paintings

i scanned some paintings this morning after not sleeping for like, 404986 hours. that is not cool. me and sleep used to be friends but it got real jealous of my relationship with work.


























this is an editorial thing about this article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23468364/
i don't really like this one because the composition's all weird, but i doubt it's going to get fixed.

sleeping giants


i just finished this painting for senior project this morning! sweet. this was inspired by a story my friend faye told me about when she lived in st john when she was little and thought that the hills were giant people sleeping under blankets.

i need to start coming up with snappier names for paintings.

some paintings

did you guys know that this island is floating above the earth? that balloon is filled with happiness!























a couple months ago i had to do an assignment based on my favorite song:
"hey" by the pixies

hey
been trying to meet you
hey
must be a devil between us
or whores in my head
whores at my door
whores in my bed
but hey
where have you been
if you go i will surely die
we're chained
uh said the man to the lady
uh said the lady to the man she adored
and the whores like a choir
go uh all night
and mary ain't you tired of this
uh is the sound
that the mother makes when the baby breaks
we're chained



sketchbooks

the fish drawing is from this class i'm taking, drawing on location, where we go to a different place in nyc every week. this week we went to chinatown. then there's a cake from a sketchbook i had a couple months ago, and some totem poles that i've been doodling everywhere.
