house AND art

so i've been having 'fun' buying 'accessories' for my new place - i got a killer deal on some silk trees which i had been in the market for. thanks to my friends for meeting me at the store with your durango so we could toss the trees in the back and get them moved. you guys are the best. you know who you are. here are some pictures of the apartment up to this point. (top left: it still blows my mind how thin my tv is.)

i've got 9 new poster sized prints on the way. i'm more than excited about this. i'm wondering whether someone will give me a deal on 9 frames? the following are the pics (i went with the space theme)

i love this one. i've been saving a spot on my wall for it!

these next two pieces are by cameron moll - a 'local' designer - i appreciate what he's done with the theme. he's made it contemporary / graphic without being disrespectful. any day a call will be coming from the framing store to pick them up.

and the third installment of the 'jessie evan's canvas temple gallery' that i'm picking up this weekend. lady's got skillz. i've already got a spot picked out for this one as well.

lady luck step 2

here is the next step in the process - i haven't quite decided if this is done. i feel like i wanna add some more, but the hardest part is to know when to call it good and to not overdo it. i think it would be really cool to take her hair and turn it into a cherry blossom tree. i'll play around with the idea coming up and post it when i get around to it.

work in progress. oh wait, my BYU figure drawing training compels me to draw a bikini on this chick...

oh there we go...

since i have been working full-time (over-time) i haven't made a lot of time to draw. you know that feeling when you feel like you've got creativity being bottled up? yeah. well, this is the love child of my recently freed creativity and the kind of art i have been scoping recently. (been looking at a lot of:

oh em gee

i made some time to this week to head to one of my favorite places in the mall to sketch. i started doodling some unsuspecting passerby's but somewhere along the lines i noticed the lovely architecture... i'm not very observant, i always see things that i think are new which aren't... so instead of drawing people i started scribbling this guy out on my wacom

shout out to shaun barrowes - his music is dope. take a look at his new album coming out in a few weeks

why not?

so i sometimes offer to do little announcements as a ploy to get me out of doing actual work for various committees... and sometimes i have more fun doing it than i should. i don't really work too much in print design - but i like to dabble in it.

WARDIR

hi. i'm a cool ward directory.

hi. i'm boring.

you know the drill. new semester time. new directory time. so i had a little bit of spare time and wanted to make a cool ward directory... apparently mine was too cool. they remade it. no hard feelings - i really don't get upset over this kinda stuff, but really?! come on. mine was SO much cooler AND it was functional. my version is horizontal so the people that actually have to use it can put it in their binders... ingenious. i think i am going to print off 4 or 5 copies of mine and leave them laying around for a few cool people get. supply vs demand theory. (i removed all personal info of the people for these images. did you notice how they changed my picture?! my cookie monster one is so much cooler.)

what a fun sexy time for you

remember that time that i used to doodle all the time? me too. tender. here are some little portraits of people that i've done while eating out or sitting in meetings... my favorite is 'dirty pop' i don't know why, it just is.

awwww shooOOoooot
