New Work Posted!
April Rock 1, 2, & 3
Pen & Ink on Drawing Paper, 3” x 5”
I can’t believe I didn’t upload these sooner. I just finished uploading the photos of my BJR STUDIO 366/ Project 365 on flickr. I made a goal to document my work in progress everyday of 2012 and I am doing a pretty good damn job! I am going to start uploading each one, each day as I go because catching up and keeping the dates straight is a real headache!
I also uploaded some other things that were never blogged about. So definitely check out the flickr to see artwork you haven’t seen on here. Hope you are having a great weekend. MAKE SOMETHING and make me proud!
#photofriday #4
Yes, that’s a bird’s nest. No, that is not an egg. It’s a river rock! Creek stones and river rocks are dear to my heart. I also collected some common cactus flowers, baby tears, ferns, and lots of other tidbits today. It was beautiful out before 3 and I just wanted to get dirt under my fingernails. I replanted some cacti and started working on a small terrarium. Unfortunately, it started pouring down rain and I didn’t want to stand under the thunder.
I am going to fill my night with Tom Petty, cheap beer, and library books. Might take a night off from making art because it’s been such an eventful week. Good things are coming though, so cut me some slack, eh?! A guest post on Monday, Brandi’s Color Palette Blog Walk is on Wed, and Emily’s Color Collection/June is White is this month! Also, Chongolio found something pretty neat called 30 Days of Creativity for June. If that isn’t enough to get you inspired and creating, something’s wrong! Have a junebug-in-a-pitcher-of-lemonade kind of weekend! (that’s a very good thing for you non-country folk)
Hump Day Hooplah
Monday night I was in a way. Do you ever just get in a funk? I was so deep in an art block bog, swamped with chaos and brainmush I nearly fainted! I did what I always do, cleaned my workspace up and re-organized the stuff so I could see straight. After working all weekend on my 3TT collages I thought a change would be nice. (I started so many secret projects this past holiday weekend! I was exhausted) I got rid of all the colorful stuff and went back to my graphite. I just wanted to sketch with pencil just to get myself back in the groove. Luckily, it worked and I am back on my A+ game.
The photos above are just some quick sketches of guys with big noses and no eyes. Not sure what I’ll do with them, because they aren’t final or needed for anything in particular. I scanned the stopping point so you could see where my mind was. Can you believe it’s already the middle of the week, and the end of the month!? Crazy…
