Sketchbook 2009.

the custom titling done.

Tried my hand at some custom lettering and then decided to cut it up and remix it with some other things. :)

This is actually just a base for the poster.

What I see happening with this, maybe, is to have everyone who has contributed to Morgan M. Morgansen write out either their real name or handle in their own handwriting, and have all of the signatures encompass the heart. After all, each one of them had a hand in creating this project into what it's become, so everyone deserves some ownership of the poster, too. :)

This is actually 12x18 and 300 dpi (CMYK), but obviously scaled down so as not to eat up bandwidth.

Colour-corrected. That green in the last one was unsightly. I uploaded this somewhere else to test before this, so it should work now.

Sorry for the re-upload. =\

I did this the day v4 came out for various reasons and it seems to fit here as well. I'm nearing my 2 years with this place and it's been quite a ride. I have trust in what's to come with hitRECord and am extremely excited!

The image was missing so I uploaded the image again.

My first RECord!

This painting was my first attempt at abstract art.

I'm hoping this actually uploads, my first ever RECord!

A pen & ink done by yours truely.

Cusp Child

My personal favorite piece of mine.
For well Trees are kinda my thing.
( They keep my inner child going... I climb 'em and Play in forts!! And hello, Oversized Swings hanging from Oaks.... mmm mmm)
Anyways they are one of the greater symbols of LIFE.
In our roots, are our family and love!
Our faith is in our branches
And we are the knobby trunks.. (woop woop)
Our love and faith make us beautiful! =)
<3

Well, I'm no artist, or animator, but I wanted to contribute something visual to "The New Deal"... so here it is. I hope you enjoy it! I'm gonna be honest with you and tell you that I think it's pretty nifty, considering my art skills. :)

This was a recent Final Visual Exam for one my Graphic Design classes from this last semester. We had to present it in minimal form and then in full color and detail. We had to write a story with the visuals, so I wrote a poem.

I think this would be great to take even further as a short film, either live or animated, storyboards, with narration of the poem, etc...

The Balloon

There was a little girl who lost her balloon.
It left her hand, oh too soon.
She watched and cried as it slowly took drift.
Through the Central Park trees,
Where the wind took it so swift.

It rose high in the sky, faster and faster.
The little girl felt ill and proclaimed a disaster.
Higher and higher it bounced with a bobble,
As it danced in mid-air with a twirl and a wobble.

With a swoop and a swirl,
It was witnessed by a poor little girl.

As it floated above, beyond New York City,
She gasped and muttered,
“Oh my, what a pity.”

The balloon started to climb ever so high.
She could see its red color against the blue sky.
Amongst the clouds, it flew fast and fierce.
And through a flock of birds, they did not pierce.

Relieved from the sight, the little girl cried with delight,
Because her balloon survived a very rough flight.
Wiping the tears away from her eye,
She knew it was time to say a goodbye.

The little girl marveled at her now-distant balloon,
As it soared closer and closer towards a full moon.
“I know you’ll make it,” she said, “you'll be there soon.”

With a smile and a wink from her right eye,
She waved goodbye and let out a big sigh,
“Don’t worry, I’ll be here, I’ll be all right...
Cause I’ll see you going around the moon,
When I look out my window each night.”

my hand, kinda weird?

baloons flying away

much like LEON NOEL, I drew this guy with a story in mind. I drew him, named him 'the owl king' before I had heard of the band 'owl city'. and gave the original to a friend. I like his look, though. I feel like there's a lot that could happen with this guy. I sometimes wonder what he's looking at and why he seems a little nervous. and why he's wearing that headband.

[pencil / watercolor]

I drew this from a real orchid

big chair

two boxers blocking each others' blocks is a funny image to me.

[marker]

this is a character I drew to eventually use in a story of some sort. I ended up just drawing him, naming him and putting it away. I'd love for narrative-minded people to see this and to hear what comes to mind for them.

[pencil / marker]

cheeseburgers are a funny thing to me. when I think of america, I think of cheeseburgers. the bigger and sloppier the better.

this is just a portrait of my roommate twon.

a regular guy with purple hair, green skin and yellow teeth.

I drew this from a bowl of eggs out in my back yard right before sundown.

just a cup

this cup has infinite possibilities!

The clouds above let loose of all colors and patterns, hope it to be useful.

