Juggling all of my commitments is starting to get a little easier and I’m hoping it stays that way for a while. I could use some fun for a change.
Some things recently in the moleskin. I can’t wait to enjoy more of the nice weather. I anticipate more moleskinnery and artistry will take place as a result. I might turn the one up top into an oil painting. I bought some nice linen over the weekend. It might deserve a few more thumbnails and a color study before I put all of those expensive oil paints to use though…
the obsession never ends…
The guy with half a hand came from a commercial I saw at a friend’s house for a television show about how dangerous the logging industry could be. The guy was boasting about how manly he was on the commercial. I then felt compelled to record it in the sketchbook. Of course, pictured below it and completely unrelated: more mice. This time they’re portraying Hispanic gang stereotypes.
As far as free-time design goes, here is a color study I did using things from the morphology of this identity I’ve been developing—I need to add more than shapes—but it’s kind of a hodge podge of shapes (designed using the golden section) to see how the color palette I worked out might look.
Lastly, I have to recommend some more music. I recently discovered M83 put out a new album and it’s so boss I can’t even find better words than “boss” to describe it. It’s a bit of spacey electronic shoegazing goodness and I highly recommend it.
