Capitol Meat Market

hehehe

i'm looking for a small stool upon which to sit during times of breakfast & calligraphy

Lots of calligraphy lately. I learned simple stuff from mama when I was a wee person, and now that I'm not all hung up on Real Fine Art For Art School, I want to learn more. I'm thinking of incorporating calligraphy/text drawings in India ink into the exaggerated still-lifes I've been doing (below.) Transferring all that sumptuous black ink onto soft paper fibers with a metal tip is oddly satisfying. I like journal writing in calligraphy because it forces me to pick and choose words carefully and edit my thoughts in real-time. Plus, I'm more reluctant to write something negative in beautiful script. Good stuff.


Taking a break from painting to do a digital vector drawing for East End Main Street. A large group of Charleston artists will create lamp post banners to be hung all over the East End. Neato! More details go public on the East End Mainstreet website & Facebook page this coming Monday.

It's been a while...

Between playing lots of music, working out a lot, and spending every other free second I have painting, there's no time to spend sitting around on the internet. It just doesn't seem that important sometimes, which is a good thing. But I do like to keeping a blog and sharing stuff with other people...
Here's my most recent painting, finished (maybe a little over-finished) last night. I'm stoked!


In a cruel twist of fate, I got either a stomach bug or food poisoning last Sunday, which caused me to vomit a big pile of shrimp I'd eaten a few hours before. I had to finish up that giant prawn with the seabug refuse still steamin' in the trash can.


eeewwwww
