Mama Bear Card

Playing with making more Stationary/ cards. This one is aimed at pregancy announcements/ baby showers. I like the original best.

Wolf

Done drawn me a wolfie.  Per a few people's request, but the original artwork is for my grandfather.

Been in Alaska these past couple weeks, and it was definately a trip that will impact me for years to come. I hope to get back there someday. Nic and I had a great time with his mom, and I took tons of photos.  Here's a few.

DINO-SAWRS

Nic and I went to the Natural History Museum in LA yesterday! It was unplanned and wonderful. These are the only two drawings I did while I was there, unfortunately. Since it was my first time, I just sort of ran around ogling and crying over how awesome everything was. I seriously teared up when I entered into the first dino-room with that Mamenchisaurus--- GIGANTIC and breathtaking.

I just kept thinking-- I'm in front of Dinosaurs!!!

So many that I didn't know, too! I was totally dissapointed, when I was 5 I knew 'em all!

Huesera Gallery Updates

So about two weeks back I put up the show I've mentioned before! I have some documentation of the event, so I'll share it for you here.   Don't mind the Bone Mobile video...I idiotically turned it sideways forgetting the video wouldn't right itself. Ha!

 

 But First, More Process for Huesera's Death Mask casting

 My whole set up: Bone Mobile and Burial Mound, Animation Loop, and Shadowbox Deathmask.

The Bone Mobile.

 Death Mask Shadow Box: cast in wax, broken apart, then reassembled.

And here are two videos to share with the good folks at home.

Post-its? Spring Design

Thinking about making some post-its.

Seasonal? Sounds fun to me.

La Huesera- Death Mask

 Natural Terra Cotta clay. Total time 3ish hours. 10.5x6.5x3.5 (roughly) life size piece.

Preparing for my part in the upcoming MFA Thesis Exhibition. I've got a 3 part exhibit I'm planning, with the death-masks being one part.  Taking my character and bringing her to "reality". Not going for hyper-realism here, but a feeling/ translation of the feel of my character if she would be "alive" in the real realm.

Here's a sneak peek at something else planned for the exhibit too:

The Bird Wife

I'm working on a small 10 page  comic. Sneak Preview of "The Bird Wife"

Coming in the next coming months.
