I like hands

Here's another work in progress, but I think mostly finished. I started this a couple of weeks ago and only have a little more work to do on it. This piece is less dark than some of the other work I've posted lately- a bit more like my work from last spring.

I just got the new Dr. Dog album and I love it.

the dark night

I think I am finished with this piece for now. It took me forever, especially with all the changes I made and other projects I had been working on in the meantime. I broke out some colored pencils for this project, which I actually really enjoyed working with.

For Christmas, I received a gift certificate to a sushi place. I ate there last night since it's in Ryan's neighborhood. While there, I had some delicious edamame and a red bean mochi for desert. Today while shopping at Trader Joe's, I got edamame hummus and some chocolate mochis. Coincidence? Perhaps.

I am back from Kansas City. It was a nice, relaxing time. I didn't get too much accomplished, but I did do some sketching:


And this will be used in a piece very soon:


I really like to draw lines where you don't have to pick up my pencil.

quick update

A quick preview of what I'm working on. I am headed to Kansas City for about 5 days for Christmas, and so during that time I'm going to be working on a revamp for my website. Hopefully, I'll make a lot of progress while in KC. I don't have a car nor do I have a lot of friends that I still hang out from there... so it will be a good time to play catchup.

A sea of hands. I started this and am working on it now. There is not going to be a white background, that is just for simplicity's sake. I have been working on another project (which I don't think I can really post yet) which has been taking up a great deal of time. It's hard to work on personal projects, especially with the holidays.

I'll post more soon!

EDIT:

After a little of finagling on Friday (a day off, in which I get serious about making some art), I made this sweet little thang to go along with the hands:

I will be adding a background at the very least.

Today I booked tickets to Seattle, Washington (!!!). I will be going with the (always) delightful Ryan Honeycutt. I'm so excited! I haven't been to Seattle in atleast 10 years, and since Portland is not a far drive, we'll probably be spending a day or two in Portland as well.
