A good friend alerted me of this neat contest running through to the Democratic National Convention. So, over a few hours sunday night I began this. Unfortunately since I didn't read the deadline correctly, I missed the cut-off at noon yesterday. But the good news is that I'm still going to finish him this week, and if anything at least I got some new work done.
Last weekend my friends and I headed up to northern WI to do some camping. We stayed at my friend AJ's beautiful farm. I only took pictures for about an hour, as I had camping activites to attend to - but here are the results.

I finished this guy rather quick on Sunday. It was so nice out this weekend it was hard to stay in & focus, so I brought him outdoors with me. The best part, I got on quite the kick and started two more after him!
(again sorry for the crappy quality. It's about time to get a new digicam.)

I was home last weekend in Prescott. Every morning I went on a hike near my parents place up this beautiful trail near Thumb Butte. It's spring in AZ, so all of the flowers were in bloom, and the cactus has just began to grow their flowering buds. Here are some pictures.

Number three of eight. I'm trying to complete these within small amounts of time, such as an afternoon. I see these more as practice work than anything else - especially since using charcoal on the wood was rather unfamiliar territory. I still think I need to sand the wood down more.
I finished this one over the weekend. I'm not terribly happy with it yet, but I'm glad to be getting more work done. The goal is to have 2 more by the weeks end.
I added some finishing touches to these two. I'm happy I did. The picture quality is rather poor though, sorry!
These are two of three ocean texture inspired tiles I am creating. I've barely dabbled in sculpture - but when I saw a seller on Etsy.com creating these I was inspired to steal the idea. These are for my own personal collection - and I would have supported the seller, alas I didn't have the extra cash. Please visit Element Clay Studio & check out the amazing work.
This one is "Scales"
This one is "Coral Polups"

Finished this one on Sunday, it was a quickie. The random title is inspired by the song I had in my head the entire time. This is #2 of 8.
Finished this one last night. She is one of eight I'm doing in charcoal & white pencil on birch.

I was in Appleton this past weekend. Shaun and I went out and found this strange barn and a nature preserve. All I had on me was Black & White film. It was good for the barn, but I really just don't like B&W film.

It has been a busy & crazy start to 2008. I've been taking photos & working though - so I'll have some updates very soon.
Just finished this guy today today. These are going a bit slower than I would like, but I am excited to begin the next one this week.
I recently went on a Ski vacation with my parents to Park City Utah. It was lovely and picturesque. Apparently though - all I could take pictures of were trees.

The holidays have been keeping me busy. I've been working on this guy since November, and that is much longer than I had intended. Either way, I'll have it done by the end of the month. Happy Holidays!
