Wow! new update.

Ok, long Story short: One week spring break + one week with killer cold + one weekend on the road = no updates for almost a month, finding yourself behind in most classes and lots of self-loathing.

Good news: I'm 95% over the cold, its warm outside again and I just read Watchmen.

Did a lot of sketches from watchmen of the character Rorschach who I liked a lot. I also practiced some figure drawing and did some studies of Mark Ryden. I like how well Ryden can juxtapose seemingly unrelated objects and I'm interested by the odd creatures he comes up with. I wanted to study him mostly for his creatures though, I have a concept for an oil painting that I think his work could help inform.

I also recommend watchmen (the graphic novel, haven't seen the movie yet). It really turned me on the the comic style of basic inked figures colored in with watercolor, I'm going to try and borrow a book of Little Nemo in Slumberland comics from a friend to study it more.