A garage I passed on the Upper East Side, NYC, with some pretty damn cool graffiti adorning it.

Recording dreams.

La mienne est la mer

This is a marker sketch I did of Brando as Colonel Walter E. Kurtz in "Apocalypse Now."

I recently compiled a list of the Top 10 monologues in movie history - just for the hell of it - and I almost had Brando's "Ohio River" speech crack the front five. What an amazing performance he gave, despite the contradictory nature of his on-set behavior.

In all the years since '79 rarely has the screen felt the presence and awe Brando created with that very peculiar performance.

Mixed Media

I did this quick cartoon sketch of my friend Billy lighting up a cigarette.

Acrylic paint on canvas sheet

The White Wall :B

:)

Originally to celebrate v3's 10,000 records mark, a good HitRECord friend and I went out for some victory ice cream, but failed to record our experience. And so, in celebration of this landmark occasion in HitRECord and new media history, I present you with a reinterpretation of the said ice cream.

VICTORY IS OURS.

Sketch of Zach

Phil Dupertuis album artwork

Doodle of a dog I used to spend more time with.

Doodle of Morgan M. Morgansen.

THis drawing kind of just came out of nowhere, like out of my subconscience, but I think that it represents life; the road at the bottom is the journey of life that leads you through love, learning( the eye), new life(seal) and with it death( the tree on fire). It is the cyle of life; or it can mean something else, its all in ones perspective. Hope someone can do something with this. Thanks

I didn't have a real teddy bear so I drew one. For the Teddy Bear Rebellion for gweninterrupted.

a digital sketch

another tegakie doodle. i love to draw windblown hair. disney princesses are a subconcious influence on me.

she sits in a corner
tryin to hide from it all
she grabs on to what she can
because she knows shes about to fall
she tries to hide her pain
from the wonderers of the world
she tries to make herself as small as possible
hunched up with her back curled
she knows that everyone sees her
and that they all know
she tried to hide herslef
from the feelings of her soul

a digital sketch

i love this shade of yellow, and the pink is my favorite color recently. this reflects my obsessions with hair, and freckles. drawn on tegakie.

Yay! I managed to crank out another before this neat-o day was over.

Happy 01022010!

After a while...I rememberd the joy of playing with oil pastel colours...
"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it."~Vonnegut

An old marker sketch I did of a man that reminded me of a visiting martian.

I received a sketch book back in college going back a few years and I really need to get back into it.

Slip on a Banana Peel the Worlds at Your Feet

<3

!!!!!
So as the hand was getting closer to midnight I tried to think of what could possibly be my first doodle of the year. Then I really put some thought into it and realized not only would this be the first doodle of the year but the first doodle of the decade!

I was stumped. So I figured the wide world web would be of some help and it would also be a nice way to introduce myself to this year.

I made a post on my tumblr asking for help/input on what my doodle for the new year would be. I knew it would get my mind ticking and it did. I had an overwhelming response!

It was really hard to pick but what narrowed it down was the following. I wanted to be a bit challenged but at the same time I wanted it to be quite simple because that's exactly how I would this year to be like, ha. I also wanted to blend myself within the requester's idea:

"Doodle a unicorn flying a "Amelia Earhart" style airplane, scarf and goggles and all, perhaps through some clouds. :)"

And this is what came from it.

(Be on the look out though, I now have a list of awesome requests. Many of which involve zombie. C'mon, who doesn't love the undead!?)

Anyway, happy 01022010!

This is my first attempt ever at abstract painting with mixed media. I pasted a few pieces of paper at the canvas and after that I randomly threw paint at it. (My workplace needed a few hours of cleaning after I was done.)

A painting of mine I manipulated in Photoshop.

Something that I did for the Lovesplosion sequence.

Inkblots used for Morgan's lovesplosion test. Maybe others could find some use for this in the future. :)

This is not the time for debate

A close up of a painting... hated it at first, and in an attempt to ruin it it became nice.

Dot: It's a rock.
Flik: Oh, I know it's a rock, I know. But let's just pretend for a minute that it's a seed, alright? We'll just use our imaginations. Now, now do you see our tree? Everything that made that giant tree is already contained inside this tiny little seed. All it needs is some time, a little bit of sunshine and rain, and voil

This covers up around the first 30 seconds of the song, just to start things up.

