Original charcoal drawing modified version after Michelangelo Crucifixion of Christ.
This drawing took me 15 hours to draw over 5 days,because you really can't draw what you don't understand. I had a book of artists anatomy by my side as I drew each major part.
I drew this.
Procrastination is a scary thing... I still have a lot of things to do. Nevertheless, I am happy for what I've done during the Spring Break.
I blogged here.

W. Halsey Wood, Architect
Drawn from a picture in American Country Houses of the Gilded Age by Arnold Lewis
Lewis writes:
"this was a most unusual and striking house, a distinctive manifestation of the design tendencies of the early 1880s. "
He also notes that some of the woodwork and trim gives the impression of interior trim that has mistakenly been placed on the outside. What is curious to me is the brick work. The bricks were lain rather haphazardly, some in arbitrary patterns, others in neat courses. It almost looks as though two masons were working right next to each other but paying absolutely no attention to what the other one was doing.
Lewis further writes that the house, which stood at Arlington and Park Avenues has been razed. It was built for French, a dealer in coal and wood.
It's one of my many favorites from the book. And apparently it had some contemporary fans as well, as there is a house in Cincinnati, Ohio that is clearly a copy of this plan and elevation. The designer (plagiarizer?) of the Cincinnati house however, toned down some of the starkness and razor-sharp edges of the original house and did the details in a more "traditional" Colonial Revival-esque mode.
It does not make quite as bold an artistic statement as Wood's original concept, but I'm very glad to see a derivative of his fantastic work still standing as an homage to the original.

Here is my info graphic poster on Asian Carp. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. I went for a kind of bright in your face color palette to kind of match some of the asian info graphic styles I found on the internet. I want to keep my fish the focal point and keep him all white because he was so detailed and kind of use all the other supporting elements to lead your eye to drawing. Iniitially I had a really different tail to my fish but it was really awkward and didn't flow very well, so i scrapped the back half of the fish and started from scratch and i think it turned out really well.
