Stoker Part I




1. acrylic paint
2. acrylic paint, pastel & pen
3. peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

I'm doing something different these days. I had this project in mind to do stoker screen cap art. Initially I thought it would only take a day... But then my perfectionist self found an opportunity to work more in-depth with the screen-caps. To experiment, per-say. Honestly I should've made these short; 1-5 minutes total. But I got onto cutting on watercolor paper.


& You don't waste watercolor paper.
oh hell no you don't.


**All of these are in the beginning scene of Stoker.
It's quite the movie. (not quite out yet, but I have streamed it. (I KNOW IT'S BAD BUT I TOTALLY PLAN TO BUY THE MOVIE!!)

pen, marker & pastel pencils
Tennis courts are sexy.


It's been more or less a week that has gone by since I have last updated. When I told myself that I would do a drawing a day, I stopped. I realized that I like to draw for myself and not as a personal goal. Drawing, sketching, and illustrating in a way, is for myself I suppose. Even for myself I couldn't do it. I wanted to do it to show others that I can.
Maybe I'm doing it for all the wrong reasons.

"Do what you love for a job" they say.
but then it all becomes mundane.
Maybe illustrating is a hobby for me, I don't know.

I'm at this point where I don't fully know what I want...
& I need to find out soon.

oh george.


george likes pink ties



Joseph didn't want to swim... because he hates chlorine.

I drew on a sketchbook that I've made out of a trader joes bag. It's pretty fun to draw on. I think next time I'm going to make it smaller so it fits in pockets.

mineral necklaces

pen & gouache paint on watercolor paper
I have a thing for mineral necklaces.

I've always been attracted to shiny things.
mineral rocks are no exception.
When I first found out about them I was like,

OH MY GOD I FOUND DIAMONDS IN THIS ROCK OHMYLORD I AM RICH!
I'M RICH!
HOLY MOUNTAINS I AM RICH!!!

granted, this was when I was 5 and anything shiny made me think diamonds.

anyhow, here is my daily sketch illustration.

keep it classy.
ron burgandy out.

wait, no.
kirk, out.

ugh no not even that.
carol, out.

Céline Spring 2013 Leather goods
TRAPEZE MULTICOLOUR IN CALFSKIN DEEPSEA AND BEIGE

At first I thought, 'nothing could ever top kate spade's bright bag with the whole name game.' then I saw this title. I thought, 'wow how can anyone even try to buy certain bags without bringing a memo with them?' Then I saw that it was the color of the bag that was taking up most of the name.

oh.

well then.

okay.

Also, I just moved into my new apartment! I still have one or two things to do in my old apartment, but other than that, I'm mostly moved in! Whoo! 


These pieces definitely look better in real life than the scanned version. ;______; 
i so srry my scanner is st0opid.

Kate Spade: Charlotte Street Sylvie Satchel


I mean, I could afford it, but I'd rather eat 25 chipotle bowls instead.
or 50 in-n-out meals.
or 250 tacos.
or ....you get what I mean.
