Ive been feeling tired.. [Aug. 8th, 2009|08:29 pm]
[Tags|, ]

sorry my blog has been boring lately! I'll try to have more entertaining entries coming up :D
I'm still trying  to make myself get in the rythm of being more productive.
Again I'll try to encourage myself to do something by saying I'll share my productivity here (on a daily basis or something)! Wish me luck this time :P
I think Ill try:
                     *Make a drawing each day.
                     *Finish artwork sooner
                     *Work on more stuff
                     *Get less distracted, keep focused

OK, so here's something I finished recently.
I dont have a tittle for this painting just yet. but I'm really happy with how it came out. and the frame I found seems to suit it well.

its acrylic, graphite, & ink on tea stained paper. in my shop!

Hello, I hope you've had a Good Weekend! [Jul. 20th, 2009|06:28 pm]
[Tags|, , , ]

I know i did! about a month ago  I went to Rocky Point with friends, it was really fun! & this past weekend I went with my parents and sister!
I guess they were jealous I got to go and they hadnt been there before :P I dont know. it turned out to be a really fun trip. I love the time i get to spend with my family, now that ive been moved out for a while.
So we went spent the first two days at the beach almost the entire day. I had a shrimp cocktail each day we were there. And we rode on jet skis, which was amazing! Scary and so much fun! I love the beach.
me and sketchbook and beach. & me and a roll paper towels..on a dresser. maybe i should photoshop them out

I used my moleskine this time

using a red pencil i found in my bag.


& during the car ride home I drew my dad! black ball point pen.

During the car ride over there, i read an interview with David Choe in Giant Robot Issue #50.
has anyone read it? I found and inspiring tib bit, where he talks about the last illegal thing he had done.
He says he tags every hotel room he stays in. painting a character in the paintings they have, or moving a couch or something, and drawing something behind it. :D


Inspiring Indeed! :D Bird behind painting in hotel room in Mexico

My bird has made a couple other appearances:

Bird on the floor of a shop in Tempe. There's graffiti stuff every where, there! pretty cool.

and it started from here: I think. the drawing of the girl with a bird on her shoulder (available as a sticker!)
on the right > Bird in my sketchbook.. just practicing.


Okay, till later!
New drawings and dolls soon! :D in my shop

oh! & p.s.
since this blog entry already has pictures of me, I'll add another.
I was at Conspire some Sundays ago for a meeting. Chuck B. from Spraygraphic was snapping some pictures. there over here. They are all of Conspire! (spending lots of time there recently, and I have some art there for sale! yay!). I found one with me in it at the end! hehe so, its a must-share-in-blog type of thing. I guess.

I enjoy finding things like this.

Here's things i worked on yesterday [Jun. 10th, 2009|06:36 pm]
[Tags|, , ]

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.

New Stuff in the Shop & Stuff I bought [Apr. 28th, 2009|07:48 pm]
[Tags|]

Both of these drawings will be in my shop
The one on the left, was inspired by what if feels like when you are aware that people watchers are watching you.
The one on the right.. is a bit different for me. But Cute! i think.

 
what they really look like when hanging together:
  
 & in the second picture, is the frame Im thinking of using for my new painting. What do you think? [The frame is partly in its packaging just in case I wanted to return it. which I wont.]

  
here's some frames and plaques to paint on:and new fabrics i bought the other day:


also. I recently fixed the link page on my website.
http://carolroque.com/linkpage.html
