the CalArts porfolio!

i feel that my drawings have changed a little bit since completing this portfolio, but i also feel like i'm the only one who hasn't uploaded my accepted portfolio yet. so here it is, world!

here you go!

Portfolio

life's gifts

look, it's glowing!

the effect of a setting sun directly hitting this jar of pink paint water

i wanted to share this picture for a while, but i didn't know when would be appropriate.
i'm no fancy photographer, so i can only promise that the way this jar sits in this window is an honest representation of how it was in real life :)

i did not photoshop this image!

mermaids from bravo

i was really inspired to draw mermaids after talking to the coolest guy on the block, Bravo !

drawings~ from life

on another note!
i'm celebrating my love for these colors, and where i fell in love with them. here's my chart! i hope you like it as much as i do :)

[mind you, i do not own any of these photos. google is a friend, and these pictures are used solely for the sake of reference]

obvs, i am not a photographer

but guys, i gotta share this with you:

i really wanted to share this because this is the most marketable Diet Coke i have ever seen in my house

LOOK AT IT! it's like dripping with commercial goodness... those droplets of icy cold refreshment just rolling down the sides~



mhm. looks familiar doesn't it

lol more turtles - sorry world!

on a white, sandy beach...

more hula, that's right! Get at me, hawaii!

Sorry brudduh's and sistas, but i've got crazy jungle fever for hawaii right now. Iono what's gotten into me, :(

but it's brilliant, i love it.

i watched several videos to understand how these lovely ladies move, doing that thing they do, but this video here is my favorite. I think the dancer is just so charming and beautiful, i love her subtlety.

[ embedding for this video was disabled, so we're gonna have to keep it hood around here and work with the clickable .jpeg's - nawm sayin? Clickity click. ]

I love to mute these hula videos and dub over with some Jack Johnson or IZ Kamakawiwo'ole ~ is that bad? lol, they're good poeple

Ho`olaule`a

[this big version above is my fave]

the road trip in May...

... was so great

alright, alright. i triiiied~ but i have to admit in pure honesty that i am just having a difficult time with the cats. i'm trying! we'll figure it out. but right now, i tell ya - this is new lol

way inspiring
