Part 2 of College Art Work

SO HOT!!!!! Today it is 97 degrees in Southern Vermont. Not cool man, not cool. I am melting and not enjoying this day at all. I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.

Enough with my complaining and whining about the heat. Today is another day for ART POSTS!!! WHHHHOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOO!!!! Well I am excited I am not sure about you guys though. I thought I had some of my animations with me, but it turns out I completely forgot to dump them on to my thumb-drive before leaving school. Which is a complete bummer because I thought I could show you all how I progressed from being EXTREMELY horrible at frame-by-frame traditional animation to an adequate level. Well maybe I can get a hold of the copy of all my work that my Professor has next semester. Here is some more of my work.

 "Duck Attack" Sketch scanned, manipulated with PhotoShop CS6

This piece was for my Digital Arts class. We had to take a hand draw element and add it with a computer made element. The background is a picture that I take at my old house. I heavily manipulated the photo to give it the creepy feeling. The duck was a quick sketch that I scanned in and colored in in PhotoShop.

 "Untitled" Photo manipulated with PhotoShop CS5.5

This piece is also for my Digital Arts class. This photo is of my back yard of my current home. This photo is heavily manipulated. 

"Night Castle" manipulated in PhotoShop CS6

This piece was also for my Digital Arts class. This was our first assignment just trying to show the Professor what we can  do with some photos and PhotoShop. Within this piece there are four different photos that I have cropped, multiplied, and manipulated to create this piece. All of the photos are from my own shock.

So that is it for this post. Tomorrow I am going to be picking up my friend who is going to be staying with me and my family for ten days, so I am not sure when I am going to be posting. However, the last past is going to be up tomorrow some time. I have nothing more to say today. Wow, I am really drawing a blank. Sorry. Until next time, keep hydrated and cool, but enjoy the sun! Remember take pictures of your summer fun!

Part 1 of College Art Work

So before I even start with this post about my art work I have something to tell everyone! You all know that in school you don't really see too much TV or know what new channels there are unless you are home or at someone's house. Today I was REALLY bored and decided to channel surf and came across this gem, Ovation. It is a network all about the arts and bringing them to the people. Today I watched some documentaries about Baroque art and one about Manet. I was soooo thrilled! You have to check it out! Here is a link to their website http://www.ovationtv.com/.

Alright back to the show. The real reason for this post was to show what I have been working on throughout this year/semester.

"Wax Dragon" Created in PhotoShop CS6

This piece was for my Illustration class. We had to mix two words together and create something out of them and I chose wax and dragon. Personally, I want to push it a little more before I put it in my final portfolio, but I think it turned out pretty good. 

"Self" Created in PhotoShop CS6

This piece was for my Digital Arts class. We had to make self portraits and I hate having my picture taken, so I drew myself. I added other drawings that I have done to show that I have different styles. 

"Alice Falling" Created in PhotoShop CS5.5

This piece was for my Digital Arts class. This was the free project that we could do whatever we wanted to do. So I took the classic "Alice and Wonderland" and flipped it upside down. I feel like that this piece is the most representational of my style and what I can do than all of my other pieces and I am very proud of it.

So this is it for this round. Next time I am thinking that there is going to be more or maybe some of my animations that I managed to get off the sever before leaving school. We shall see tomorrow, won't we? Until next time, enjoy the sunshine and the blue skies! Oh and take pictures of your summer fun because you never know what memories you are going to capture. 

It Has Been a While....

I am a horrible person. So I thought I was going to be blogging at least once a day since I started. Well you all see how well that turned out. -_- Please bare with me while I try and scramble together  my art work that I have made over the semester and show you all. Sorry again for abandoning everything, but life got the better of me. So I think it is time for NEW GOALS!!!!

Goals:
1) Blog everyday. I NEED ROUTINE!
2) Move up to friend's house and find job. The life of the adult.
3) Start apartment hunting. Need to start living the life.
4) MAKE ART!!!!

These goals sound easy enough, right? Ha, I am soo failing...... BE POSITIVE!!!! I can do this, hopefully. So most of the goals are about me moving up to my friend's house and starting the oh-so-awesome job hunting. What would be really great is if I could work in like some gallery or at some day care and do crafts with the kids. Jobs, why are there so few of them.

Anyway, tomorrow I am going to post some of my work. I am thinking it is going to take three posts to get everything in and to say what I need to say. So keep an eye out for them. Hopefully this summer goes smoothly for me as well as everyone else out there. Until next time, enjoy life and never give up.