First frame: a reflection of a girl on a mirror

2nd F: the girl and the mirror face to face as if the mirror's actually a person

3rd&4th F: her nanny/mother comes and kisses her goodnight.

5th&6th F: She gets pulled down to her bed or sucked into the mirror and floats into the air, with her jamies like a parachute as she lands into a road..

7th&8th F: She notices that she's in another world and her journey begins!

I MADE A colab proposal! or project? or something.. :DDD

thanks to jennyffer.maria and metaphorest

I hope Jennyfer.Maria doesn't mind that I am constantly playing with her beautiful drawings. After a long day, it's great to just practice my photoshop skills and chill out. Thanks all :D

Possible sketch of a table for Morgan's date?

meow
Madame Ballofur, (omg, get it? ahaha!)
Edit: February 10, 2010 - So this little feline finally gets her prissy moment! Originally Lawrie had asked me to doodle a kitty for Morgan but recalling from the Morgan debut (http://www.hitrecord.org/records/14976), it was Destiny that had a cat. Unnamed, I began to doodle. When I was done and I began to upload I thought hmmm, let me take a stab at naming this cat. So I tried to "think like Sarah" luckily I was in her head long enough to think up something that till this day blows my mind because it's so clever (I get excited because I don't think I'm clever at all so this is an accomplishment for me. lol) I added the Madame because... well, look at that cat!

...sir mohawk falls for the first time...

:DD
i was hanging out with my cousins, since they can't celebrate the new year with us. We liked sarahalyse' bus pictures so i made a rec out of one of his works..
i was doing this while Jewel(age 10) wriggled on her seat and Jahnell(age 11) was talking to strangers on her cellphone..

HAPPY NEW YEAR! wish you have another awesome year..

A REmix of alexblackwelder's REmix of Gutterflower's "Portrait of Ink"

A result of my insomnia & the fact that I'm feeling very inspired today. :) All of the flower photos were taken by me, so I'm not jipping anyone of credit here.

a contribution for monsieur triple m..

. . . 60's sitcom poster o___o

Something i doodled up for my first hitRecord post.
kinda looks like 60's sitcom posters..
ooh vintage~

A remix of three RECords. I guess you could call it a flyer or poster? Or maybe just a graphic.

I love the "Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny" project that has been going on here (you all are so talented!), and I've been dying to contribute. I don't have any video skills, however, so I've decided to contribute a grapic/flyer/poster type deal.
I stumbled across IrmaVep's "Substitute Frames" and fell in love with the frame that had the bird on it, so I decided to use that frame as a starting point for my Morgan contribution.
Thank you jenyffer.maria for providing the amazing sketches of Morgan and the personette!

I'm not sure how I feel about the fonts that I used. I don't have any great downloaded ones, so I just used a few of the ones that came with CS2. I have a copy of the image saved without the text, so if any of you have a font that you think would work better and would like to remix this, let me know and I'll upload that one!

Jen & I both got stood up by our HitRECord Secret Santas, so we decided to do a second round so the two of us didn't get to miss out. :)


Merry Christmas Jen! Thanks for making 2009 so freakin sweet! <3

For the "Say Goodbye to 2009" collaboration.

I'm not sure if you'll be able to see it in resized photo, so here's what it says:
Goodbye, 2009.
you have been a wonderful, horrible, monumental
YEAR!
*the year that I celebrated my 18th birthday.
*the year that I was reunited with my sister.
*the year that I graduated from high school.
*the year that my dearest camera, Alberto, was stolen.
*the year that I had a photo on exhibit at the DIA.
*the year that I won two awards for my photography.
*THE YEAR THAT I JOINED hitRECord.org <3
Hello, 2010. you will be GREAT!
And it includes a little cartoon of myself wearing a new year hat, haha.

pencil shavings, heart

A mix of two RECords.

A big thank you to CrashAndBurn and PikiSmiles for inspring me with your RECords. I thought that the image went well with the poem, so I decided to mesh them together in photoshop. I also used the image of a needle from a sewing tutorial that I had saved on my computer, as a visual representation of the phrase, "stitching myself back together."

This is my first attempt at remixing my fellow artists' RECords, I hope you all enjoy it!

Smilier shadows you'll rarely discover. They infect with a giggling from which few recover.

