in progress

Well hello again art world, sorry I haven't keep you updated at all this summer. So let's start with a fresh one now. I've moved into my studio and have everything set up, I have three things in process and pieces done. I would love to say that I've been busy, but I'm not quite sure if busy is  the right word.

I started a series of work based around the idea of the absence of memory and how my words in gaps of time- this really isn't the post to get into it- i'll  explained my thesis later, but for now here are two finished works that I've done this summer so far

 Now I'm finally done, I've been in the printmaking studio all week making a little etching for a final gift to my teachers, I did go a little crazy and printed 50 of them, but what ever, if you would like one, let me know-we can make a trade or something

Updates updates updates

 So here's a little bit of what I've been up to now that the semester is finally over, I'll have way more time to post on this  and keep my fellow friends up to date.  I have painted a lot since my last update( as you can clearly tell)I started a new painting and finished- it's of  my friend Robert.I've also had some time  to scan in some images from a sketchbook I made over last summer. I have one week left of classes and  that I'll be moving back home to Scranton to work on my portfolio for My masters degree.

 

  this is a little  self-portrait I did for my math final, yes yes I know I'm a senior in college and I took freshman  level math class, but it was fun. I wanted to post this  because it's probably one of my  best portraits  I've done in pencil.

   So these are my final paintings from a senior thesis, as you can tell the third one you've never seen on here before. I pretty much crammed my ass in the studio and busted it out in two weeks and I'm pretty proud of it, it is a good friend of mine that I've known for quite some time now. He is also a fellow artist and you check his work out here.

On Friday we were told where our show was going to be. Patrick McKay, our Dean,   informed me that I'm in the French building  main gallery, and that I have the center panel as well as the adjacent panel to the left. I guess all my hard work and restless nights from overthinking really paid off.

So theses are some of the sketches from that handmade sketchbook, I didn't post all them because I really don't like all of them.

  This is a drawing from a painting that I really like and for some godforsaken reason can't remember the name of the artist

 This is a drawing of an old friend of mine that I did  because I recently saw her  and thought it what would be fun to do a portrait of her

these next two  portraits I did for my head, this was my first attempt to draw my face from my head, I don't think it's half bad but it isn't the greatest thing I've ever done, and the girl was just something I was thinking of , and actually really looks like my friend Elly LaBranche- but there is no connection

updates

so ive been in the studio a lot lately, maybe even too much.  This is whats become of the paintings so far, i printed out some black and white copies of them today and plan on doing a few drawings over them. I'm also hoping to get two more paintings started soon for the end of the year, one being Robert Dodd who I've known for quite some time now and one of a very good friend who really inspires me  Aaron Mitchell


so here they are, comets questions, concerns, and love thought are always welcome

oh yeah,   there still not done...

Heres a sneak peek of what to expect for the show- all works are in progress.

Spring 2011

So I haven't posted on this in quite some time now, ive thought about what "art" is way to much, and in its simplest form I found theses shapes. i hope you enjoy—I will be updating this a lot so stay tuned.

Check out my new collaborative blog, bloodsells.

I miss drawing.

This is an unfinished portraiture study that I did at the end of spring semester 2010.

Here is the second painting. Once they're all done and have their final varnish I will have much better pictures.

This is the first of 4 paintings that I'll be doing this summer under Chris Pothier.

I really haven't said much about what I'm doing in this blog. One of the main reasons I started this blog was just so I could show my family the artwork I was doing at school. I guess it's also nice for other people to see what I'm doing when I'm locked away in my studio. So I guess this is a sum of things I've been up to.
