Still trying to post the last of my stuff from school, here's an update to the Demographic project, the piece is nearly complete now, though I am not sure I have the resources I need to finish it yet.  Sometime soon I hope,

   

 Also, here is a model from zBrush, it's a squeaky-toy hedgehog, complete with girly and boyish options:

So, our last project for conceptual practices was a campus-wide group installation.  We made white dangerous animals and placed them all over the school.  I ended up with snakes so I did some sand graffitisnakes on the path and one soft sculpture snake in the tree, all of the snakes on the ground are traveling in the direction of the snake in the tree.  My hope was that people might follow the snakes along to the central snake but I was installing in the morning before my 8:30 class and I had to waitfor the groundskeepers to come through so I didn't get as many snakes on the ground as I would have liked.

The Sci-Fi piece had to be acrylic and framed, but there was little else in the way of requirements so I decided to present the live stars of PostapoCatlyptic.  Wrench is returning home to her rooftop and discovers a cat.  I have a basic story, I need to do a page-layout and script but I am excited to work on this project, it's gonna be good.

Here are a few photos from the Senior Illustration Show.  I tried to present both sides of my illustration faithfully.  The cheerful and frivolous on the left and the more serious SCOTUS portraits on the right.

Some of my thesis was posted as I went, but here's about half of what was left (none of the finished images have been posted until now).  So here are the first eight justices, in the following order: Douglas, Taft, Marshall, Breyer, Sotomayor, O'Connor, Alito and Ginsburg.

                             

That's all for today.  Love, and Coffee,

 It's thesis time so I imagine you all understand the lack of posts.  I am trying very hard to get my thesis done on time.  That said I have an exciting bit of news, I won an award for a piece I entered into The Best of Ringling.  I received the library materials award and the fine arts department actually gave me an honorable mention as well.  :)  Unfortunately I cannot post the piece that made it into the show until after graduation... and I cannot tell you why I can't post it either.  SO!  In lieu of posting that piece, here is my piece for our "Realism" assignment.

 The requirements for this piece were that I use straight lines and string.  Within those limitations I wanted to create something that would be so playful it would draw the whole class in.  I also wanted to bring everyone back to their childhood.  To that end, the set up is meant to be reminiscent of a kid's science museum with the grid and the shiny numbers and letters.

   

I called the class over to it, and they looked at the bag hanging on it's string from the ceiling and then I unplugged the end and pushed it toward the rest of the class.  Some people reacted initially, pushing the bag, trying to make it draw on the floor, others didn't warm up to it until the colors started to shift.  By the end, the whole class was involved so some degree or other and I consider the piece a  success.

In general, cute things do not make it into the serious shows here at Ringling.  Because of that my friend Mandy arranged for a "Cute Show" to occur.  I almost forgot about it but at the last second I realized I was about to miss the deadline.  So, here is the piece I created for that show:

But I Brought You Flowers!