A holiday gift for Tori, figured I release this on its own so you guys can give a bit of a REmix. Yes?

I had trouble with my math homework

so I started drawing this man over my calculations. I decided to color it with oil pastels, I wasn't going anywhere with my math anyway.
I have no clue who it is. But when he woke up one morning he... (the rest of the story is up to you to create)

I have one more math exercise to go!

a more grungy feel..

A Food Penguin delivering a Bunny Baby, Bleedy

Behold!!! The terror!!! Muhahah!

I've been playing around some more with artwork ideas..

this is my first attempt to actually use a legit image editing software, so bear with me...

Here is a colour still (I have a few) from the film Empire I shot, that ended up as black and white.) Hopefully this may prove a useful graphic resource - I've got other artworks I'll upload if useful!

Next I'll ne looking at shooting a really alternative live action Morgan with Metaphorest, and when that higher res copy up of Joe's film is up, deffo taking a look at adding graphics to that too! Any graphics i made i'll share out as resources too obviously!

Oh and if my macabre pics are a bit disturbing (I am somewhat into gothic / dark romantic literature! But im nice really!)

I was playing around with title screen ideas...

thoughts?

Happy Holidays... x

REmixed from Jen's doodle :) & I gave him a little penguin nametag.

The art of detail.

I really liked Suddenly, BEE'S drawing so I played with it a little to make it more graphic like.

Bunnybaby, bleedy.

"On it unlived the corpse of a bunnybaby, its minicular rabbitears as yet unremoved, its olfactory-organ buttonish and evercute."

mushr requested a close up of the bunnybaby and here ya go. I messed up on the bleedy part but left it, maybe someone can make it more bleedish?

I took a 2 day break from Morgan to get my gaming on (I just got my hands on the New Super Mario Bros Wii, ha.) But I now need a break from that, so onward with Morgan! Expect a couple more doodles by the end of tomorrow. :)

dhanyavad. take a look at your computer screen upside down. does it say "thanks" in English?

Close up

"Her headfront was polypainted with fauxface; lips cherried to the max, see-globe hairs enplussed to twin the limbs of arachnomonsters."



Quick note: The camera I usually use to share my stuff with the internet is missing its battery charger. I have a scanner now though but of course it's a generic size. Part of this (and the last Personette piece) has been cut off. I scanned it numerous of times trying to get her all in. Some sacrifices were made but easily reproduced by others if you decide to remix.

That's why we're here after all, to add/finish to others work. :)

"Tardily, the saxifragous personette swavered through the wallhole."

Bleeding Heart : Letter 1

These started out as letters to a lost friend and then turned into letters to myself. They might make sense they might not but they are honest.

Letter 1.

One night we discussed, shared, and discovered a kindred soul. A soul and heart that is deep, that it only makes sense that we must feel more to fill the empty pace. I have never met someone that understood my pain, my passion. The emotions that were so consuming, I drowned in their relentless waves. That night I still wasn

In My World : Letter 5

I love my world to be colorful, creative, and fun. Where I have the power to turn the sky green and the grass blue; and since obviously that

car, held together with a shoestring, determination, going forward, freeways

As I live and work around LA driving is a very big part of my lifestyle. And although some might think spending a quater of their day behind the wheel in traffic maybe dull. I find the best stories and interesting observations on the freeway. IE: On my way to my internship at Under the Radar I witnessed a guy driving to his destination with his driver side door practically falling off. But he was determined to treck on as the driver door was being held shut by being tied through the backdoor window.

Paper Snow Covered California Freeway

Another freeway story.

On a Tuesday around 12 noon there is hardly any traffic on the 10 W. Bound but suddenly the cars slowed to a rush hour speed. There must be an accident I thought, frustrated with people inability to let people

i try. occasionally.

The personette yeuched loudly...

"...a puddle of pre-puke ascending into her facehole as the eatready fluffpet met her see-globes.

The personette

"He horizontalized his neckbow..."

I decided to scan this piece as well because the other one was way too gritty.

I'm working on the foodpenguin now, stay tuned. :)

A linoleum tile print. One of my favorite processes to learn.

This was for an art class that I had in high school. It is a linoleum print. I drew the design, carved the linoleum, and made all of the prints. I have a series of black ones and a series of orange/yellow ones. I hope to make more linoleum prints in the future, they're fun!

