i'm scared to start drawing because i don't know what my ideas look like

these are two of, i think, eight drawings i did for the previous previous post.

i don't own any of the stuff i make, they OWN ME

oh man this post has length get excited

i made some repeat patterns for an illustration class that i did some illustrations for. then i said i would make them into shirts. i would probably do this is i could, but i can't so i'm probably not ever going to. or whatever, who knows, buy it from me when i do!!!!!









there is a buttload of variety so you get to choose, depending on how intense a person you are!!!



the three patterns were based on the three last stanzas in katrina vandenberg's poem, tulipomania. and also the entire poem, really, and some of her other poems too. look, it's all free stuff. it's like cattle and an open gate. whatever, just take it. okay, what is this. what is a blog. what are words, who is talking, what are you doing

But aren’t you sorry you will never see
a tulip that would make you offer all
you own for the layered, translucent promise

in its brown paper wrapper? Aren’t you sorry
you never saw John Keats in his dressing gown,
scribbling an ode beneath his flowering plum,

will never know the ten thousand men with hemophilia
infected with HIV two decades ago,
and the purpose that briefly lit their brilliant veins?

no one told me how it feels to draw on actual drawing paper. it feels good. thanks no one.

if i had known, i would have done this drawing on drawing paper instead of in my sketchbook. i like this one better. it was the sketch i based the above drawing on. i don't know how to make a final drawing as raw as my initial sketches. i wonder if anyone does. it feels like design (and contrite) when i have to reiterate a feeling instead of drawing when it's being felt.

self portrait 19th july

this doesn't play the whole song.. but it's being played to someone drawing so it's relevant. also, see how this video aligns with my drawing? that's design sense for you if there ever was.

hand practice

using web cam as reference, go the modern world

i don't usually sound this lackluster in life. i also study graphic design so i should be concerned about the layout and size of these images

YOU'RE WAITING FOR A BUT BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ONE EXCEPT FOR THE TWO CONSECUTIVE ONES THAT I JUST USED TO PROVE MY POINT THAT I'M NOT THAT CONCERNED!!!!! how's that for lackluster!!!

edit: i fixed it
