I'm working on this painting about a boy who is in the freezer of a restaurant eating all the food.  I'm taking a break from it for a few days because I'm running into a lot of problems with it.  A lot of things are becoming hard to read and things aren't pushing and pulling the way they should be.  To be continued...      any suggestions?

So I used the rest of my clay from the traffic cone to sculpt a face.  There was a picture I found online of this boy in Africa and I just went from there. I'm starting to like sculpting. Time to buy some more clay!

So...I painted on an awesome, dirty, original, New York City traffic cone! It represents Queen Victoria. Check it out! It helped me discover my love for paper clay!

I realized how much I love using matte medium after doing this project, especially for the big spider.  Yay, Little Miss Muffet!... I mean, poor Little Miss Muffet.

The first three are from the Pratt Drawathon which was so amazing.  I stayed from 7pm to 7am. Yes! I really could draw for a whole day straight.  The painting of my mom's face got selected to be in the Illustration House Gallery. Last but not least, the one with the scissors is depicting the idiom "Splitting Hairs"...or , should I say "Splitting Hares."

So this week I've realized that cutting back on unnecessary gestural lines really works. These are more simplified than what I usually do. Yay!
