Tomorrow I'll be off to Toronto to drop off my paintings for the Square Foot Show. Here's a preview of what I've been working on for it.

I still have to gesso the sides so they'll be nice and presentable for the show. I think I'll get to that right now... *runs off* |

| AWOL Paintings; Hajime no Ippo &hearts |
[2009年7月25日|12:33 am] |
Working on a bunch of paintings, three of them for the AWOL Gallery Square Foot Show. And speaking of AWOL, I'm supposed to have received a confirmation reply from them, right? Well, still waitin'. :P
Haven't draw a whole lot on the computer lately, but here's a little something I did a bit ago.
Makunouchi Ippo from Hajime no Ippo. This series has trumped Bleach as being my favourite shounen series of all time. I'm not sure what it is that's so compelling about it... but at least one thing's for sure: it doesn't drag itself out to shreds (one upside to not having an anime adaptation 2-3 years after serialization begins ;). I want to draw a lot more from this manga, maybe even do a portrait project in the spirit of BBCP. I've already got an awesome idea for a poster print.
One thing I hate about Ippo though is his hair. Why does it have to be so damned hard to draw?! >_<;; |

This was the first AN since 2003 where I didn't participate in the artist alley, and I have to say it was really refreshing! :)
Instead of getting a table and sitting behind it for the entire convention, I opted to go with the art show Gallery Momiji and showcase and sell several of my works on canvas. Up until the night before the convention, I was frantically working away on them, wishing I hadn't wasted so much time weeks before... O_o;;
But, in any case!

| The semester's over! |
[2009年4月10日|12:51 am] |
I should've said this a week ago, but I'm done this semester! \(^o^)/ No exams to worry about either, which is always a big plus (fine arts courses are awesome that way ^^). The picture above is one of the paintings I did this term. I diverged away from landscapes and concentrated my efforts on this sort of "abstract, but not abstract" mode of painting using certain surrealistic techniques.
It was really interesting reading up on the various techniques the surrealists employed to generate new imagery. One was taking a brush loaded with ink and blowing onto a piece of paper and discern what the "image" is. The one that I used was related to ink blotting, but instead of ink I used acrylic paint. With one blot, I extracted five or so paintings from it, heheh. :) There was probably more, but time constraints but a stopper on that. There's always the rest of spring and summer to paint them though. ;)
I'll make a post with all the paintings I did and photos of the studio sometime soon. |
