accidentally sophia loren

These were from life drawing last week, the model was awesome. I love this pose and expression of hers, I felt like she was channeling Sophia Loren or something. I could totally see her being this Southern Italian housewife (fishwife?) who then gave birth to generations of Sopranos, LOL.

More to come from this same class. It was a good day.

life drawing: the myth of perseus, part 2

He wasn't playing Perseus the entire time... sometimes he was Perseus' grandfather, sometimes he was Perseus, sometimes, some other guy. And no gesture lasted more than 10 seconds. So it was interesting.

be BOLD.
be resolute.
be cheerful.
be happy.
be confident.
smile!

I think he has no idea, how grateful I was to hear his words.

Wait, I forgot to put that under 18 nudity disclaimer.

life drawings: the myth of perseus

reorganization, needed it is.

I'm currently not liking the way this blog has been so disorganized. It's like I just use it to dump artwork because people need to view it online. I haven't put a lot of thought into it and this irks me. I don't like doing things without a lot of thought.

So I might shut down for a few days just to gather stuff and rethink, what is the purpose of this blog? It's also currently not very well designed. I know I'm not going to spend a lot of time into designing the page but something which serves as an online presence deserves better treatment from me than what it's been getting.

Probably I will have a separate 'official portfolio' blog and this one would just be for other stuff. Feh.

mrs. peacock

I'd forgotten about these designs. They are based on David Sedaris' description of his bizarre nanny, Mrs. Peacock. I did an animal version, of Mrs. Peacock as a demented lady peacock carrying her signature dish of sloppy joes (I myself have horror memories of sloppy joes from the school cafeteria, ugh). I did a human version too but I like the weird molting bird woman better :)
