I feel the need to apologize to the millions of people who aren't reading this anyway.
I've found myself in the type of situation where a person would find themselves saying, "Well that figures..." more often than they may otherwise. In this instance, the full sentence sans ellipsis would be something along the line of, "Now that I have started an artist's blog class and sleep deprivation are going to keep me from doing anything worthwhile...etc"
Class finishes tomorrow with our formal portfolio review. All of the work in the class has definitely been in the category of design...I may further describe all works held within the semester's portfolio are utter garbage. Nothing illustrative, even though I am getting credited for the class entitled: Advanced Illustration...Well that figures.
Soon. I will have something for you SOON. I have paint. I have canvas, the WILL, the DRIVE...just not the time or the attention span.

...in catching up.
While I had created this blog apparently back in early March, it has taken me over two months to actually find the time, or rather the will to sort through everything enough to decide what to post to catch anyone up in regards to any of my work.
I've taken the time today to do just that and rather than having any kind of portfolio to present, I've actually come to something closer to the opposite. I have very little to post. I've decided that the work that I had done in the past is just that, the past. While I recognize that no person would be anything without their past, it is what has made them, and what still holds them to be the person they are, philosophically, emotionally, executionally (like that word?)...While I recognize this, I see the need to veer off into the world of the new, and focus on developing my skills further, in an attempt to stray from any form of rut I've been in. In any case, someday I may post the steps that turned me into me, but honestly, my work at present isn't overly strong, you'd shudder to see how little it took for me to decide to take that leap from a career into the instability of art.
So, as far as the first post goes, I will give you only these recent works, hopefully the lack of posted work will spur me into working more, if only to have something to share.
I may not have mentioned, and I think very few people know that I actually have a double-first of Graphic Design and Metals. I'll be adding to a portfolio of metalworks as well.
"untitled #41" 2007 - Brass, silver & enamel.
A few recent pages from my sketchbook.
a digital collage piece I did earlier this year.
I dabble in Photography now and again, most of anything I do tends to be luck rather than skill. I have a decent eye but lack the knowhow or the method.
