more is more December 12

yeah there's more stuff up. I skipped a couple (they're in my sketchbook, I just didn't scan'em). here they are. Want to do the three wise men but I haven't been able to find a good image of them.

end of the world December 5

ah, not much to say, really. Did another sketch of Reivel last night. Need to do another; it probably won't get up 'till tomorrow. Not like it matters. Thinking of jumping mythologies again. But it's with the sketches again. Same routine. At the bottom.

commemoratio sacratissimi cordis iesu December 3

ad iesum autem cum venissent, ut viderunt eum iam mortuum, non fregerunt eius crura, sed unus militum lancea latus eius aperuit, et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua. . haurietis aquas in gaudio. . de fontibus salvatoris. . oremus: deus, qui nobis in corde filii tui, nostris vulnerato peccatis, infinitos dilectionis thesauros misericorditer largiri dignaris concede, quaesumus; ut illi devotum pietatis nostrae praestantes obsequium, dignae quoque satisfactionis exhibeamus officium. per eundem dominum ... amen.

ave maria December 1

For those of you who like the Virgin Mary, I found the ←de Saisset Museum site that has some really nice Mexican devotional art. Santa Clara's a little far, so I don't see myself making it there in the flesh anytime soon. But I did a sketch I'm fairly pleased with of the Virgin Mary. A little more graphic than my usual stuff, so it's a nice change. anyway, it's here at the bottom, again, after the one I did yesterday.

more sketches November 30

Ahh, this past week-ish, especially this past couple of days have been... Interesting. All in all very, very good. Simple Thanksgiving -- would this be the first time I've celebrated Thanksgiving in 5 years? -- but really nice. Also went on a quest for a diner. I'm convinced WA doesn't have diners, but found a bubble tea place. I had Taro Milk tea, which made me ridiculously happy. (well, the whole night, really. But the tea made it) Anyway, in contrast to the good times, and the new project (another one) that I'm getting in to, and finally feeling productive again, there's anxiety, and ... Ah. Stuff. Melancholy. Stress. et cetera. There's the easy, tame issues like money. Other stuff, naturally. But as far as things I actually feel comfortable getting in to, the fact that I rely on my friends as a safety net far more than I ever realized. Or relied, rather, because I'm imagining a large part of my ... malaise is being away from that safety net. Human contact. Hell, physical contact is more important than I'd realized. It's strange, having been so used to it, regularly greeting friends with a hug or just a simple handshake. I mean, yeah, it's nice, but I never thought I'd miss it. Anyway, I did a simple, fun, quick sketch. And a while ago I'd scanned some of my old figure studies from Printmaking. So I threw them together into a little sketch gallery. The new one's at the bottom. It's a little free-er, and messier, than I usually do (if that's possible). I can't exactly place what draws me too it -- in part, I like the traces left by changing my mind about the position of the head -- but there's definite problems with it. Even given that it's pretty stylized, there's problems with the anatomy. Shading's done relatively well for me not really giving it any thought, but I could have, well, given it some thought. Ah well. It's there, I like it. That's all, folks.
