Your sketchbook pages are awesome, I'm insanely jealous!

number them or something so I sound less dumb when I say "I like the one with the girl and the thingy in the background".

thanks kaetlyn! i've had a really tough time with illustration this year...i haven't really been into my assignments, but i seem to have a ton of fun/make better work in my sketchbook or in my elective classes. i saw all your ireland work, very nice, how was the trip?

and elizabeth, thanks for looking at my stuff, maybe i'll number them next time, although i doubt i will make habit of it. just keep try and be really descriptive, as hard as it might be. i'm uploading some more images in a few days, i broke the scanner at school, but these ones are less coherent and harder to describe...

love your pencil sketches...are you familiar with pietari posti? if not...you'd like him...www.pposti.com. i have a couple prints of his and he's like, amazing.

and thanks...the princess picture was done for my upcoming show in april, it's been nice to just do work for fun. i think i'm going to sell it as an original just because to get prints of it would be fruitless (for that tactile reason). i'm trying to figure out how to capture it though before i sell it off...hoping just a great photograph would do.

thanks rachael! i LOVE pietari posti, he's one of those people i was instantly drawn to because he uses line and lots of basic, flat color. i think one of his drawings is on the cover of that "naive" book that just came out (i think), i've been meaning to pick that up.

and yeah, it's hard to photograph glitter unless you can light it nice, we had a problem in class once when someone colored something using one of those metallic sharpies...their 'gold' ended up coming out brown. i'm sure a nice, dramatically lit photo would do the trick!
