Thought I would post something I’ve been working on.

Like always, anatomy and proportion issues about in the initial stages of both drawings.

Been listening to the new album from ADELE, entitled 21. It took me a while to get into the richer,more refined production of the songs, but I do like it a lot. Her cover of “Love Song” (originally by The Cure) was an unexpected, yet pleasant surprise.

I’m up for a busy weekend. At the end of it, I expect to have quite a few lovely photos to share.

Happy Monday. :)

Indigo Charlie (feat. Khleo) – Never Change Remix (I’ll Never Change)

1. I really like the concept of this video, created with over 1400 still images.

2. Khleo Thomas… Wow, that’s the little boy from the Holes, all grown up.

3. I need a massive cup of tea right now.

I’m also really enjoying Jukebox the Ghost‘s new album, Everything Under the Sun. I was listening to it at work today and thought, Wow, this is kind of my life right now. It’s always cool when that happens with music. The songs “Summer Sun” and “Misteltoe” stand out to me the most at the moment.

My big sis is bored which somehow evolved into me tweezing her eyebrows. So…

+listening: “Feeling Good” by Muse

I saw a photograph on my tumblr dashboard of the lower half of a girl standing on a rock in the middle of a stream. I liked the concept and decided to use it as basis for a new piece.

It seems I’ve reached a crossroads conundrum in my artistic endeavors. Being presented recently with a new design opportunity has caused me to reevaluate what it is that I want to do with my talents.

I went to college and pursued Visual Arts because that’s where my passion lies (apparently). I got a degree in Graphic Design so I could get a job (ha!). I minored in Photography because, well, the art curriculum of the college required that I have a minor concentration. But I’ve grown to enjoy that art form as well.

At the end of the day, though, I create things because I can and I enjoy the challenge that comes with the visual problem solving and coming out with a creative and aesthetically pleasing solution. When I see the effect my work has on people, how they enjoy and appreciate it . . . well, that gives me the drive to create more.

This new design venture, though, has me diving back into the world of design. It’s a little scary, slightly overwhelming. After a while, those feeling will pass, and I just have to dive in and see where my skills take me.

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Just purchased Corinne Bailey Rae‘s new album, The Sea. It is amazing, bittersweet and all around awesome. I also purchased OK Go’s Of the Blue Colour of the Sky. It’s nice and funky. They’ve progressed in their sound, but it’s still distinctive, so it plays like a natural evolution.
