Here are some other circular designs I whipped up yesterday. I had a lot of fun coming up with the designs on the shells themselves!
I really enjoy drawing these.

New Work
So I haven't had time to scan these bigger new pieces.
And photomerge is a gift from GOD.
And photomerge is a gift from GOD.
The first is the walk for animals poster done a while back in acrylic.
The watercolor might be one of my new favorite pieces.

Pet Lovers Piece FINALLY FINISHED
Monday, November 2, 2009
Finished
I love it actually, it turned out pretty well.
The assignment was a collaboration piece between the Grotesque class where we were assigned groups in the class who wrote essays about Kafka's Metamorphosis. My idea was that Gregor as a roach was fatally pinned to few aspects in his life, like in the beginning of the story, time being of great importance to him. I simplified it A LOT.
There you have it

Some new things.
I still have to do the text and tweak a few things, but overall I am very pleased with the way it came out.
Thanks Ben for helping me with the color :)
So there you have it ;)

Ugh, I hate ruts.
It started out with me getting a bit of a bug, and then getting better, and the ended with my family losing our beloved cat Chloe. We had her for seventeen years. I remember getting her when I was four. She will be so missed and we were really blessed to have her.
Here is some new work for you.
It's not my favorite. I kind of dislike it actually.
It's about the Manson Murders, particularly the Tate, Sebring, Folger ones.
I don't really like it.
Same with my new things.
I have an utterly horrible alphabet that I'm finishing up today. Maybe I'll like it later though.
Oh well
Love,
Mary

Update on the textbook cover
Tell me what you think!
I also have the updated pipe piece that I need to get fixed. I painted over a portrait of Einstein and put a pipe in there, haha

Two Posts in One Day, but it's totally worth it.
I mean, finished isn't really the word for it. I am not content with the whole things but I do like the colors. I feel like the background needs some sort of texture, but I'm not sure.
Feedback? The text needs work too. Nothing like a nice boring oval.
Alright, I'm off to bed, at a lovely 3:03 am.
In other news, I miss my Mummy. :( For she is in Poland for two loooong weeks.
Sigh,
Love
Mary
ps,
I'm realizing that I can't open most of my projects up to a bigger size if I click on them. Is that an issue for you too?
HELP!
I'M A GOOD ARTIST WHO KNOWS THAT SHE'S DOING, I SWEAR!

New things!
New children's book piece that I sorta like.
It's done in ballpoint pen, and colored digitally.
To be quite honest I only like the pen drawing without the color. Oh well
The poem is about dreaming about flowers.
I will post the pen drawing once I get the file
Love,
Mary

So far...
I guess mine is a spin-off of science, morel like biology and anatomy.
We'll see.
I have a basic idea that I think will be very elegant.
So far, I have two sketches which will be colored in photoshop
and then I plan on adding flowers into the composition, and various scientific elements, e.i. beakers, insects, chemical symbols, alchemy symbols, etc.
Here are the two base sketches I have so far.
I'll post more with each level of progress. Whee skulls!

Children's Book Illustration - Imagination
I really think it turned out well, considering I started on the first one and totally hit the wall and gave up because it was UGLY.
So I started this one brand spanking new earlier this afternoon and it was TOTALLY WORTH IT.
Let me know what you think of my watercolor skills. This is the first illustration I have ever fully used watercolor.

Swingin' London and Christmas Music
So I just got the final worked out on this Tools of the Trade project about Swingin' London,
AND
I'M LISTENING TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC.
It's actually pretty nice.
I don't usually condone listening to Christmas music before the wintertime, but I actually like it very much.
The project above will most likely be fixed a bit before tomorrow.
Now I get do to another children's book illustration involving bright colored vegetables taking a nice hot soak in a stew pot.
Love

Topics Illustration progress.
Ok, Topics is eating up my life and here is the progress to show for it.
I had a fun time blocking in the big colors for the shadows, but it required a lot of tape, and a lot of paint. The paper is astronomically heavier than it was before.
This is just a crappy photobooth picture,
but now I am working on putting the pictures on the wall, and getting the knick-knacks on the shelves.
I hope to have it done by tonight, and maybe work on it a little bit tomorrow just so I can put the finishing touches on it before it it due on Tuesday.
Love,
Mary

First Illustration of the New Semester!
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
School is back in session, meaning I am back to actual post things...
Hey!
Sorry for such a lag!
I literally did nothing but relax and enjoy the summer and play with my cat. I honestly was really lazy and did very little art related things.
Much like this.
Yep, pretty boring.
Anyhoo,
All my classes so far have been great!
3 illustration studios
and 2 liberal arts.
Fun!
There will be more, I promise!
As soon as I get a project done or something, I will post it here!
Love,
Mary

More (and less interesting) Paintings!
My goodness, everything's been a flutter with the school year ending.
I do miss it though. I wish I had summer classes. Plus I need a job.
But in the meantime, here are some of my paintings from Painting 1 this past semester.
But only the ones I deem good enough. Hahaha.
Yeah, those are fun.
Ugh, fine, I'll show you my crappy in class self portrait. The damn sub told me that I needed to be really dark because I was back lit, but I ended up looking like a swamp monster. So don't mind the fact that it's hardly done.
Have a great, weather wonderful week!
Love,
Mary

Nightmare Book
I'VE DONE IT!
I'VE MADE MY FIRST BOOK.
With the help of the lovelies Anna and Evan, I actually got it done, yay!
It's a visual representation of this nightmare I have had since I was about three years old.
This is officially the first time I have ever actually expressed it visually.
So it's kind of like a psychological breakthrough or something. It feels good actually.
I mean, granted it's not THAT good, it's still pretty neat for me.
More stuff to come