From mushr's comment on jenyffer.maria's picture. Also I love Lean In by D Sol. It's not the entire record, just the part I liked most.

art, doodle, design

Just a doodle of hearts I had some fun with.

simply, multiplied it...

Dragon drawing/painting I did from around two years ago.

When it's all to much - keep calm and hitRECord :)
This is going to be my motto from now on. ;)

RESOURCE: inspired by abbyscorn, vinnie.v, Des

I suck at making and editing videos, so I'll just stick to photography and graphics.

Doodle for fellow hitRECorder Jenyffer.maria :)

Doodle, inspired by Jen and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's.

Another sketch I've done, this time of an elephant, not entirely finished though.

A sketch of, basically half an elephant that i quite happily sketched :) It's not entirely finished but, I thought that the tentative side of it has given a good effect.

Alligator Pie

up

I had this dress when I was little covered in roses. It was my favorite and I must have worn it to picture day from ages 7-9. It makes me smile that my mother allowed that.

Lately I've been thinking about how I'm pretty much a grown up now. I mean I don't feel like it but my "problems" do seem to be more adult. I admit that I kinda wish that the drama in my life was more towards figuring out what kind of cereal I want to go with my saturday morning cartoons.

RESOURCE : inspired by _buttercup, K II, and Jedimaster99

hitRECord, love

three very powerful words: again by heart.

"someday I'll find a man who wears shoes as fine as mine..."

As I've said before, nice men's shoes are my weakness...

Argh, I don't know what I'm doing! Today is ridiculous! That is all...

And so after rejoicing in the Regularity they both
looked to one another, reading each others thoughts.

"Now that we're here, is this
the end of the journey?" they pondered.

The Heart answered, "It's only the beginning!"

Celebrating 11.11 the only way I know how, with a doodle!

We're creating a monster, we really are. Monsters aren't all negative, some are cute (and carrying a camcorder.)

:)

It's here, the regularity.

St. Andrews Street, Toronto, ON

For the Street Art collaboration

I saw these amazing drawings and had to use them. Original RECords by vinnie.v

See, always late, maybe my next tattoo will be the white rabbit...

Walter and Minky send their regards.
My interpretation of Metaphorest's sentence, "And that was when Walter realised that his beloved 'Minky' was, in fact, a common sewer rat..." was a bit pessimistic. Luckily for Walter and Minky, Damsel's take on it was positive.

:)

I couldn't decide which one I liked better. So here is number 2 from Nattie's drawing.

I always draw these half faces...

Halloween's over but I was really lazy about scanning my sketchbook

Blahhhhh

The second I embrace a bit of optimism along comes this crazy killer bunny called life.

Human as animal other

This was for the "Sex and the Body" class I took in Freshman year of college. The art portion turned out to be the only good thing about the course. Of course, the idea was to depict a part human part animal creature, but I strongly dislike following the rules/guidelines.

Supposedly, this is more about the psychological and mental similarities between human beings and those creatures who organize themselves in hives. At least, that's what the professor said during the critique.

What do you think?

ink and razorblade

Yeah!

This is my little monster a just drew cause I was bored!

love to hit the heart.

spread the loveee =)

a humorous "serpant"

Of all things I've ever drawn while I ought to have been paying attention to something else, this is my absolute favorite. At least, so far, anyway...


There's a few bits of some less awesome doodle at the top that I couldn't make disappear in the crop. Just FYI.

Starring Joseph Gordon Levitt & Nora Zehetner

self-reflexivity, re-creation, immortality

I have been fascinated by the ouroboros for many years now. My favorite images of the immortal self-creator are those in the style of Quetzalcoatl.

This ouroboros began as a sketch of a dragon, but evolved into a more serpent-like form when I began adding paint.

Details: acrylic paint on salvaged packing paper
digitally added title - "ouroboros" - for identification

Some detail was lost in the scanning process...

