Hipster on the Train

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

A really tiny 10″x8″ inch acrylic painting I did from my sketchbook of a hipster on the train. She had the most amazing houndstooth coat… I had alot of fun drawing the patterns… and I love how the canvas looks at an angle… It’s got this sort of contrast-y, opposing color thing on the sides of the painting that I added. (click to make it bigger!)

I also have it up on the etsy for sale here: [link]

And in bigger and better news: My old Epson wide format printer which died two years ago… has been REPLACED! I purchased a Canon Pixima printer… which means that I’m now able to sell my own prints again! (yay!) So, If you see anything on the site that you’d like to purchase as a print, send me an email (or send me a note through the contact page) and I’ll let you know more. The only problem is that the biggest I can print is 13″x19″ inches. Any bigger and you still have to purchase it through the inPrnt store.

Ok! Now that I’m done updating, I wish all of you a happy Fourth of July! Yay! I got a little lucky and have a 4 day weekend off… so perhaps more work will be posted up soon!

Day In, Day Out + my favorite letter P + Doodles

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Started a new piece called, ‘Day In, Day Out’ from one of my previous sketches… I’m about 70% finished. It’s acrylic and ink, on 14″x17″ Bristol. I’m really happy to get to put more intestines in my work, those are always fun to draw… I also used glazing for the first time in FOREVER since college, but with acrylic this time (which I’ve never been too successful with, but I really like how it’s working).


I’ve been experimenting the last few weeks on test paintings, to try to (once again) try to get the drawings to be 90% finished before I tweak on the computer. Below are three results of that, one of them hasn’t even been touched by the computer! :) (I liked it too much to finish past the point I was at… can you tell which one??) I’ve just really missed the feel of painted work and wanted to change things up a big, and get down some thick paint, instead of the watercolor-like stuff I’ve done previously. Makes me feel rather bold actually…!




And last, but not least, I want to scan more of my typographical oriented stuff and put up here more often… so here is a really nice letter P that I drew on the train ride home tonight. (and a fish lady… I thought it was funny at the time, but now I guess Isee its a bit more creepy…)
