Idlewild



Again for Editorial. I probably would have cried at the extent to which I overworked the second one at three in the morning had it not been such a good time of drinking tea and talking with reba while we worked. There were also pink tulips on my desk. But even though they were in agreement about the overworking of things the critique was the most encouraging ever. The class loved the first option for its sensitivity of line and wash and thought them to have a very southern feel to them (what i wanted ah!) and professor Briant loved the second one, and asked if i had ever read Roxaboxen. MY FAVORITE CHILDRENS BOOK! because it reminded him of that. I almost cried. he also said it looked like it had a dark odd element too it, and he could see it being somethign someone unearthed in an old thrift store. So i dont know if someone told him exactly what i woudl want to hear and then payed him to, but either way ill take it.

ps. yes, this is inspired by Peters song, but doesnt pay it the respect it deserves and should only be tied to that song for a small minority of people- namely the 3 to 7 year old category.


hm. white on white looses the background on these but i don't know that that's of any importance. They were done for my editorial illustration class- for an article about swearing. I havent enjoyed a project this much in who knows how long. Not that i don't enjoy projects, just that i really really enjoyed this one ( and i wasnt really expecting to).

ps. Its collage+ink+acrylic.
This was something personal done last quarter- Ive been so excited to incorporate more collage elements however slight they might be. The pink of the chair is cut out paper from a donuts box saved from San Francisco. Not that thats specifically important to the story, but everything is all at once really. And this one is a self portrait, not an attempt to draw someone else who ends up looking like me.
