Baba Yaga

This was the last piece I did for Sterling's class. It's not great but my painting has definitely been improving. I'll continue to work over the break and post some more pieces up.

Kraken Me Up

Well, I wanted to post a nice picture of a painting that I'm working on right now, but unfortunately the digital camera I've owned for 5 years is finally on its last limb:

This is the best shot I got with my dying camera. Seriously, I'm not a bad photographer! I guess it's just time to admit that my baby is dead and get a new camera. Today is a very sad day.

Monotype #1

This is my first monotype. I'm hoping to do about ten of these tonight. Wish me luck!

The Golem And The Cockroach

So I think I should go ahead and post some of the things I'm working on right now. I'm really, really stressed out but things are coming along. Here's a quick peak on what I'm working on:



This is a painting I'm working on right now. I feel it's important to address the Western fear of robotic uprising. It's not entirely done yet, but I thought it would be worth posting to see my progression. The colors are also a little off, so I hope next time around I get a better scan.

This is another painting I'm working on right now, although it's a little more finished than the golem. My thesis is folklore in the modern era and the comparison of our present superstitions with past ones. This piece is comparing a computer virus to a cockroach, which holds interesting tyrannical and metamorphosing qualities in Russian folklore. Fun stuff.
