Got to be birds flying higher

Here's my first project for ACAD310, my only studio class this semester. Yesterday's critiques went well. It was very dense and after a while, people were starting to get tired. Three hours of examining, questioning and listening to art was exhausting. I'm glad I went first. My clock was well received and some of the questions revolved around the shapes and colours choices. I most talked about the construction. The clock is called Timeless since I no longer possess any sense of time, or at least time dictated by external forces.





Here are some more pictures of Timeless from different angles and times of day. Sometimes it looks blue, gold and silver. Other times it looks gold and green or purple. The shadows between the layers are really neat. Click through for the whole gallery.





There isn't a class next week as it is reading break. Our only homework is to finish a reading response and watch The Matrix. I think I'm the second oldest person in the class, so I'll try to avoid "Kids, let me tell you alllllll about the 90s." I hope I can convey how AWESOME this movie was at the time though!

I had a fun weekend making lots of art. I cut paper, I sketched on the paper and I cut the paper some more! I made seven pictures in all and will be posting five of them this week. You can stay tuned on DeviantArt or Flickr.

I volunteered for a month in a MLP fan calendar being organized in the MLP Arena. It's available for $5 physical or as a PDF (not sure if the price is the same...rosierjay is organizing it). I just had to have October because it's my birth month, but I figured I also had to do a Halloween theme. Here Blossom, Twinkles the Cat and Brandy the Dog head on to a party at the Show Stable. Blossom is wearing the Best in the West pony wear package :-) 8.5x11" and made out of layers of paper, marker and PanPastel. I am always a little embarrassed by fan art, but hey...it was SUPER FUN to make :-)

Another picture down for the comic expo...although now I see I have to touch up the top part. I just bought a refill for my YROOOO marker, and that's where I exhausted it after trying to revive it with plain alcohol.

I really wanted Moondancer as a kid, but I never had one. I came across one as an adult and didn't buy her :-D
