I… kinda ran free with this one. I might start using this shading technique in more of my work, not sure. I also used to think liver spots were scorch marks.

Hothead. 
This guy actually had that hair in the original photo. The only embellishment I added was the smoke.

Another beautiful face, along with fun hair to draw to boot. Pictures like this one make it hard to convince myself to ever return to white paper.

One of a series based off photos I found in this awesome ol’ 70’s book on the American southwest, filled with tons of candid shots of great faces.

This could be a sketch for a painting to come? I’ve fallen in love with the appearance of the slow drip of bright, intense color against a dark background.

Incoming slo-mo sketchdump from the last few weeks. Someday I’ll draw again on paper that isn’t black. Today is not that day.

It was only a matter of time…

At long last… it has happened.

Artistically

ironic

cake wrecks. 

Complete with plastic figures featuring black demonic eyes that stare into your soul. 

The more appealing ones simply go to prove that anything, and I mean anything can look good with the right presentation, and skilled lighting, via the creator and photographer, Amy Stevens.  

I’m pretty sure this is the outdoor piece that the curators put the most thought into, for placement and surroundings, judging by the plants they chose around it, and what other works of art they juxtaposed with it. 

They all looked like lamps, lit from within. They were only spotlit, just done so precisely that the light refracted beautifully through the entire piece. 

And now, a couple shots of what Chihuly is best known for - his chandeliers.

This room was absolutely breathtaking. I felt like I walked into the courtyard entrance of an extraterrestrial estate. 

I couldn’t even begin to describe the beauty of this room. The art was the ceiling itself… layers of glass pieces, rippling out like raindrops on a pond’s surface, this photo was the closest I was able to come to doing it justice.

The comparison of glass to water is a trite and cliche one. But I’ve never seen one so aptly substituted for the other as this piece was.

Chihuly’s influence by traditional weaving, in color and texture, probably shouldn’t have come as great to a surprise to me as it did.
