Last night I had my heart broken yet again, so today I'm focusing on business instead of my feelings. Sounds like a good plan to me. So I've decided that I need to start drawing more people in to look at my silly little blog, and then my silly little website. I need a PR guy or something. But yeah, I guess the easiest way to do all that is to post images instead of just rambling on and on. Pretty pictures seem to get people's attention much faster. The problem is that my digital camera is missing the little cord that connects it to the computer. I have to go borrow a camera from someone every time I want a picture of something. So until I find my cord or buy a new one, I'm pretty much going to be posting old pictures and stuff. So I guess today I'll post a picture of one of my portraits so A) people know what I do besides jewelry, and B) maybe someone out there will have a suggestion for where I should go for inexpensive, quality prints.
So this is a portrait I did for my "Visionary" series aka my senior show. It's called "The Beholder" and it's the first drawing out of nine in the set. I'm rather proud of it and used it as the image for my show cards that I had to distribute around the campus. I personally think it's the strongest thing I've drawn in quite some time, though I know people who disagree. For some reason, blindfolds seem to bother some people. Anyway, this drawing is 11x14 and done completely in woodless graphite, my preferred medium. The model is my lovely friend Amanda over at Balagan Art, and she seems to be fond of the photos that I took for references for this one, so you'll probably see this same look on her profile over at her blog.
