More gallery stuff...

So here are some more gallery sketches and a sketch of some random musicians playing at the Distillery. Man, now that the weather is nice - that's definitely a place I'd love to hang out...there, and flippin' France and England. Yeah...I know the two don't coincide, but hey, a guy can dream right? Oh...Europe.
Comments and crits appreciated...I went thru a lot of hassling from some crazy old woman working at the gallery to get these sketches....enjoy!

I'm Back!

Hi,
Yeah...I've been...not here for a little while. At the behest of Sarah, I'm posting, but moreso because I felt guilty and have been meaning to - but a various amount of things have been keeping me from doing so. Summer began, and I started working at the Ministry of Transportation from the Government of Ontario. It's an alright job. I've been working 40 hours then coming home - pretty tired, not really doing much at the job, but still abnormally tired after the day - attempting to finish my lipsync to enter into Teletoon and practicing drawing things. Lots of work. Not enough time to blog. I've been trying to get some ideas together for films, and various other things.

Anyway, less talk, more sleep, more art. That's the way it goes.
These are some drawings I did after visiting the Sandra Ainsley Gallery at the Distillery on the weekend. They had an exhibit of crazy cool (and odd) glassworks as well as other mixed media works (the most notable being a 4ft. by 6ft. portrait of a boy made entirely out of nails and a single 2 mile long piece of string wrapped around it. The first two are two glass sculpture (fairly small) and the third is one of many african mask type things they had there.
I should've written the name of the artists on the page if any of you are curious.
Comments and crits appreciated.

More Life Drawings

Yep - school's out for summer! Been doing a whole lot of nothing before kicking the summer into high gear and doing so much that I have time for nothing beginning next week. I start my new government job on Monday - hopefully I'll have time to draw and such inbetween breaks and what not. I haven't posted much since school ended b/c I haven't drawn much - and whatever I have hasn't been blogworthy. I'll start to kick my ass by tomorrow if things don't start happening. In the meantime - enjoy these life drawings which are mostly the longer poses...and a huge thanks to everyone who's been commenting!
