A Peek At My Final Sketchbook of the Year

This one's finished! time to go make another sketchbook for the new year~!

I'm still taking commissions for people who want hand made sketchbooks, top quality! email me if you want one.

SOOO Christmas is over, and while my family is partly Jewish, we are also Christian. and being Christian, we have a tree set up in our living room. Here are a few samples of decorations that I personally enjoyed:

MY FIST SELF PORTRAIT! EVER!

Texas, i miss you.

dad adding the finishing touches to the tree.

wait... why is there a confederate soldier on our tree?

yeahhhhhhhhhhh well I got some cool things as gifts, I'll post them later. (i.e. once i remember to take pictures of them) and yeah, I've got no idea as to why the spacing between the pictures got all funky... *makes frowny face*

Anyways, enjoy!

Oedipus Shoes

I just spent last night making a pair of shoes for my English teacher. Oh Oedipus, did you HAVE to drive nails through your eyes?

any who, I like the Oedipus shoe more than the Antigone shoe. Yay for old bearded guys!

SCAD

got my acceptance letter from the Savannah College of Art and Design!

w00t!~!!!!!! i would scan it and put it up, but i;m not sure if that's allowed.... ^^; so i just took a picture and stuff.... yeah not much different. anyways, I'm accepted into the honors program, and i get a cool scholarship.


sweeeeeeeet!


i'm going to college~~~e! :D

TOMS promotions

TOMS shoes are for a good cause. I have supported their efforts by buying their shoes. (twice) and now my new handy dandy sketch book will further the advertising! w00t!

for all my friends who have one of these flags, and wishes to have their very own TOMS sketch book, or notebook, I can do it! so just bring me some money, like10-15? (that much b/c the base sketch book I bought was 10, and some notebooks are around 10, and I would have to buy them separately. if you want me to make a book from scratch completely, that will cost you a little extra.)

and yes, I do have a Coheed and Cambria background.

Coheed news

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I was chilling around and i found this at the local comic store a few days ago, and i finally remembered to load it. for anyone who follows the Armory Wars Series by Coheed and Cambria/Claudio Sanchez, this is the third volume, issues 2-6, aka Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth 3 issues 2-6.

yeah.... i'm only slightly obsessed.....  ^^;

I'm feeling a little...tropical

So, I was recently commission to do a pair of shoes that had the them themes of either tropical birds, or tropical plants/trees. they are finished completely, spraying for weather resistance included, and here they are!

I hope she enjoys them!

YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR OWN PAIR OF SHOES FOR ONLY $20! just bring me the pair that you want painted/drawn on! if you want me to buy the shoes for you, it will be $40 (shoes aren't cheap anymore!)

that's all folks~

teaching teaching teaching.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO this is the first week that I don't have to teach a class because it is winter breakkkkkkkkk! anyways, I have some super cool things to show you! that's right! My students' work! some of their stuff is better than what I've seen kinds in my grade do, kinda funny no joke. Hope you enjoy then!

All is good and dandy in the crew department

So, wonderful things happened. Stage crew is over for the the fall play. I have some cool pictures! Our play, Noises Off, was directed by the oh so esteemed, Mrs. Waite....yeahhhhh there was a lot of shouting at kids, and a lot of shouting at crew and pressure on crew to finish a set in a lot less time than usual. what's even better is that we made the entire thing out of 1x4s, not 2x4s, so it was structurally unsound. for those of you who know the play, we had kids running around upstairs, and falling down stairs... yeah totally safe there guys.............. oops.
