Happy 2008
Although it technically doesn’t start until February 7, 2008 is the year of the Rat. 
You can get him on a greeting card (and as a set of stamps, hopefully soon) at my Zazzle shop.
Happy New Year! I hope 2008 is a good one.

just a leetle froggie ♥ I made him for my mom’s website, assuming she wants him on there he’ll be displaying around 150px wide, which is why I didn’t sweat some of the details.
full disclosure: I traced most of the head from a photograph. but I made up the rest, which I’m pretty sure keeps this legal ;p I mean, obviously, the frog in the photo wasn’t smiling…
A friend of mine was talking about a sci-fi sort of game he’s running, which inspired me to draw this.
I’m proud of my generic computerythings background. 
I’m terrible at drawing guns and the pose is a little less dynamic than I’d hoped for, but this could be a good sketch/rough idea for a painting or something good like that. we’ll see how the new year goes. :]
a little untraditional, perhaps, but it’s not like it snows here with any regularity anyway…
Merry Christmas
(sorry if this appears as a black mass with a bright circle in the top corner. it’s some trees, I promise. get a brighter monitor!)
I kind of don’t care about the jpeg compression screwing up the image because I’m already freaking mad at opencanvas for helping me ruin the hi-res file for the millionth time (and this time I really wanted to keep it). screw you, open canvas, and screw you irony. die in a fire.
I sketched the body, then thought “maybe I should add a background”, and then thought “this stupid background doesn’t make any sense in lineart, maybe I should color it” and… so on. it’s a little lazy, but at least it’s not just some black and white thang.
sometimes you can fake perspective. sometimes you can’t. I will let the viewer decide what kind of sometime this is.
I haven’t been to the beach in years, and I think the last time I went it wasn’t even sunny. D:
nothing to add to the picture in terms of explanation or description…
I guess her eyes are a little funny (cue people telling me they look fine), but that’s why this is a sketch…
my professor emailed me the good photograph he took of this painting, so now I can show everyone the final product
I decided to make the red part of the image into a watery, ocean-like space, which I created with an impasto technique. The body, hair and yellow background were created with a basic brush approach, and the rest was collaged on with weldbond, which is an amazing substance when applied properly.
I learned a lot while making this painting, and I think that’s what really counts…
A boyish notion of false emotion
These words are spoken, despite my love
A fool’s devotion was set in motion
My eyes are open now
It’s a glass cage so I can’t pretend
You hide beneath the physical
I see it coming but I can’t defend
You cut so deep, my belief is gone
My belief is gone
My belief is…
the title is from the Suzanne Vega song “Gypsy”. it was that or “pale and thin” from “the light is pale and thin, like you” from the song “In Liverpool”, also by Suzanne Vega. she’s in my brains today.
long torso is long and low-rising pants is low! I forgot to color his hand, sssssh. drew this in opencanvas last night with some coolio people (Nats, Hunger, and Hazard). the background is a pattern I have in my paintshop pro textures bin, don’t remember where it came from.
he oooooozes character. sexy.
