Here Are Some Sculptures From Antiquity That Fill Me With Delight.

Here are some sculptures from antiquity that fill me with delight.

1-3: The Guennol Lioness (aka Beefy Furry of Old)

4: Alabaster statue of who is presumed to be Ishtar, goddess of fertility, love, war, sex, power, and destruction, as well as the planet Venus. 

5-6: Sumerian couple. Anime is forever. 

7-8: Reaction images.

9: A Hylian shopkeeper.

10: The Emperor Constantine, lesser known Disney prince. 

The great thing, humanity has been able to create pretty accurate, representational art for a long time. It’s possible these were stylistic choices. 

Had a studio purge today. I’m throwing out five big bags of old art that’s unsellable, embarrassing, low quality, or I simply never want to see again for other, more personal, reasons. I have held on to a lot of things for a long time; some of that stuff is over a decade old. Doing this feels healthy. Part of the reason I’d kept a lot of it was that I wanted to see if my opinion had changed. It hadn’t. If anything, I disliked it more now than when I did it initially. I’ve got room in both my head and my space for new work.

Huevember day 30: can’t hold all these tennis balls. That’s it, Huevember is done. That will be all for monthly challenges for the time being.

2011 versus 2017.

Talk about ridiculous work time. This is a drawing I originally sketched in 2009, came back to after grad school in 2013, did more work on in 2015, and finished right at the end of 2016. It’s not perfect but it’s a good starting place for something new. Ideas evolve over time. Casein paint, charcoal, and god knows what else, I certainly can’t remember.

Working on block prints. Some of my walking trees. The idea is to have a large variety that I can rearrange and play with. Intended for paper and also fabrics.
