Bridge in Bath.

This is an ink study of a bridge I found in bath. I started working on this yesterday, but the ink already seems overworked... I might need to paint over it or something. I don't know I need to find an art store. I ripped that paper out of my journal... oh! and I bought the wood from a lumber store behind my flat! The man there traded me my change (only about 70p) for it! That's about 1 dollar.

QPR

We went to a futbol game today! This is a quick gesture I did while watching the game.

Bunch of birthdays.

These are the birthdays of besties from home. Just playin with the design...

hopefully I can scan this soon!

Cords 1.

I did this at my internship while scanning thousands of documents.
Step 1: insert document
Step 2: Hit scan
Step 3: draw until machine stops making noise
Step 3: remove document
Step 4: repeat steps 1-3

Cords 2.



This is what happens when five girls try to use their computers by means of primary communication with the people they love.

The view from my window at night.

red hat.

This is the hat
that in my class sat
in front of me
while I dreamt of tea
and things of the sea.


new kicks.

Remember when I was super proud about how few articles of clothing I managed to pack? ya, I had to buy new sneaks yesterday...

Happy Birthday Grandma


So I just got this invitation in the mail to my grandmother's 90th birthday party. This is a picture of her at 17, you do the math. Still trying the speed/gesture/ pen and ink stuff of giacometti, this one isn't as successful as the last.

Pen And Ink III

I just got introduced to Alberto Giacometti's work. Pretty awesome, this is a first quick study I did of one of his sketches.

Stonehenge

This is a postcard I made for my sis, but it's kind of cheating. We went to stonehenge today, but it was too wet to sketch. I made this from a picture.... (don't tell Michelle!).

The water bottle I've been recycling since I got here...cost me 44p.

Life Drawing 1


First gestures of life drawing- I'd say there's a fair amount of room for improvement.

frog


Day 2 notes of anth. I've never drawn a frog before in my life, what is it's meaning. we're talking about psychoanalysis too, and clearly I'm paying attention.

Sad tree in Kilburn Grange Park behind my internship, on a gloomy day.

Interesting side point, this park has an outdoor gym. cool huh?

the ceiling tile in my classroom.

clearly I'm paying attention in class... as always. oh by the way this was from my art history class now. obviously not like the old days, but i'm hoping someone will decide they want to crochet with me in class...

and we don't talk about frescos, but the professor DID mention that red and white make pink. weird huh? I mean.... who knew?

The balcony outside my classroom.

my foot.

Dino's A-Z

I've been babysitting the past few days for a boy named Marcus. We've spent the entire time drawing dino's and making an alphabetic book of them all. This is one of his illustrations that I got to keep instead of putting in the book.

Mushu.

-this actually has nothing to do with london, but I did this right before I left.
