I promised my mom I would post before she heads off to Jamaica. I’m jealous… but I guess I can’t complain too much. It did hit 13 degrees fahrenheit today. (that’s warm)

Welp I’ve been doing art… (what’s new?)

Here are my two most recent paintings. If you don’t know modern art very well you’ll probably hate these… if you do you probably would like them better.

THESE ARE BOTH UNFINISHED (I am going to work on them the whole semester… meaning they won’t be done until May, but you can see the process it took for me to get there.)

I’ll give you a hint how to look at the first one: if the painting was 3-d, what part of it would be closest to you? Why?

Here’s the next one:

Look up the Abstract Expressionists if you want to know where I got my inspiration.

I also got to learn how to do Batik during Non-Western art history class - a way that Africans dye patterns into their clothing, using melted wax. Here’s what I came up with:

I am also learning how to do flash animation, and I have a few to show once I learn to post them on this site. All i have to say is, get ready for something pretty sweet.

Finally, east campus is having an event. I made posters. I hate valentines day, so I put in little effort - But I do think that they look nice:

Finally - If you remember the art sale we had semester, I had thought that I didn’t sell anything. Well, I guess I did. I was really surprised when professor van geest handed me an envelope of money this week. Apparently someone bought this print:

It’s weird to think that someone probably has my art hanging around their house.

Anyways, Art is all that I’ve been doing recently.

This weekend is very eventful: tonight I go on a date with Laura, tomorrow I’ll be working in a homeless shelter all morning, and then hanging out with Amanda and Jason all evening.

Mom and Dad, have a good trip! Stay safe!

Everybody else out there as well!

Love ya,
