SHRINKY DINKS

so i did my first experimenting with shrinky dink jewelry. and i must admit i'm pretty excited about it! my next endeavor is going to be a multiple finger ring of an octopus. oh babyyy

EDIT; i just realized that not everyone knows about shrinky dinks. basically its these sheets of plastic that you can color on with sharpies or colored pencil then you cut it out and stick it in the oven and it shrinks like 3x smaller than its original size and turns into a thick plasticky piece.. the duck was originally about 8inches tall so.. you can kinda figure out what it does. but its fun!

just a little sketchy sketch i did at the gallery on saturday when it was ssoooosoooo slow!

projects in progress!

so i am working on a new project beginning today... and i'm hoping i would be able to do a show at the gallery i work at with the pieces i make. its kind of a surprise.. it's a big thing i'm taking on but it should be fun!

also, this friday is the opening at the gallery for "summertime". i have a painting in it and the opening is from 6-9, so if anyone would like to pop in, you should! there's some wonderful work there including two pieces from two of my friends. the gallery is Studio E on Front Street in greenport... even if you don't go to the opening, you should check it out if you're ever in/around greenport!

workin' workin' away

so i'm working on a painting for a gallery show titled "summertime" so i decided because i love brooklyn summer time ever so much i'd do something about bk. but i didn't know what to do until i was waiting at ganni's pizzeria (best pizza in town, i swear) and it was nice and hazy and the sky just looked so beautiful above where the sun was setting juxtaposed with the tops of brownstones and their ornate decorative architecture, and a bunch of pigeons swooped in the sky silouhetted against the burning orange and pink clouds. then i knew it. so that is what i am painting but instead of painting the pigeons, i'm doing intricate cutouts on grey paper. so, here are some of the pigeons i have cut out already!

shopping list

procrastinating at work. and i'm a bit stressed and exhausted, so i made a shopping list (apparently virgos like to make lists). it relaxes me. so then i wanted to draw. so i did. maybe ill just start illustrating my shopping lists instead of writing the words out. hmm

headboard sketch

oi i wish i had more time to spend on these drawings. i'm doing a commission this week and then its goin hard on finishing the childrens book for my moms kindergarten class, that should be a lot of work (although i have begun it)

toodaloo

bored at worko.

i'm always hungry. especially for salty things. sometimes i wish that i could draw a food and it'd magically become real because that would make me very happy. especially during times when the cafeteria at the building isn't open yet.
