The fall semester

I am afraid that, with teaching practicum, my art output will be wanting for the semester. But come December, I will be finished with Art Education in its entirety and I will be able to dedicate my time fully to Illustration. Cheers!

That being said, two quick sketches from the Newport Folk Festival:

Back from Italy with a good amount of artwork some I am quite proud of and some not as much; that is always the way of it though.

First, a few favourites from my Moleskine:

I have ignored this blog as of late--as well as my companions blogs. I shall have to do some scanning and posting directly, as well as catching up with everyone else's work.

In the mean time, a picture I just received of--almost all of--my senior illustration class* from our Senior Show Opening:

I have not updated in a while, so I give you the first three drawings for my pre-Italy Journalistic Drawing sketchbook
