Color, color, everywhere.

With the start of the school year I have remembered how much a a procrastinator I am. *sigh*

Hey, at least I've decided I want to go back to school.
Hey, at least I've decided I want to make art for a living.
BTW, I am going to work to do colorscripting. :P

Holy cow, I'm out of practice. So. I have decided to create a color sequence of images for a story, as if I were working on a film project.

So far I have determined the story, it is Froggy Went a Courtin' as sung by Bruce Springsteen on his album We Shall Overcome, the Seeger Sessions. I will be using a Sierra Nevada Mining Culture theme. All the animals will be representations of the fauna found here in Sierra Nevada.

This is my assignment for myself.

This week, my agenda is:
Monday: Design Froggies
Tuesday: Design Miss Mouse
Wednesday: Draw the layout of the community of Froggy and Miss Mouse.
Thursday: Research Mining towns, ghost towns and Tonopah.
Friday: Sketch Mining Equipment and Miners.

I will try to post as often as I can.

Quillow!

I spent 5 days making this quillow that folds into a peace pillow from a blanket sized quilt.

1 year mark....set....wait?...GO!

So, we are 1 year into the 3 year plan to get up and out of Nevada and back to making art full time. it's not that I don't enjoy teaching, it's just that I want to be able to do it as a side thing, instead of the main thing.
So, I have been instructed to decide exactly what it is I want to do with my life.

Now, I find this to be a very daunting question.
So I started going back into the annals of my life to try and figure it out.

Wow, that was interesting.
I am going to be painting each day. Because I've realized/decided that what I love is color.
So, for now we're going to go with that. Whew.
Two years to get up onto feet that haven't held me since my senior year of undergrad, that's a little scary.
But nothing's worth doing unless it's a little scary... right?..

I LIED.
