I decided that I might as well put up some of my art this morning (since I have nothing better to do until my hair dries out a little):
The first one is to give you an idea of how my show was set up. I had a fairly long hallway (and needed it!) There were two large windows on either side of the large middle insert pictured here. That middle piece:
Is my absolute FAVORITE~ I don't know if you can tell from these, but it's roughly 4x5 feet, maybe a little more...and the prints (which are actually reeeeaaaally detailed, but you can't tell from this pic) are bolted between two sheets of plexiglass. The whole thing turned out just like I wanted it to.
Here are just a few misc. pieces:
Haha, this one is HUGE HUGE HUGE it's more than 1&1/2 times my height (almost twice my height!) and really wide as well, I did it on cardboard with acrylics, pastels, and tracing paper (thats why the box is white!) and I actually had to tape this piece to the floor to work!
In order, clockwise, those last four are: an 18x24 painting in gouache with gum arabic over the birds - I don't know if you can tell, but all those black marks are language charactes; an 18x24 marker and pencil; a 33x22 monoprint of stephen colbert (took forever!) and a pencil illustration from part of my best friend's book. That rendering I did from my head, which is why it looks a little wonky.
That's about enough for right now. Gotta go dry my hair~

super かっこい, as all the cool kids say. :)
wow jackie gorgeous art!
i agree with you - the piece in the middle of the first row of three is stunning...i love how you extended the picture beyond the "frame" of the black background.
how did you do those three pieces? they remind me of etchings, or woodblock prints...
(this is mary - アトマッドfrom japanese class, btw)
すごいね!!! ほんとおにすごい!!! =)
just wondering, do you ever work with watercolor?
あ、そおですか。Lino print? I actually love doing those...though I've never done one bigger than a foot or two across. It must have been fun to make those huge prints!
じゃあ、また!
こんにちわ!
paintingはおもしろいですね!
