...However, I've compiled some completed works and others I have yet to finish...and doodles, because they are so [much] more interesting [most of the time]. Click on the images, or open them in new tabs to enlarge.
Sketch, 2008.
I love environments that seem to be too busy- I've yet to find an actual place that feels like this, but once I do..I'll have to stop and draw it..Until then, I live to create spaces that have no sense but convey many ideas.
Global Marshall Plan Illustration, for Tikkun Magazine. Mixed Media on watercolor paper. 2008.
The Global Marshall Plan, also known as the "Strategy of Generosity" is based on:
"reestablish trust and hope among the peoples of the world so that we might begin to reflect and act coherently on ending world poverty in our lifetimes and saving the global environment from the almost certain destruction it faces unless we reverse our policies and give highest priority to protecting the earth. Instead of asking 'what serves the interests of American economic and political geo-power best?' we want a foreign policy that asks 'What best serves all the people on this planet and best serves the survival of the planet itself?' " (Network of Spiritual Progressives)
Untitled. Plaster & Acrylic. 2008
A basic exploration of the color wheel, I loved this project.
Shh, It is Hand-Made. Mixed media on paper. 2008
I love to do labor-intensive, detailed work. I love being focused on one area and detailing until there is no more to work on, ha. Its title is not to demonstrate that it is "photo-realistic" [I don't quite agree with those who say it is], but rather an inside joke between the professor and I with my wonky use of ellipses in regards to the candleholder. Most people can not tell, but the trained eye can easily spot my flaw- however, since the candleholder was hand-made, I gravitated toward that excuse...
Fullerton College, 300 Building. Ink on Vellum. 2008.
As Fullerton College approaches its (75th? 100th?) anniversary providing a great education, I'd like to eventually make a copy of the original and maybe add some color. They might actually take it in, no?
That is all for now, I'll have to scan in some life drawing gestures [always fun] and more doodles.
Until then, The Gomez is out.
