New Paintings

More from my "stealing yo shit off facebook series" (idunno).  Anyhow, here are "Arabian Dreams" and "Jekyll and Hide It"

"Arabian Dreams"

Here is my very white friend in her wedding garb. She married into an Indian family. As always, I stalk my fb friends, and choose interesting profile pictures to transform into paintings. In doing so, I am questioning their decision in how they represent themselves digitally. I like this one because it showcases her new blended identity. Like the others, the painting is in gouache and watercolor, but I've also added metallic spray paint and glitter glue to up the sparkle. Thinking I might show these with the original pics for comparison. Thoughts?

  "Jekyll and Hide It"

                                                                                  

This photo was highly photoshopped, which is something I hadn't worked with before. Thus the large sections of white. I also find it interesting that he is wearing these huge glasses. Hiding something?

Valentine

My valentine to  my husband, Doug.  Bear is his pet name.  Not quite as pretty as in person (I photoshop not so goodly), but it's the best I can get online right now.  It's watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil on paper.

Update: Spring Semester

Due to some problems that I'm no longer lingering over, I ended up adding a lot of studio classes to this semester in order to be able to graduate by the end of fall.  Unfortunately, that means I probably won't be working on my Self-Adhesive comics very much, nor will I be able to work on the scripting for my collaboration on the Fallen comic with Derek.  BUT, my awesome sauce professor John Harlan Norris, painter and singer for the band Harlan, is allowing me to turn in comics and cartoon images for homework.  Right now I am taking independent painting, printmaking, ceramics, and drawing (again), so you'll probably be seeing a variety of new work, even in areas that I don't specialize in (ceramics/printmaking).  Here, have a lady I drew.

Not FABULOUS, but it was my first try at painting with markers.  I used prismas for this.  Random D&D character I had floating around in my head.  I like her eyes and nose best.
