Painting, Drawing and the likes..

So, I thought I'd give a little view of what i've been working on lately... Some of the stuff is work in progress, some is finished, some is photographed horribly and others are just test prints. 

First, the two eye drawings go together, I actually finished this like 5 minutes ago. It's for drawing, the second one is the final and it's supposed to show wrath. There's kind of an awkward shadow made by the flash on both, i apologize. The paint was mad fun to do but I kind of got a little on the carpet and a lot on me. Oops. 

This next is just an in class drawing, probably spent 50 minutes total on it. We were just experimenting with what would happen if we drew something, messed it up and then tried to fix it. By the way, all of these are 18 inches by 24 inches. 

Next is a 2d project done in color aid which is basically just itty bitty pieces of ccolored paper and you cut them up with an exacto knife and then glue them. We were supposed to turn one thing into another using a series of transitions so I changed a drop of water into a carrot. I have no idea why there are little pieces of white on the picture, you can't see them in person. And i don't know why this text is blue and underlined but it does not seem to want to change.

This is just another version of an in class drawing/painting. It's semi-hard to tell what it is because i painted over the entire thing with white paint. 

I'm also working on a cardboard chair which will be done by Wednesday, pictures to come later. 

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

We won!

First volleyball game of the season was tonight. I convinced Ashley to go with me now that she's in her "going to say yes to everything" mood. Got there 15 minutes early and we were really afraid that it was going to be the two of us against a team of 8 guys! Good thing some other people decided to show up. It's by no means high class volleyball, we won't be knocking Penn State out of their position any day soon but it's still fun.

It's currently snowing outside and the snow appears to want to continue until Sunday according to weather dot com. Hopefully we well get some good snowman building snow, that would be lovely.

I got to paint today! Fingerpainting, actually! We're working on one project in drawing right now that requires ridiculous amounts of concentration and the next project is really really loose so my professor gave us paint and told us to use pencils and paint to draw the skeleton. I'm actually rather happy with how my turned out, not really so much how it looks but it was super fun to make and it's surprising what you can convey even when everything is messy. I'll post a picture sometime later, it's currently drying in my locker and I didn't want the snow to mess it up.

My eight am class tomorrow was cancelled about two minutes ago due to snow (already... yeah, i know..) but that's okay because now I get to sit here and "be in class" on my computer. Too bad we have a quiz tomorrow on unknown topics. 3d goes from 9 until noon, meeting Ashley for a quick lunch, meeting at work from 1-2, class from 2-5 then DRAWING until the end of time! It's actually not that bad, i'm having fun drawing it now. I'm also working on this giant coloraid project for 2d. It's an extension of something we're doing in class and I liked it so much that I'm just working on something for the heck of it.

Sistine Chapel & the Tornado

The room is done! My mom spent all of last week (like we're talking 7 hour runs without lunch) painting their room. Here's the final result, doesn't it look good? :)

Oh yeah, and here's my disaster of a room. It's somewhat less inviting than my parents room above, but don't worry it'll get cleaned up in a few days. 

It's a Bird, It's a Plane... It's a Giant Pizza Bubble!

(Note: If you have not visited my blog in a while, there are two posts below this one in case you missed them... one from vacation one from earlier today. I spent today catching up on the past week hence the three posts in one day...)

Like I said previously, my mom has been painting, sanding, cleaning their bedroom/bathroom. Today's job was the ceiling. I appointed myself project coordinator and took it upon myself to stand and point out all the mistakes (all in good fun, of course) and take pictures of the painting. Sarah helped paint a bit on the ceiling.. she was so tall standing on the ladder that she had to take her hair down or it would hit the ceiling! When you take a look at the second picture, yes, that is, in fact, a large blue reclining chair sitting in the bathroom. It has been deemed the "flossing chair" for the time being. 

Since my mom spent long hours again today painting, Sarah and I took on the task of dinner once again. Tonight's dinner: pizza. Nope, not frozen pizza, pizza from dominos or pizza hut... homemade tasty pizza. Sarah made the dough.. I think the conversation went something like this:

Me: Taste this dough, it's pretty good!

Sarah: No way, that's gross.

Me: No really, taste it. (attempts to shove some in sarah's mouth)

Sarah: (running away) ewwwwww.

Me: What's in this anyway?

Sarah: You know... flour, salt, yeast...

Me: Woahh, so i'm going to rise?!

Yes.. one of my brighter moments. 

(sarah had already finished rolling this one out and i didn't have my camera out in time so i made her stand there and pretend to roll it out again.. she's a pretty good actor ;) 

(it's a giant pizza bubble!!! it took over half of the pizza)

Paint, Paint and more Paint

My parents are in the process of repainting their bedroom/bathroom. It's the last two rooms in the house that still have the original builders paint (sshhhh). This weekend they prepped the room, sanded, taped, etc  and then my mom has been doing most of the painting during the week with a little help from the peanut gallery (mostly Sarah...I've taken the role as the project photographer hehe). Oh yeah and then my dad comes home late and night and repaints whatever mess we've made :) -- just kidding it needed a second coat anyway! My mom is currently in the closet painting these little pesky shelving things and I thought they looked neat so I took some pictures. 

Oh yeah, my mom would probably like if I mentioned that this is NOT, in fact, how messy their bedroom/bathroom usually looks.. only temporary :)
