Swarm Chasers

This is a new piece for my drawing class series. I'm making them progressively more dense, with more values and textures, and color notes to boot.

Birdballs

You're gonna be seeing a few more of these. I'm trying to make depictions of scrambling bird flocks, and trying to figure out the best way to distribute colors and, later, incorporate insects. Any suggestions I'd love!

King of the Hill

This was the second project for my Illustration I class. We were to design cover art for a seasonal gardening magazine. I wanted to incorporate birds somehow, while also displaying one of the company's products, sooo...

Purpling

These are two purple finches that are going into my portfolio, and into the student show at the semester's end! It's a large drawing, about 22"x 30". Ink, watercolor, salt, and windex. Up to this point, I'm having trouble creating satisfying pieces to show for my portfolio when I graduate; I think I've hit a vein here, and I'm going to stick with it.

Noisenoisenoise

 Another talking/ microphone bird. Taking the air by storm! This time I did ink drawings, cut them out, and overlapped them onto an ink-washy background. I liked the effect, so it is to be repeated!

New Things

Okay, an update of the green serpent, and two finished commissions from Christmas break. Since returning to campus, I've been flurrying with some new ideas for portfolio pieces, and I will update with progress pictures of my big commission project for Edinboro's Cooper Hall. If I sound like I'm making promises in order to keep myself accountable to them, it's because I am :P
