Drawings: Spring 2012

I finally had the opportunity to work with the figure again this spring.  These are close ups of larger work.  They were created by using a pastel transfer technique.  All are large scale pieces rendered across several sheets of paper.

I also worked a bit in mixed media.  In this assignment for my class, I had to render my work in the Vanitas theme.  There is a figure in this but it may be next to impossible to find.

Graduation! (Well pretty close to it...)

Found out at the last minute that I got to wear the funny gown and hat (courtesy of Teresa Keefe) this past Friday.  It was a weird thought to realize that the last time I had worn one of these get ups most of my fellow graduates did not exist!

Only one more class to go this summer and it will be official in August...
