Stop. Eject. Flip to Side B.

After a summer of things not going quite as planned, I am ready to shake off the disappointment and look forward. I was aware of how hard things were going to be after graduation and I am prepared for what's coming my way. Thanks to an opportunity that came my way today, I am working on landing a project that will hopefully open the door to new possibilities. I am revived with new goals to reach and so inspired that I've been sketching all day!

Life is pretty much a series of overwhelming obstacles and challenges but sometimes the simplest words from someone can give you a moment of clarity that's all you need to turn it all around. That's all it took to snap me out of it and get back to what matters.

New sketches & work to be posted soon - so stay tuned! For now I'll leave you with something that made me smile today:

Final WtWTA piece

...(maybe)

Amost done...

Here's where I am with my Where the Wild Things Are piece...



It's cut-paper, acrylic & ink in a shadowbox. I'm going to add some more bushes in the foreground and in front of the trees in the background.

More Hughes Sketchin'

Just a few of my favorite characters & favorite quotes.

Duckie and John

Here's a sketch for yet another project idea I'm hoping to work on. In memory of John Hughes - quite possibly the greatest writer/producer/directors in my lifetime - I want to do a piece commemorating him and the characters he brought to life on the big screen. This one of Duckie, (of Pretty in Pink), who happens to be my personal favorite.

Summer Sketchin'

Idea I started sketching in honor of the Where the Wild Things Are movie. Planning on making it a full-fledged illustration.
