What I'm working on now

I'm working on Chinese Brush Painting during the evenings and weekends. I'm not where I want to be as far as handling the brush yet, but I've just started. I did the drawing first, because I don't trust myself to do any drawing with the paint brush just yet. I'm also going to need a lot more burnt sienna paint, but that's beside the point I guess...

My work so far. Please pardon that left eye. The rice paper is super delicate and I'm think I'm having difficulty with perspective as well...

I think I'm really just happy I'm motivated/inspired again.

Displaying my artwork...

Posted some artwork of mine on facebook. I was told I should take a class...I do so much better from photos than life though. The fact that I'm so rusty doesn't help my case either.

Stuck a little of my photography up too. Here's a sample.

Erykah Badu's artwork for the "Out My Mind, Just in Time" tour

I love the image of the ankh with the heart incorporated. ...I wish I'd thought of it first...it would have made a slamming (or fill in whatever the slang term for something cool/hot is now...Trying to keep up just makes my head hurt some days.) tattoo. Crazy as it sounds, I want something that's symbolic, but uniquely me at the same time. Know what this artwork reminds me of Fillmore and Avalon ballroom posters from the late 60's. I wonder if Emek did this one too? You can see that type of influence with him. I tried to Google it, but I'm getting nowhere. Don't really have time to play around with the search today either.

For the first time in ages remembered to wish my cousin a Happy Bday today. :D Thanks, fb and Thank you, Mom!
