Summer semester

Today was the first day of the winter semester. I now already have due dates, and projects in mind.  WHICH means i thought it was time i posted stuff from the summer and fall semesters.
I took the summer semester because i was broke. I needed to pay my rent and I was not finding a job fast enough, so I signed up for a full summer semester so that I could use student loans to cover rent etc. 
They were really intense classes. A six hour painting studio, twice a week. there were only 8 of us the prof was awesome and it was really pretty awesome. I also had a figurative drawing class twice a week, and a book binding class twice a week. due dates were alot shorter, but I managed to pull it off. Here are some of the highlights:

A self portrait
This one turned out really strange. we had to do a 6 hour start to finish painting in class , working from a collage. This is what happened.  Haven't done anything this Emo for a long time.

  1. I really like your portraits. I have a thing about neck muscles (I just love drawing them...its borderline fetish creepy) and I think you've done them really well. Especially in the Tom Waits portraits.
