Quick pose from imagination. It slightly resembles Arty, but is not him, it's just a random model that jumped out of my stylus. :)

I have a really full work schedule today, so I doubt if I'll have a chance to do another sketch today. It's a 3-show day for Sound of Music.


My Wacom ipad stylus tip broke. :( but the company is sending me a complimentary replacement, since it shouldn't have worn out that quickly. Wacom is quite awesome like that.

For Brandon, one of his favorite Pokemon, on a rather lame background.

I'm about to be involved In a production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. In preparation of that, I just watched the movie on Netflix, now I'm really excited! After so many fluffy musicals, will be fun to work on a show that requires thought.


With the storyline of Hamlet in my head, I tried to draw a skull from memory. My memory needs improvement. I'm not happy with the skull so I added a caricature Hamlet, just to entertain me.
And yes, I know that isn't the line where he is holding the skull, but I like that monologue better than the 'to be or not to be' one.

That is so not how a skull works...

Things to practice: skulls, and hands.

One+-a-day - 3-19-13

My dog Candy curled up in a blanket in front of me on the couch. I had to sketch her.

I really need to do way more sketching than I have been.

The view from my seat at the co-op market downtown. Very quick impression.
By the by, I misdated yesterday's one-a-day, it's supposed to be for the 18th. I should check the date before writing it, lol.

One-a-day

So a billion things have happened since my last post.
The move didn't go through, but we're still trying.

I turned 24, and had the absolute best birthday ever. My friends and family put together an adventure for me involving all of my favorite fandoms. One of the many perks of having theatre techie friends is the awesomeness they can pull together. I'm uploading the story of that as soon as I can.

At the end of the adventure they revealed an ipad, all for me, that my community had all pitched in for. So amazing! I love this thing so much!

Now that I have a full portable studio in the form of an ipad, I'm starting a one-a-day sketchbook in the app 'paper by 53'. It's a very limited drawing app, but I've found it nice for quickly capturing ideas. Here is the first of them. I may not upload them everyday, but I'm going to try to upload them at least once a week.

My Free Time

I know it's been a while since I've had a chance to update my blogs, it happens. So very much has happened since I last updated.

Just recently, I was officially hired into the Paramount Theater, where I have been working as a techie-for-hire for the past 3 years, specializing in Soundboard Operations, and Lighting Design. The city finally noticed I'm practically always there, so they gave me a fancy title, and keys to the building, put me on payroll, and everything.
I'm very excited about it, and I know it will only help my art. I'm a big believer in how every thing you do has an effect on your art, even if it seems unrelated.

in other news, I've been offered membership in the local Artist's League, I'm excited about that. it's not an exclusive club or anything, but they saw some of my work and would like me to start participating in their shows and such.

I'm also moving! we're buying a house and officially laying down roots in this town, and I'm so excited about it. I've been the one handling the real estate agent and loan officer, mountains and mountains of paperwork! Very stressful, but fun in a way. the house is small, but absolutely fantastic, and really suited to our way of life. also, there's room in it for me to have my own studio! I can finally start producing more physical pieces!

I am dearly hoping that I will have more time to update this, and my other blog once the move is finished.
