The show is up....

Its hard to believe that the show is up and the year is basically over.  Time really flew.

Here are the last updated versions of the newer drawings that are hanging.

And the other ten that I chose as the final 14:

Also here's what it looks like hanging:

YAY!!!!

Semester 2 Week 13

I have purchased all of my frames and get to pick up my mats on Saturday. Once they come I just have to put some final touches on a few drawings and get the order situated. 

I will post pictures of the framed drawings this weekend.

Semester 2 Week 11

This week I have spent most of my time thinking about the matting and the framing of my project. I looked at some less expensive frames but have decided the original one I bought is better. I am now in the process of trying to get my hands on enough of them. I have also been trying to figure out what color mat I need. I bought mat board and cut some myself but the color was too much of an off white. Today, I spoke with Randy Parrish about mats. He was able to find a color that I think works well and tomorrow I am going to drop off several of my drawings so I can get fourteen mats cut.

Also I have spent a lot of time thinking about the arrangement of the drawings. Originally, I was thinking I would have twenty drawings displayed in a grid. After discussion today, I am thinking of cutting it down to twelve or fourteen (or possibly cutting it even more) of the stronger drawings in a two line arrangement. I have been using photoshop to not only help me figure out the arrangement of all of the drawings but also the actual placement of each drawing, thinking specifically about how they work with the drawings around them.

Here are some that I have been working on.

Next week, I want to have all of the physical framing and matting issues sorted out so I can spend the rest of my time with touching up any drawings that need it and the arrangement of the drawings. 

Semester 2 Week 10

I've been thinking a lot about how I will be framing, matting, and hanging my drawings. I bought a black frame which I like and now I need to figure out how the mat will work. The mat that came with the frame is white and makes the paper look very yellow. Hopefully I will be able to find a mat that matches the color of the paper.

Also I continued drawing...

One more image to come.

Semester 2 Week 7

Drawing, drawing, and more drawing.

This week  I began to think a lot about how all of the drawings will work together. As I move forward, I want to make sure that I am making new drawings that will help the viewer move easier throughout the drawings when seen as a whole.

None of these are 100% finished.

Drawing ~ 21 hours
Postcard ~ 30 minutes

Semester 2 Week 6

This week I continued to draw. I also had the opportunity to talk with both David Chung and Endi Poskovic, which was extremely helpful. Both sets up conversations really made me think about composition and content for my drawings.

For next week I want to continue drawing keeping the comments they made in mind.

2 new drawings (both not entirely finished) and 1 redo of a previous drawing  (I changed some of the left and am also not sure if it needs more work.)

Drawing ~ 14 hours
