update on a mother's love.

Quickie, inspired by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber's Whiteout, on post-it note.

a mother's love

A painting in progress for school - I'm changing my direction a bit, and taking a look at filial cannibalism in hamsters! So far this one is really tough to tackle and I keep on reworking it, reworking all the different parts. I like the visual of the mother hamster literally just STUFFING her own baby into her mouth though. Hope I can make the image work.

Around a year ago (wow, has it been that long?) I did the "Danielle" painting based off a stock photo. I wanted to do more portraits (particularly some male ones) but never got around to it! Well, last night I was suddenly filled with the desire to paint. But there are a lot less male stock photos available and I didn't find one that I liked - so... I asked Tiff to send me some photos of our friends and painted them instead! 8D
Not sure if I captured Alex's likeness... but it was still SO fun, and it's just been forever since I've been able to work with this thick, real, touchable paint that gets on my fingers, and sit in my room staying up til 3am, just painting because I feel like it and I love it!

Two soft pastel drawings in school, still looking at parents' roles in the family.

Hello from Vancouver! I am here for this week, for my spring break.

Went to Granville Island today (IlovethatplaceSOmuch) and was totally captivated by all the vintage scrapbooky stuff there. Was inspired to try and emulate some of the stuff there. Drew this cardinal, slapped it on a wallpaper from cgtextures, tried my best to write in an artsy manner, and just played around with it. The effects are from the Photobucket image editor XD It's surprisingly useful! Anyway, I can't tell if these images are of horrible quality or if it's just the screen on this computer. Apologies if they are fuzzy.
