container of some sort filled with prints.

I started this naughty doll a while ago, and decided to finish her for this show.


	I'm so happy with this painting!
