news?

I'm posting at a new DA account now!
Yeah, sorry, I'm being way too elusive on the internet these days. Just trying to make myself a comfortable spot to post things. I'll still be blogging here.

Anyway, this is something I made for a bookbinding project in my fibre arts class last semester. I made a canvas book out of scraps for painting in. The inner and outer covers were old paintings I did on canvas scraps.

There's plenty more to be filled in. I like how the book turned out, but it was a real bitch binding pages of primed canvas. It didn't help that I used thick hemp cord to do it, but at least it's finished and durable!

skeleton theme post

I've been doing lots of skeleton related drawings.

Edgar on a throne of bones. I regret that the one time I got this image on paper properly, it had to be sketchbook paper :[ I liked my sketch too much to stop working on it.

I was playing with wire and trying to make a cat skeleton but I got bored of fiddling with it. So it is now a partial body for my magpie skull.

Cardboard croc! I referenced a picture of a massive prehistoric crocodile skull, but it's probably about regular crocodile sized. I used this as a final project in a class that was a total joke. The teacher only showed up to hand out marks and papers with the next project on them.
I drew this big crocodile because it was cool and I felt like drawing it. OK thanks for the A and for taking my time and money.

misc doodles

Hope everybody had a merry Christmas! It went by like a blur for me.
I've been knitting my face off these past few weeks, just trying to get some basic techniques down. I made a hat and a scarf but I don't have pictures cause I gave them away as gifts. I've also taken up snowboard which has been fun but seriously painful to learn. Oh, my aching groin... I must persevere!


A comic with Shirley and Patches, sketches of Bridget and Lynn, and some freaky kid swearing vengeance for whatever reason.

Doodle page and some character notes.

princess of cats

As I might have mentioned here and there, I'm reworking the "Ziether" comics I used to draw. "Beatrice, Princess of Cats!" is a series I've been planning for a while, and I want to get some comics drawn over this winter break. Here's some art related to that:

glass

I'm done this semester as of yesterday, woohoo! I really loved the 3D stuff I got to make, I'm kinda sad that my classes are all drawing-based next semester. Anyway, here's some of my favourite glass work:

My greatest feat was the fishbowl. It's hard to get it big enough without it collapsing in the heat! This was my third attempt and even it had a fault (a big leaky crack through the bottom, but I sealed it up). My fish isnt very photogenic, but he's happy in his new place, trust me.

I'm thinking I should keep going with it. I want to take another class next year. I could become a veritable bongsmith with practice.

little book

Heyhey, just finishing up some final projects here and I'm done this semester. Holidays are coming close, but this year I'm trying my best to give something hand-made to all of my family. I've been very busy making things. Also, I just bought an old rental snowboard for fifty bucks! I am an inch closer to enjoying winter now.

These scans are from a little handmade book that I'm in the midst of filling with doodles and junk :D

back to the blog

Alright, let's bump those old posts a little further down the page. I did a little work on the layout today, but nothing big. Just recycling drawings and using fonts to make my graphics since I'm still out a tablet.

Here's some plushy stuff!
