Drawing & Painting 1

June '04: "Eat Pikachu"; pastel (for art class)

This is, indeed, a very scary picture. But it's good. Admit it! ...Or not. Anyways, this was a self portrait assignment, and because I was sick of all the girls in my class drawing themselves plainly, I drew myself gnawing on my plushie's head. Needless to say, when I hung it up for critiquing, I got quite a few comments and, "OMG WTF SCARY!"'s. It doesn't actually look like me. I swear I don't make that face often.

May (?) '04: "Morphing Object"; colored pencil, graphite, charcoal (for art class)

The class assignment was to morph one object into each other in four panels. Of course, hating the assignment, I got around it as best as I could. It should be viewed from right to left. My only other comment about this drawing is that, God, was it fun to break a christmas ornament.

February/March '04: "Childhood Object Drawing"; colored pencil (done for art class)

I didn't really have many good "childhood objects" lying around, so I drew a cluster of lincoln logs and this odd little painted, wooden structure I made in 4th grade art class.

January '04: "Bunny Doll"; black and white charcoal (art class midterm assignment)

Done on red paper, it actually DOES have a theme: Anime convention. Although I wouldn't tell anyone. It's an admission pass attatched to a chain, lying on top of this odd little "plushie" I bought there. If you're familiar with anime, it's Rabi en Rose from Digi Charat. If not, it's basically a person dressed in a very frilly outfit, with massive pink pigtails and bunny ears. Also, I am fully aware that it resembles the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz, who was smushed under a house.

December '03: "Tabletop Portrait"; black and white charcoal

Done on brown paper- is a materialistic self portrair. Consists of a sketchbook, earphones, a keyboard, and a manga. Went to a "Small Works" show for high school students at Pace University.
