...(At the place where I grew up rediscovering old sketches)... . A case for a large "grey" list. It seems that most people white, grey and black list others. I only interested in thinkers at the moment. White list, they accept everything. Grey, maybe yes, maybe no. Black - no way, not a world. I think the black list should be reserved only for the worst, which, for me (for example) would include people calling for the initiation of real violence or denying women their individual rights). I don't want to know if there's any good in what those people are saying. The "white list" I would leave empty. You may accidentally agree on everything with a particular thinker but don't be dogmatic. The long "grey list" of all shades is a treasure. There's wisdom and use in many teachings. The practice of choosing is an existing quest... . . #linandaras_art #myschoolart #sketchinglongago #drawing #старыйрисунок (at Sergiyevskiy Posad, Moskovskaya Oblast', Russia)

Now for my most recent pieces! I have been focusing on creating good form and lighting this semester and by golly does it show. Most of our assignments have been fairly open, so there isn’t much to explain. Their titles are ‘Flooded Seattle’, ‘At the Last Second’, and ‘Midcentury Style Tidepods’.

From here on out though, whenever I make a new piece, I plan on explaining my process in depth for each project. There will be thumbnails, comps, thought processes, everything I can think to mention. So be ready for that.

My favorite piece from my illustration 1 class. It’s a poster for the opera ‘Madama Butterfly’ It turned out really well. I added my own bit of narrative in the poster, the female lead is Madama butterfly, and the male lead travels the world. So I thought it would be an interesting concept to insinuate that there are many other butterflies around the world in his collection.

This is an old project as well, but I also edited it more recently, so you don’t have to look at it when it was in it’s awkward stage. Hooray! The assignment was to illustrate an oxymoron, and I chose ‘Little Big.’ I did a little research on what previous students had done for this project, and found some illustrations of large animals shrunk down, so I made a little animal into something big.

More old projects. Just the few that I felt do well enough without context.

A little anthropomorphic illustration project, where we had to take an old tale and recreate the characters as animals. I chose Rumpelstiltskin. I created a bunch of characters but only two made it into the final piece, and I only bothered to color three of my favorites.

Oh boy, I have returned after over a year of neglect. I am about to dump a whole load of projects I have been making and assume nobody cares because I don’t have any followers.
