Going To Try And Resurrect This.

A little quick couple minute sketch after I read an article about scientists stimulating squid cells with electrical shocks set to the beat of music. In case you’re wondering its Cyprus Hill as squid. In any case I'm off to make breakfast and I think I'll start posting sketches here regularly again.  

Applogies For Lack Of Imagry

Sorry, no pictures today, I just started a world literature course and have been consumed in text. I'll try to get some stuff up later today. As a consolation here is my biography poem for the first assignment in my new course. I could have done well or completely failed the assignment well see, but I wanted to try something new and different for me. I tried to do it in the Shichigon-zekku style. I'm not sure I was successful. Anyway I'm tired. Night All.

Short Biographic Poem

Snow filled year nineteen seventy nine

Water flows by the place of healing

Parents joyful, welcome a first son’s dawn

What time has a scorpion to float?



Sleeping in a walled room of stars

Points of light sparkle yet are empty

Distance filled by posted imagination poured paper

What voids dark chasm can thought breach?



A house of knowledge filled self absorption

Surrounding packs of vicious peers draw near

Conform draw to biology not paint stroke

How long can creativity conform to safety?



Seventy leagues traversed to highland of rams

Atop a hill crown structures of stone

Here squares within squares is scholarliness sought

Can two knowledges be served and retained?



Sailing black rivers, sun shining, horizons opened

Island home foreboding waves grow lashing shore

Water’s freeze, horizons narrow, light is dimmed

Can knowledge produce, if none can hear?



Mother’s mother sits mind running, body silent

Surrounded by shades family love fills all

Fading knowledge smolders but humor burn bright

What is left last humor or choice?



Surrounding humming electronics make far friends close

Chair beckons, perception drifts, to pixilated worlds

Worrisome mind soothed by pixilated life’s allure

How real is physical or mental experience?



Passion’s craft found anew, graphite to page

Books of mind’s sketch open new horizons

Diversion and passion converge in electric institution

Can work and play be the same?



Light crests horizon’s edge new dawn comes

Long winter chills melt minds muscle warms

Future uncertain but path obscured no longer

Now, is the answer to the question.

ARRRRR!!! Sword Fight Final

So my dynamic figure drawing course is almost complete just a few more critiques to do. This is the extra credit and the final for the course. I think it came out pretty well. I could definitely see it being an illustration for a children’s book drawn and colored this way. It's in graphite and colored on the computer. In other news I hope everyone got their pouchki or paczki yesterday? I’m never sure how to say it. I know I had my "fair" share. I'll need to run today and start to work them off. So my next course is World literature and the book is huge but looks sooo good. Anyway back to critiquing. Night All.

Image Manipulation Through Dreams

I've been working hard it's finals for the dynamic drawing class. So I didn’t have time to sketch and scan. This is my final from the digital manipulation course I took. I think it came out pretty well. It was a fun course. More drawings will be forthcoming tomorrow. Night All.

Late Night Finals And Belated Posting

Sorry for the late post again, I'll try to post again today at some point. Somehow at the end of each session I end up staying up late and being generally exhausted. It's okay though I thought a head and made the spicy baked penne pasta which is easy to heat up so hopefully I won't have to many late nights. Today's sketch is the rough draft of the final project. I already see several things wrong with it but they can be fixed when I draw the final. I was feeling pirates so I went with it. Okay really tired so I'm off to sleep. Night All.

Abstraction And Mango Ice

I'm sitting here working on a drawing for class which is suppose to be an abstract drawing. I think it's coming allong pretty well. The mango ice next to me is delicious. In other news, I'm feeling pretty accomplished today I got a lot done and yet still have a lot to do so I'm going to keep this short. Night All.

Early Morning Groggies And What I've Been Up To

Okay everyone, I apologize for letting my blog laps for so long but I'm back to posting hopefully daily again starting now. I've gotten back in to college over the past year and I should so be enrolled into the Game Art & Design program at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online. I normally take two courses every 5 1/2 weeks and am a little over a year in now. Things are settling down around here and I'm getting my life more organized which is good for me. Yesterday I made Spicy BBQ Turkey Burgers, I'm going to have to work on them a little bit and find the right sauce to go over the top they are really good. I'm thinking a white cheese and maybe bacon as well might be good toppers. Any ideas? Over the next few days I'm going to work back through the class work I've done and share the better stuff. The stuff for today is from my Dynamic Figure Drawing course which I'm in the fifth week of currently. First we have a drawing of my hand in charcoal, a self portrait, a drawing of Discobolus, roman copy of the Greek bronze sculpture by Myron, a running figure, and this week’s first attempt at fashion illustration. That's it for today unless I get some more time, more posts tomorrow. Night All (I know that it is morning.)
