Just finished my second birdhouse project! This one holds similarities to my previous birdhouse, only abstracted. I largely based my abstract design off of the architectural designs of Tim Burton in his stop motion films (Such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and James and the Giant Peach). The inspiration can be seen in the bold shapes, exaggerated distortions, and chaotic detail. It took a lot of pieces, but I really enjoyed working on this! 😊 #birdhouse #timburton #abstract #abstractart #design #design3d #art

Another Mob doodle from a week or so ago because all of my attention recently has gone to my current school assignments, and my best friend's wedding that recently took place! 😅 I doodle Mob a lot in my spare time I suppose.. (because I love him ❤) But! I'll actually be posting a second birdhouse project soon, so stay tuned!! ☺ #mobpsycho100 #mob #shigeokageyama #broccoli #anime #doodle #notes #college

And here is my finished bird house!! Posting the picture I took in class a bit late, but it's finally done! As you may be able to see, my main inspiration for this was Japanese architecture (especially seen in Japanese gardens). This was a ton of fun to make. The process took some time, but was very interesting between designing the pieces using Inkscape for the first time, and using a laser cutter for the first time! I can't wait to design more! 😊🕊🏠 #birdhouse #bird #design #design3D #japanesearchitecture #paper #lasercutter #art

This is one of the initial sketches I came up with for my birdhouse design! I then drew up the pieces I'd need in Ink Scape, had them laser cut, and am working on assembling everything currently. I should be finished with everything by Tuesday! 😁🐥 #birdhouse #sketch #design #design3D #lotsofglue #art #work #school

Overslept this morning and litterally got straight out of bed and drove to school for my morning class.. 😌 Ironically, I ended up getting to class earlier than I usually do! So, since I had some extra time, I doodled a tired Mob to express my morning fatigue. 😴😘 I may be posting more little sketches like this now, along with some bigger pieces here and there, since school has started and will be taking up a good amount of time! #mobpsycho100 #anime #shigeokageyama #mob #relatablecharacter #college #morning #sleepy #doodle

So, it's been a little while since I last posted due to school starting again.. But, on a more interesting note, I'm currently using a laser cutter to cut out the pieces to a bird house I designed! I'm super excited to see how this will turn out! Also, I find watching this bad boy cut paper oddly satisfying. 🙃 #laser #lasercutter #oddlysatisfying #satisfying #bird #birdhouse #design #Design3D

I love tea so much! 💃 Back to watercolors and pen with these geometric Pattern pieces!! It was difficult to repeat the pattern consistently without too many flaws when drawing it by hand. But, I'm still happy with it! On another note, I want to collect more tea sets someday.. 😌 #tea #teatime #teaset #geometric #pattern #watercolor #ink

Another acrylic painting attempt! I went with a pretty different approach with this one compared to my last one. I used a more surrealist style subject matter, textured brush strokes, and complementary colors. Hoping to do more to gain more experience with this! #acrylicpainting #acrylic #canvas #canvaspainting #surrealism #complamentarycolors #water #sun #plantheads

I don't really do acrylic painting much.. But I hope to get better at it! Here is a plant scene I tried out painting recently. For one of my first acrylic pieces, I think it turned out alright! I definitely want to gain more experience in this area though! 😏 #plants #acrylicpainting #acrylics #acrylic #analoguscolors #analogus #canvas #painting

Nothing quite beats the music of nature. 🕪🎧🎶🕊 And here is a third paper cut out piece! I ended up turning this one into a shadow box, which is a bit different from the other two I posted. I also incorporated some watercolor painting and fun paper types as well! I think this one may be a personal favorite. #art #watercolor #papercutout #shadowbox #music #nature #birdsong #bluejay

Just recently finished watching Mob Psycho 100!! I love these brothers so much!!! ❤ @_@ I couldn't help but draw a rendition of their spinning scene from the anime opening. It was just so cute! Anyway, if you haven't seen MP100, I highly recommend it! It's such a great show. #mobpsycho100 #mp100 #shigeokageyama #ritsukageyama #mob #psycho #100 #anime #fanart #art

I've had a bit of another delay in posting with the holidays and all, but here is another paper cutout and quilling piece to welcome the New Year! Though this took a lot of time to complete, I really like how this one turned out! With the start of the new year, my goal is to start posting pieces more consistently. So, I'll try my best to established a more consistent schedule! I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season and a happy start to their new year! #happynewyear #2017 #papercutout #paperquilling #moon #falling #art

Here is a little fox burrow for the winter season! 😊 For this, I tried out some paper cutting and quilling techniques! I used a variety of colored paper for the cut-outs, then glued it all down on Bristol Board. I also cut cenemeter thick strips of paper for the quilling part. The detail took a lot of time to cut out and glue, but I'm happy with the results! I am a little jealous of this fox's sound sleep though... 😥😴 #fox #burrow #foxden #winter #sleep #sleepy #papercutout #bristolboard #art

I'm finally getting around to posting the fourth picture I did for my houseplants project! I just finished finals, so this has been a bit slow to come..🙃 I did this piece using grey tone Copic markers on Bristol board. I had a bit of trouble with shading, but the detail was fun to work on! Hopefully, now that finals have passed, I'll get better about posting frequently with the coming of the new year! #houseplants #copicmarkers #greytone #bristolboard

It's been a little while since I last posted!!! I actually had some trouble with my old phone, got a new one, and am now trying to get back on track with posting. >_< I'll post the last piece of my houseplants series soon, but for now, here's a quick YOI piece I did for funsies! I've been a little (or a lot) obsessed with the show recently, and just wanted to draw these two beauties.. @_@ <3 Anyway, more to come soon! #yoi #yurionice #yurikatsuki #victornikiforov #victuuri #anime #iceskating

The third piece in my houseplant series! For this piece, I took different, patterned papers and cut out the parts to the plant using an x-acto knife. All of the paper pieces were glued onto bristol board. This piece took me a while to make due to all of the detail in the leaves! My hand definitely hurt from all of the paper cutting, but it was still a fun project! #art #papercutout #xactoknife #bristolboard #houseplants #blackandwhite

Piece 2 of 4 on houseplants done! I used an India Ink, ink wash on bristol board for this one. This was actually my first time trying ink wash, so I'm happy with how it went! I'd definitely like to work with this more in the future. Only two more pieces for my houseplant series!! #art #inkwash #indiaink #bristolboard #houseplants
