Business as usual




Been working hard. Well, sort of. I only worked on three paintings on Sunday. My goal is to get something done to all six of them on this day of rest. What can I say? I'm easily distracted. Especially when a new project comes into the house, like a freshwater tropical aquarium. The remaining three will be worked on tonight after work. I introduced a medium light neutral brown and was going to leave it at that, but felt like I really needed to also include the brightest white (which still has a tinge of sepia). At the moment, I'm only really concerned with the imagery of the photograph. When I'm satisfied with that element, I plan to really spend some attention on the physicality of the photographs. Exaggerate the warped and dirty edges, paint in some gleam from the lights on the glossy finish of the photos.

Come December, a friend is hosting a holiday benefit for family's and children affected by HIV and AIDS. The event is called the Snowball. As part of the occasion, a silent auction will take place. I'm donating two figure drawings. To be better represented in the program, I designed a business card, as seen above. I truly can be indecisive.  This must be the 7th design I've come up with. I'm still not completely satisfied, but this latest will suffice.

Seen below is one of the figure drawings I've decided to donate to the Snowball. I'm not sure what the second one will be, or if I'll draw a new one just for the event. I was hoping to provide a drawing of one male and one female, but haven't found any male figures that I would like to give. Another project on the to-do list.
