the same as doing laundry, i suppose.

A HA! So my sis has been kind enough to haul away all my finished paintings and take good pictures of them for selling/making posters (more of that story to come). here's some oldies from 2007 and the last one is 2008. a little trip down mammary lane. jokes.

[edit] i don't know why blogger is not thumb-nailing(:O) these so apologies in advance. you can see the non-chopped image by clicking on it [/edit]
"sister wine"

a (birthday) gift for my turdle dove. she loved it and so does my mom. obviously there are some technical issues but we don't talk about those anyway. it was a freebie. one of many.

"the tragic love story of carmichael, camichael"

one of my favorite ones that i sold to my sister's friend sometime last year for less than i should have. it doesn't matter. i've since spent the money i earned on something silly like a dress or groceries or more black paint or something. money well spent i like to imagine. (but probably not).

"moonlight sonata a la vicki and anthony"

also sold to the same lady. i don't know how i feel about this one. it's alright if not rushed. this sale bought me some beer and a bus pass.

"we've got to dovetail"

aaahhhh memories. bad ones. i was still living behind the mall at the time, in a rut. i gave this one away for christmas and it came back a few months shy of a year later. needless to say, dovetailing did not occur.

"it's a distraction. the trick is to keep your eye on the hat"

i miss this one. i wish it didn't get shipped off to san diego to shack up with the rest of them. only two people know it's secret and that's because i couldn't keep my damn mouth shut. so it goes.

well that's all i have to say about that. i might divulge the non-edited versions if asked, but probably not. it's nice to have something that's all yours. even if it's only a memory or a feeling.

till next time...

the last workshop drawing session of the semester. ink, watercolor, pen, gold pen, pastel?


this one guy from my class that i didn't like much. pastel and marker.


yayayayaya. it's a new year, major, semester, life and i'm slowly figuring out what i want and what i don't. printmaking is pretty much the best thing i have going for me right now, and i think i'm alright with that.
