A Few New Faces

Hey everyone,

I'm busy trying to finish my Sketchbook Project before the deadline, as well as finishing some scholarship essays, and preparing to go out of town, so this is going to be a short update. I just wanted to share a few of the art pieces that I've done over my break thus far.

These are the newest prospective art pieces for my AP Studio Art Portfolio.

 

This will be my last post of this year, which will mark the (almost) year anniversary of my blog. I can't wait to keep sharing my creative endeavors in the year to come.

Happy (almost) New Year, everyone!

A 2012 Video

Hello all,

I am finally on winter break!

And this means that I have finally had some time to actually do some creative things just for fun. But I finished the semester being pretty sick, so I haven't actually been feeling up to really creating.

But as I've been recovering, I started organizing all of the files on my external hard drive and found a fair amount of clips that I have never used for anything. So, I stitched together a video using all of the random clips of unused video from 2012, and I think it shows a little bit of what I've been up to this year. The songs used are by Don DiLego and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes.

I really liked being able to look at all of this film from the year, and I think that in the upcoming year I may try to bring my camera with me on more of my adventures. Hopefully next year I'll have another one of these videos to share!

I hope that you all are having a lovely holiday season!

Ties, ties, ties!

This month has been a crazy flurry of stress for me. My current state of applying for college has been keeping me quite busy, as I juggle my time with both applications and school work. Art has moved from being a fun, creative outlet to yet another component of stress. I have deadlines to follow for my AP Studio Art Portfolio, the looming Janurary 15th deadline for The Sketchbook Project, as well as a separate Moon Journal/Sketchbook that I am trying to make an entry in every day. So, in my free time over the past two months, I have taken on a new project that involves no actual deadlines or any requirement to ever be finished. It exists as a means for me to have an art-related project that is simply for my own entertainment and stress relief. And now that I have completed a few of the paintings, I would like to share with you the first four pieces in my series of nebula ties.
