Observations of a Rennes at night.
A tradition I developed back in Seattle was that I would go for a long walk and admire the beauty of the city. October 2007 I go for a walk on Capitol Hill. Its raining hard. I put Hang Me Out to Dry by the Cold Wars Kids on repeat. Or rather I just pushed…

The man in the fishbone suit.
One of my professors has been wearing an old fishbone suit jacket. Only 1.5 of the buttons remain on the cuff of his left sleeve. I found the patern to be interesting though and wanted to see how it would look applied as a texture. It seems to have worked for the most part (even…

Two pages.
One of the problems that I constantly run into when I have two art classes is that I don’t always know how to divvy up my time so that I work on all projects at the same pace and intensity. I feel like my comic has been neglected as I have tried to figure out…

A dream of a catacombe filled with antiques.
At an old château we wander the grounds to find part of the building old and in ruins, but an arch over head has a skull inbeded in it. Marking a catacombe. We open the cellar doors and decend. Pictures of pop culture line the way. Once down in the catacombes it appears as if everything is arraged…

Initial layers of acrylic.
I have found that the encre de chine is not actually water proof so as I try to paint in where the chinese lanters will be going the black ink mixed in with the white paint. Hopefully this will stop happening once I build up a few layers of paint. I like the direction this…

A lazy dimanche in Rennes.
Bringing a bit of Paris with me, in the sense of simple breakfast food. I made myself a bagette with butter and jam for breakfast. A bagette that has lasted me days in making the same meal multiple times. The crust has become hard and crumbly, but the center has remained soft. Last night I…

Adding the shutters.
I worked most of today on this, but yet in looking at it so little of it looks changed. Perhaps it is just the calm before the storm. I was hoping that the mixture that I had made with my acrylic would be more of a wood grain color and not this blue green hue,…

Warm drinks on cold nights.
A cold night and bar hopping around. The enterior if this bar is always so gorgeous. The wooden walls. The low beamed ceiling. The old picture frames on the walls. But the dance music last night just didn’t fit, but like many things, perhaps that is why it fits. A pastis served in a tumblr.…

A new/continued beginning.
I decided to move my blog that had been on Tumblr over to here. Perhaps give another community a try. It seems like Tumblr is more for just posting random images, so my attempt to use it as a blog was me fighting to make something that it wasn’t. Now I just have to go…

Continuation of the painting of the unobservant man.
Still working in this painting and feeling as though I am moving ‘at a snail’s pace,’ which I believe my prof thought the same since he said that it seems like I haven’t worked on it too much since last week. I really look forward to reaching the point where I will be able to…
