Carousels

Beirut  I like this band because the have an accordion in a lot of their songs :)

I've been super productive lately! Lots and lots of art, I received a bunch of Prismacolor markers and have fallen madly in love with the medium.  So here's a shout out to Eric Jenson, thanks for markers! They changed my life!

Learning how to use them was kinda tricky as well. I'd never done a whole picture in markers so these pretty much go in order of just barely knowing what I was doing to having a pretty good grasp of the medium.



Some self portraits, mostly I was excited about all the colors! So vivid!





Wouldn't you want this banjo on a t-shirt?  I would.







This piece is for Chris Fasy, who told me that if you color in circles with the markers, you don't get that streaking that's so prominent in the early pieces. Thanks Fasy!




Also been doing just sketchbook stuff.  Been in a big horse mood lately.  I can't help it, they are such beautiful creatures, I don't care if it's totally girly and cliche :)




Realism!







Some Banjo Rat stuff for good measure :)



I love being in such a creative space, I've never been so productive.  Hopefully I keep it up!