A composite of scans from a visual poem

"These mountains are my
waiting room. From the moment we are
born we are waiting to die. Some of us
see it this way, and some do not. For me the
sky is too blue, the water too cold, the sun too blinding.
For words. My translations are little more than cheap
copies in sidewalk chalk. The earth is my mother, but
I will never become her. The best I can hope to do is offend
with my weak praise and bumbling admiration. So I lay out
to feel the sun burn and blind. To watch the sky in its hues of
blue. To let the water rush over me until I am rigid and numb.
I am my own sacrifice to the gods I no longer call to in the dark.
Here let me love you. Come let me hold you. We are all waiting. Some of
us, however, see white walls and iron; no mountains hold them in this game.
For lo, as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death yonder rise the
suns. Burning with passion. Drenched in contentment. These skies are so
Blue

Sometimes it takes imagination to navigate life

This is sort of a collage of things. Last night I was dealing with a lot of pain [I've had migraines since second grade] and a lot of built up anxiety reared its ugly head. So, to remind myself that I'm stronger than the pain I write myself notes, or draw pictures of how I see myself in the fantasy worlds of my imagination...

To break it down for you:
photograph- the sun sets over southwest Santa Fe
sketch/doodle- a grounded tree spirit or fairy
text- "today the fear returned
a crippling wave of panic
I could not control the tears
so I dug my roots in deap
and weathered the storm"

Ink.

Drawing class assignment. A triptych of our past, present and future. The first two were easy to draw, the last one was hard. The first draft was me standing in front of the Eiffel tower. But then I chose this drawing, a polaroid picture of the Eiffel tower, because it mixes the thing I love the most, which is photography, and my dream, which is going to France. Although I want to study photography, the ones with the money (aka mom and dad) won't let me, because they think it's a waste of time (any kind of art, really) and only rich people have enough money to waste it. So instead, I'm going to study french (I already speak a little) and then work doing french-spanish-english transaltions and as interpreter, save money and pay photography myself.

Some art inspired by my friends band name

My friend is in a band called Your New Escape Plan. I did this picture based around the idea of feeling trapped and needing to find a way out. I think we've probably all felt like that at some point in our lives.

Miss Violet Incredible

Self-portrait ;)

Sassy and Classy

Just a quick drawing of some lips

I did this drawing a few days ago. I was just looking at it before I uploaded it here and I realised that the first thing I think of when I think of lips, is kissing. Not one of the many other simple things we do with our mouths, such as talking, eating, drinking etc. I kind of wonder what makes me think of that before their practical everyday purpose.

Stencil art for the Street Art! collab

Found this piece of street/stencil art on a building near my house. I immediately thought of the Street Art collaboration... so I hit RECord.

submissions for my schools Illustration show are due tomorrow and ive been running around like a chicken without a head. I had nothing really done exclusively for the show so I decided to revise the wild thing and gave it a background. hope you guys like.

art

Thanks everyone who's hearting my pieces ;) I'm loving this forum more and more, I hope to collaborate with more than a few of you all, and thanks to Joe for re-posting my Wild thing piece on his Tumblr, thanks so much.

Anyway here's another Wild Thing, this was done for a weekly challenge on Http://conceptart.org. The idea was to create a new wild thing Max would meet and this was my entry. I'll post some of the ideas on this thread that didnt make it to the final cut but were still fun to draw.

PS this was done in Gouache.

I wish I had a scanner.

But here's some arty shtuff. Sorry for the gory nature.

im suppose to be doing my dissertation, but got hooked to this hitrecord page!!!!!

Cat power

watercolor, some redesigns of famous characters :) thank you for the hearts on my other piece. <3

where the wild things are

Inspired by the book 'Where the Wild Things Are' :) also not to mention the movie is coming which I am very happy for.
Stop by this blog for some real beautiful work http://terribleyelloweyes.com which also made me want to create my own piece of work.

Gouache in my sketchbook. I don't know what it is but it was in my head I guess. I call it a warg sometimes :P

I drew J

Art

One of my art work from when I was studying at Chelsea College of Art & Design.
I am a quarter Japanese born and raised there, speak the language but do not look one bit Japanese.
This was a way to express the Japanese side of me!

This is a drawing I made for an article debating Uniforms in schools a few years back. Just pencil sketched over with pen. All my characters always end up looking strange..love it or hate it, I can't fight it.

Another strange character materialised from my brain onto paper.

Rough idea I had for a short comic strip.

