Recapture

1 min read
A good friend reminded me that

1. my old stuff isn't horrible - I shouldn't be so mortified of it that I never draw again
2. the past decade was not wasted - I wasn't prolifically doodling anymore, but I got other stuff done, so it was still valuable
3. even if I were 57, it's not too late to play around again

As you may already know, I'm a college student working towards an art degree.

I have recently discovered that I have a talent in Papercutting, an art form in which an entire image is hand-cut from paper.

I'm currently trying to raise money for my trip to Sweden this summer, so I had the brilliant idea to do personalized commissions.

I'll be taking orders during Christmas break and through next semester, depending on how flexible my schoolwork load will be.

I'm planning to make greeting cards as well if people are interested.

If you would like for me to make you a piece of art with cut paper, please post a request here or send me a message describing the image you have in mind.

Don't be afraid to be imaginative. I'll want a chance to talk it over with you so that I know what I'm doing, and you get the result you want. I want it to mean something to you, and I want it to have a good composition.

If you have specific reference images that I could use, send them to me as well. For example, portraits of people or animals. Then I will let you see my sketches before I start putting it together.

Two things to keep in mind: I can not sell anything including a copyrighted image, and I will not make anything inappropriate or past PG.

There are examples of my work in my gallery, and I'll be keeping photos of every project for my portfolio.

I will estimate a price for you based on how large the piece is and how many hours it takes me to complete it, but the payment will essentially be a donation.

Right now my deadline to pay for the trip is April 1st, but I will definitely continue taking requests past that if people are interested.

Please share this with your friends, especially if you know people who would be interested in buying artwork.

Next fall I will be able to experiment a lot with printmaking, and that will open up my requests even more, so stick around!

Comics

2 min read
I have joined a comic-making class every other Wednesday now. I'm pretty excited about this, it's exactly what I needed over the summer to get me going again.
We're starting out basic.. I might upload the sketches we did in class, even though they're terrible xD
By the end we'll each be able to make our own 6-page comic strip. Sounds like crazy talk to me, but I'll hold out hope for myself.
We're going through Drawing Words & Writing Pictures, which looks like a pretty good book to have. I don't yet because they ran out of stock. But yeah, here's their site: dw-wp.com/

ALSO, I have discovered my new inspiration for making comics. Bone has been the ultimate in graphic novels for me... but I have found its counterpart in the daily comic strip: Sheldon! --> www.sheldoncomics.com/ <--
I don't know if you've heard of it or not, but I HIGHLY suggest you give it a read. I started in the archives and am coming close to present day now. It's definitely my kind of humor.

And just now, I went back into my own gallery and read all of my Gemmy & Leah Carly strips. It's been like, a year since I've looked at those.. so I was able to kind of chuckle at them. I don't really know what I'm going to do now...
