Stencil cut from this photo Vik took.
I like the stencil because it looks like something from an '80s record cover.
Stencil madness, experimenting for my enamel class at art school
This is the image that I will be using for the front cover of my upcoming sketchbook. It will be a collection of sketches & finished pieces that I have completed between 2008 & 2009, 28 pages in full color, though very likely more.
If you catch me at a convention this year, they will run you a cool $10. :) Otherwise they'll be $12.50, which includes first-class shipping anywhere in the world.
I plan on sending this to the printer soon!

I really got sick of hardbacks, so have been replacing the covers of some sketchbooks I bought AGES ago with Felt ones. This poor kitty has been falling apart over the months.
Yes, I know it's July, I'm actually a year and a month behind... so there. June's intro in my nature journal. Stabilo pens. Poem by Lowell.
1. Semester BA
Stacked boxes and triangles
Fineliner on paper, A4
During this class we had to draw geometrical forms, mostly boxes,
for weeks. It startet with parallel boards, later parallel stacked boxes were added, even later non-parallel boxes and then finally some triangles and ellipses.
After that some weeks of nude life drawings followed.
At the end we draw some more "free" stuff like bikes, skeletons, cloths.

Natural history museum dinosaur sketches and dragon design ideas for my myths and legends project
This is a sample sketchbook page of my current A2 studies into how my selected artists convey the natural beauty of flowers. Danielle O'Connor Akiyama uses really loose and expressive feel towards her work and I wanted to look at using collograph prints to show my interpretation of this.
As some of you may know, I work in a preschool. Just before finishing up for the summer of 2008 one of the kids gave me a present. His mum apologized in advance for it, saying that he had seen it while shopping and demanded he get it for me as a gift.
Curious about what it could be, I immediately opened it, finding this cover on a ring-bound notepad. I was stunned. It was the perfect gift for me, not only because of the Marvel heroes on the cover, but because I knew that he had picked it out. Usually we get chocolates or wine or some random trinket from parents at the end of the year, and while I am always grateful for anything I get, I know that they are things the parents bought. This was something that the kid picked out just for me. He knew I liked Spider-Man and the Hulk so he picked it out and bought it. Not his parents, who were embarrassed to be giving me a notepad. But it was the perfect gift.
I knew right away that i had to do something special with this, and I told him and his parents that I would bring it to America with me and fill it with wondrous things before returning in September.
I did have to cheat a little. It was a ruled notepad inside. So i went to an art store and bought an identically sized sketchbook with the same binding and beautiful, high quality paper. Then I swapped the covers, and had this, an awesome cover on my awesome sketchbook.
I was ready for SDCC 2008. I had hoped to get at least a portion of the book filled. Twenty sketches would be nice, and a few autographs. If I could manage that, I'd be happy.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have predicted what would happen next.
The rest of this set is filled with all of the sketches and just some of the signatures I was gifted by incredible people over four days at San Diego Comic Con, 2008.