Lost in the Forest

This one took alot of time,paint and affection. It looks smaller in the photograph but that is one huge wooden board. Don't know where the image came from..It was just in my head and I had to get it out :)

Melting

Mess me up,take your shot

Exploring unfamiliar towns brings nice finds

Taken while exploring Iowa City with my friend. We abandoned our friends at the little mall, walked through alleys, and ended with a stop at the Java House. Oh, the memories.

Love It!

painted when in a considerably worse mood than i am in now.

Because I need to sell myself more efficiently.

a painting

biro sketch.

silly sketch I did of the view from my bedroom window. If i let my eyes go slightly out of focus i can so vividly see that view when looking at this picture, but i guess you may of had to be there.

Peace Think Create Love

For an art scholarship, haha I've been noticing college is kind of expensive

FOR MY DARLING TORI ON HER BIRTHDAY.

Happy birthday to my girl! Hope you have a wonderful day. <3

i found my old sketch again, and gave it a try...

A sketch I did of any idea for a painting.

mixed media on canvas

This is a piece I made when I was in a very random mood. Thanks to my abundant collection of nonsense I had everything I needed. Paint, photos, beads, mirrors, magazine clippings, metal & cardboard are included.

Compressed Charcoal Drawing

This was an assignment at school that I ended up liking a lot. We threw a bunch of stools in the middle of the room and did a blind drawing of the negative spaces. The paper is 3x5ft, it was fun to make.

I had this two part canvas for ages before I knew what to do with it.

A drawing of a firework

I employed a ruler for this one. I really like trying to draw the reflection of colors in water.

A drawing of a bird

Inspired by the song "Too Many Birds" by Bill Callahan.

A drawing of a tree

Inspired by the song "All Thoughts Are Prey to Some Beast" by Bill Callahan.

Took Tori's idea and ran with it.

Kudos to Tori for sparking this idea, and for this really cool font.

higher & higher, up up up up

i've really been getting into drawing recently. i'm still not a very accurate & consistent artist but i'm getting better with each drawing. i got the inspiration for this from here: http://galadarling.com/article/how-to-be-an-explorer-of-the-world

From my heart - to you MJ.

I've had the weirdest weeks since he passed, Aj should know about it since I've been thinking non stop about Michael. I needed to get this out of me ( in a good way ) and that is the only way it works. The neck there was giving me hell but I can't be fixing it forever. The picture i drew it from was taken somewhere around the Bad era, which i thought he had the best look at. He was always good-looking but I loved the style :)
I especially wanted to draw a picture where he was smiling because there quite possibly weren't enough moments in his life filled with pure and honest laughter. It's good to see that pretty smile :)
He hasn't left, he is still here with us.

There is this saying "home is where the heart is". This is New Zealand for me. Long story short: I thought i was going to do work&travel in NZ but now not until 3 years are over.

Anyway i hope anybody feels a little bit inspired from this.

reRECord of ronen's Clownaround

ha, this started out as a blind contour and I just cleaned it up and dabbed some paint on it. The crazy eyes/glasses make me smile so much. :D

(Thanks ronen for the record and Joe for being such a great subject.)

Birds and Barbed wire

First attempt at any kind of image manipulation thing... I'm pretty proud of this!

Dream big always xxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY <3

I've always loved this doodle, so I thought i'd use it in yet another of my Photoshop experiments as my contribution to jenyffer.maria's birthday celebrations. Better later than never. Enjoy!

There she is again with her funny hat

Part 3.

Having fun with flowers

This is Part 2. I recently had a birthday and my friends brought me lots of flowers. They got wilted and i thought to give them one last chance :) This is kind of a temporary doodle for the flowers - some things don't last.

This is the base for part 2 and 3.

At first it looked more pale, so i could use some flowers on her. After making part 2 and 3 (check them out) I made her look more decent on her own as well. Just a little sketch ;)

See her funny hat.

V2

I couldn't find this when I went to reference it, so here ya go. Doodle from V2.

The question was originally asked by hitrecorder DVO8564. :)

Without color they'd be boring.... and life.

It's a simple schoolwork i thought to share since i had no motivation to paint it but i was pretty pleased with the outcome, cause i managed to make those dull flowers look a bit more lively .. at least in my opinion :)

Just as how you see it. Intense. Cherries.

I had confusing times....this is what my brain and brush came up with.

That girl had more confusing feelings than anger but I managed to capture her like this.

