Porcelain


Alright, so here it is, not completed, but close. A porcelain bust.
I have to say it looks better than my previous portraits. It looks more feminine and such. I guess I had some one to model for me for reference not so much to make a portrait. Nevertheless, it looks pretty alright. I've yet to refine it though as I need it to be more solid than it is so i can carve away at it.
Also, I'm not sure I'll continue with the porcelain, it is a bit of a hassle. But We'll see how it turns out once it is fired.

Art Walk and Such

Well, It's been nearly a month since my last post. Kinda sad really. But It'll be alright.
Anyway, I finally applied to public showing event. Sadly, the only requirement was three pictures. My work is pretty diverse, so that made it hard. But I stuck to my guns and showed my thesis work. I hope it all goes well.

Teapot


This one resembles the sketches more faithfully. It is my second attempt. It still needs some polishing around the corners, so I'll post another image at a later date when it is complete.


This one here is the first one i did. I used the coiling technique because I currently lack a throwing wheel. Yes, it is lumpy, but I think it gives it character.


These here are the sketches for a couple of teapots.
They are basically three dimensional versions of my paintings.
Why a teapot you might ask? Because it's cool.
It is a simple yet complex form consisting of three parts: The vessel, the handle and the spout.

A Wedding



Sure, the title is misleading, but in a way it isn't.
My Cousin's wedding was today, it was alright and all, and so on. But today I post something interesting I discovered: Pastel.
For some great reason canvas cause the pastel to jump out in a way that is just perfect. Sure, it may have been done before. I was just playing around with it and this is the result.
I have to say I am very pleased with the results and plan on using this medium in my larger works.

T-Shirt


I designed a t-shirt... well, sort of.
It's a church thing, like many of my projects have been for the past year I've been home.
Yeah, it's pretty alright I think for my first designy kinda work. But I have to admit, the font was found at other places.
the phrase says "Dare"
