Just a quick sketch this time. Did it at my boyfriend's house, and he has no colors! ack. But I need to get it up before friday, and since his is the only scanner I have access to... voila!
Drew this one while I was watching TV on the internet (probably watching Heroes! ha.), and after finding out about DrawMo! which is a super cool thing, Drawing Month (or Draw More, I guess) sort of like NaNoWriMo, only all you have to do is draw (or paint or something) a picture every day, which sounds pretty damn good to me.
I had a dream a few nights ago that I accidently took acid. I saw this bug climbing on Doug's door. I hid under the sheets, and I thought it landed on my head. Doug told me it was only a spider, and he shooed it. It scared me. Its wings were thick and round, made out of candy.
Now I think it looks delicious. But at the time it was scary.
I think this is the first time I have ever tried to draw something I saw in a dream. Maybe it's just the first time I succeeded.
This is an old one, acrylic on unprimed canvas (or, actually, the unprimed side of a primed canvas). "Mouth". 2003, maybe 2004. I don't recall.
I need a scanner. I can't update without a scanner. I tried taking a picture of my most recent drawring with my cameraphone, but it just looked icky. So tomorrow! Update-tacular. because doug has a scanner and he loves me and will let me use it.
Sometimes when I am unhappy I feel like drawing angry mouths. This one developed into a politician. Ew. Politicians certainly do make me unhappy.
I think that the themes that keep popping up in the work I am happiest with -- like this and my cranes -- stem from one night when I was watching the movie "Come and See," and there was a closeup of an ugly, screaming, Nazi mouth. There was also a crane following the protaganist around. And I drew them. I wonder how long it will last, and how much it will figure into future works? hm.
I need a scanner. I am sick of these ugly pictures from my phone. blegh. new scanned version! yay!
