super post sunday: #3

so my goals for today have been met for the most part. the only hitch is that my damn scanner still isn't working. so, yet again, to continue working, i have to take a digital picture of my sketchbook, which sucks. i'll post a few pics now, in the hopes that i'll re-post better images in the near future.

so, first thing is something i did a few weeks back. there was a nice empty chair in an Urban Outfitters catalog that came a while ago, and i felt the need to draw someone sitting in it. i thought it turned out pretty cool. as i said, i'll post a scan when i can.













next is the first scan for the painting i'm going to get started on. its going to consist of three 5"x7" frames. i think its going to be called "A Day at the Park". my trial version of photoshop finally ran out, so i'm going to attempt this first in correl painter. we'll see how that goes. i may even try actually painting it with real live paints, but we'll see.













we went to a gallery showing last night that had a folk art permanent collection. after seeing all that stuff and looking at mine, i see a bit of a connection, even though i sort of hate to admit it. not that folk art is a bad thing, but i don't know. i'll have to gather my thoughts and come to a more coherent conclusion at a later date.