I don't even know how to explain this piece of art. I had lot of fun painting her, since i like to paint/draw people. It was a little bit of a technical study for me as well as expressing my feelings through her emotions. It's actually a photograph by Sally Mann, which i Remixed. That's her work if anyone is interested, its very good -> http://sallymann.org/

Find DADA in you.

I prefer to let you read the image by yourself. I could explained, justified you the meaning of the picture, why I chose these elements, etc. but I think it's most interesting to let you say what you think about it, what inspires you in that picture.
Just one thing, I created this image thanks to "The Dada-Ana Papillon Test" which really appealed to me. In French I would say : "Sp

I made these tonight but I've spent hours trying to find the perfect thing to fill them and nothing looks right

Please put me out of my misery and put something in them. PLEASE.

First attempt

I never drawn before this moment... But I wanted to try.

I took a picture of my brother, and I started!

I'm aware that it's not good but doesn't matter, I thrown the paper at dustbin and I only scan it to keep a trace of my first attempt at drawing.

Please feel free to comment it! Each advice will be welcome!

Trying to do math, but failing.

What is love?

Love to me is self love, You can't truly love others unless you love and accept yourself first.

gift

I was rummaging through my flickr account and found the following. This was a little gift I put together for our beloved Teafaerie on her last birthday. Figured I'd share on V3 and to show my faerie support!

sometimes the bare essentials can be therapeutic..

love makes it stronger

From the storyboard of the movie that I'm writing. Taken and originally posted by Ronen. The blue one is a telepath. Putting it in Manifestation station, cause they're rooting for the script, and in a bunch of other stuff too, cause why not.

foot-creatures!

Okay... I admit, I was bored (and still am) out of my ass... been sleeping almost all day due to my cold and it's now 1.45am and I should sleep but I can't... *sigh* As soon as my head hit the pillow I go BING!! and I'm wide awake.. even cleaned my entire room, vacuumed and everything... nothing... *hangs head* I found a pen and some marker pens... what can I say...

I created foot-creatures..!

Again by heart! :D


I hope more people will contribute to this idea!! :D

Just letting my mind flow...

It's not new tho, a bit more than a year old. I cant really remember.

A drawing of someone special, our fellow hitrecorder :)

The title is actually how i called his downloaded picture file and i obviously did draw this. Hope you don't mind, A :)

I'm in a releasing mood!

Acrylic painting, done in 2005

I read books based on a true story by Jean P. Sasson "Princess" and Norma Khouri "Honor Lost". I was so moved by both of the books that i couldn't get it out of my head until i drew what i thought about it :) It's still a precious painting to me.

The main purpose of painting this in our painting class was because of that bridge that we have in my hometown. Thats because they are rare and old. The escaping story became between me and the other painters in the class...where this tattooed woman is escaping from prison. I know, random.

I wanted to remember this concert on 06.02.08. Acrylic painting.

It was my first 30 Seconds To Mars concert (there will be more), i searched for some professional pictures made that night and found this:

It's amazing as a photo :)

I've been trying to practice my drawing. It's always been something that's never happened very easily for me. A lack of brain to hand communication. Anyway, I looked down and this is what I saw and it looked pretty, so I grabbed my camera and recorded it.

A drawing of ...artgeek... for my first try of a Photoshop fonction

My brother showed me some pictures he modified and I tried quickly.

...i made this!

Saying no to forgetting myself/yourself

I stopped by the wall, in my mind, where Tori saw this gigantic NO and felt inspired by that. Forgetting to take care of yourself can be destructive and i promised myself not to do that anymore. Begin with yourself and then help others, since that is what i want to do.

What do you do in lectures ?

A boring lecture...or actually there were few ones and i end up doing this besides writing...

A child's drawing of the soul.

A picture drawn by my then three year old friend Andre, on the day his Christian friend Nancy (also three) told him that everyone has a ghost inside of them. He was very concerned about the idea, naturally, and I suggested that he draw a picture of what he was thinking.

I thought she was looking a bit pale! ;)

A drawing I found today.

She was on the top of the recycling box. So I stole her because she looked so sad.

the Teafaerie and Jason's wedding invitation

Our wedding invitation, drawn my my friend Tasha McCauley from the memory of knowing us, without a reference pic!

I don't know what exactly it is. I just started painting with no ideas in my mind. Some kind of butterfly came out of it :)
