creative endeavors.

just catching up on some work I did this spring, but didn't get a chance to post about. above is my work in the scholarship show, below is my final project/show for installation art, and then my last few prints of the semester.



I made all the envelopes for this one (with the help of mama Kohrs!) while watching Star Wars the weekend of May the 4th. I think that's what made it work.






I went big on the airport print, and then branched out a little with the eatables, but it was pretty enjoyable. pizza and ice cream for everyone!

above is is the latest print I finished with multiple variations.
also, the first shoe pic was unintentional but the next two were just convienient. you can see a peek of some printing for my book arts class in the middle though.
below is a print I'm working on right now, and then some shots of the studio I spend most my time in. it's one of my favorite places to be.

the chillest zone + new print

overwhelmed, stressed, or depressed art student? we had you in mind with this installation. it's a fort/star space to hide away in, calm down, and chill out.







additionally, I finished/printed my first stone of the semester this week.

creative endeavors.

my first go at photolitho. I'm lovin it. on a related note, I switched my BFA emphasis from painting to printmaking. in other words, I left the painters to join the mystical order of printmakers. I am pretty crazy excited.





my paintings as of late. I'm obsessed with these colors. honestly, they're the greatest!



a little souvenir from one of the best concerts ever.

just a little peek at some of the things I've been working on. this semester I seem to be exploring a lot of space and geography imagery.

sweet afton studio.

a while back I mentioned that I would be interning with sweet afton, and the designs I did for them are done, printed and I've held them in my hands! I'm a little psyched.

that is all.

I finished this project on tuesday and it's definitely my favorite so far. I feel like I find a new movement to identify with every semester. this time I'm an abstract expressionist. it's decided. I just knew this was coming.






this little man kept me company for part of the time. he's about the greatest.


(notice the lack of blue on him. I am the greatest aunt ever, especially considering the first photo)

creative endeavors.

this is the latest project I did for painting, and it's a superflat self-portrait.
I definitely had a love-hate relationship with it. I enjoyed it quite a bit for a while. then it became pretty tedious and time-consuming, but I still can say I liked the project. even if none of the work I do right now seems to turn out quite like I'd expected, I could say the unpredictable nature is part of the fun, and maybe I'll just leave it at that haha.

I loved it at this stage and kinda want to revisit this idea at some other time just incorporating elements like this.


finished-ish.

(the colors are just a little off so you can't quite tell, but the hair is purple.)

creative endeavors plus some.

I'm currently waiting for paint to dry. rather than watching it, because I feel like it's been established that's a bit boring, I'm finally posting again! people are gonna get excited. I just know it.

a couple things that have been a little awesome lately:

we went to the plaza art fair a couple weekends ago and that made for some awesome people watching, as usual.

there was some pretty interesting art too.

I played art teacher to some 5-7 year olds for four weeks, along with another awesome lady. it ended last monday and here are some adorable thank you notes I got from the deal.


these are some postcards I've sent lately. I'm trying to get more colorful with them, and I just love my paint markers.


and here we have some projects I've been working on for painting. unfortunately I have basically none of my work from this class or ceramics with me, so I can't really share any of the final products. BUT these are some sneak peaks, and I'll share more when I can. I have not forgotten. =)

that is all.
