I have a lot on my mind these days. I can't seem to stop thinking and I feel so... heavy. I think it's time to make some changes...
I spent most of this past weekend in my studio. The weathervane is part of something that I've been working on. I thought it looked interesting at this stage and decided to share it.
I forgot to mention last week that I've been invited to give a talk to some students in an evening illustration class at the Alberta College of Art and Design. That's where I graduated from 5 years ago. The class is taught by one of my old instructors, Mike Kerr, and his wife, Renata Liwska. They're both amazing illustrators. Check out their work at www.wronghand.com . I'm very flattered that they've invited me.

interested to see where this one is going...is this your usual way of working/use of materials...?Will you keep some newsprint visable in the final piece then...? I really like the sensitive line work of the headless angel. It somehow works better because it is in red...not sure what the message is (good/evil?). There is something intriguing about angels as a subject, even if you aren't religious. I once saw a scientific article which hypothosied just how big a humans breast bone and breast muscles would have to be to flap those wings...think xmas turkey breast at human scale, and then some!!!
Hey Matt,
Thanks.
The background on this one is the way I intend it to be when it's finished. I wanted to do a line drawing on a textured background. All I've done differently so far is fill in the drawing a bit more. I used my red ink again (I love that stuff). I'll post the final when I'm done, but I have a bit more experimenting to do first.
crazy, i just got ask to do a lecture too. i'm sooo scared to do it, i dont know what to talk about or what to say if someone ask me a question i dont know. i use to be a figure drawing assistance, and whenever someone ask me a question, i always get panic attacks. hope yours goes smoothly=)
Thanks. The talk is tonight. I hope it goes smoothly too.
