I used this photo as a reference for my very first digital painting. Corel Painter isn't nearly as frightening as I had thought. 

Graphite-Stained Wretch

Some random graphite stuff from the week including environmental sketches for my thesis project.

It's been a while...

I started this blog a couple years ago as a means of escape from a dreary office job, but since then I've quit that job, moved to San Francisco, entered a graduate program in illustration, got married, became a Navy wife and relocated to Jacksonville, FL. Now I've got drawings and sketches and art coming out of my ears, so I'm re-upping the blog.

Cheers!

I'd never leave the house...

...but I'd entertain all the time.

Obsessed

I love houses. The more crafty the house, the more often I'm going to want to wander by and stare at it. I am in hog heaven here in SF, especially after living in LA where home architecture gets pretty bland. So I've been sketching my neighborhood and all the little Victorian details that I drool over. The result is my own creation above, which satisfied the kid in me that likes drawing geometry and daisies.

Still Drawing...

Being unemployed has its perks (aside from the whole lack of income, and I'm not even going to mention the economy). For instance, I don't think I've drawn this much ever. 

It's been like I'm making up for lost time.

The New Digs

I've had a few requests (Mom...) for pictures of my new apartment here in San Francisco. 

It's small, but sunny.
