blistered rattling bones

I'm taking a class called visual journalism, and every tuesday we go out into Baltimore and sketch. 
Here are some of those sketches:






ghost images, blurring, subtlety, elusive writing, fragmented words.
seeking in vain to capture moments of life -
pure, unnerving beauty.

reconciling urges of intuitive drawing with analytical drawing.
memory and transparency
bleeding images

come awake, spirit


first semester sophomore sketchbook update


why is it that I hate to love what is popular? why is it that I become jealous so easily despite my efforts to stifle those feelings of inadequacy, of total insecurity?

I really want you to sigh
never in tune,
just sigh

more studies,

Gestures, 1 or 2 minutes, and a 15 minute (?) drawing.



studies



20 minute drawings, a self portrait, and a skeleton drawing which is part of a very short image stack animation I've done.







 These studies are from Drawing as Illustration, with Piero MacGowan, which is a great class with an instructor who pushes me. And the self portraits from Drawing II this semester.

sketchbook update

so i was in my Electronic Media and Culture class recently. And I had my sketchbook. And there, sitting next to me, was a scanner.
Needless to say, I took the opportunity.
