crunch time

So it’s getting close to finals and I’m swamped in projects and studying but I thought I’d give you guys a sneak peek of my color theory project(s).

Also could you guys be some sweethearts and help me pick stuff for my photography critique. I need ten pictures and have it down to these.

I have some other pictures too. Just deciding which ones are any good is so hard. Making a composition is so easy but selecting a composition from life is where it gets hard for me. Photography is so out of my league.

Sketchbook project!

The sketch book project is a really awesome program directed by the art house co-op. They run lots of really sweet collaborative programs all the time. I signed up and bought a sketchbook. I’m so excited for this sketchbook. When I finish it will be on tour all around the country and people can check it out from the Brooklyn art library in New York after the traveling show is done. I got my notebook in the mail yesterday but was out and about with the st. louis young women’s blogger group. (they’re so cool, I’m so lucky to get hang out with all those ladies) so I didn’t see it until today. Me and this really cool writer I know might do a collaborative project with me drawing and him writing and letting the story be inspired by the other and just let it go where it ends up. I just asked the sketchbook project if that was okay to collaborate in these so hopefully we’ll be able to!

They actually extended their date to sign up until Nov.15 so if you haven’t signed up you totally should!

Let me show you how cool this is!

I so can’t wait to dive into this!

 What cool projects are you involved in? How do you feel about collaborating with people?
