So the last few night Ive been working on cartoons which I really enjoy and also a few photo montages. Today is the day Im posting some pics so enjoy. I will be working on some illustrations for a poetry which I think Ive already mentioned. Yoday I made a birthday cake and I think that should count as my art project for today, I will post pics of it just incase.

More Cartoons

Just got home from a yoga class so I am going to work on some more cartoons tonight. I have a project I am working on for a book. I have to do about 10 illustrations. They are going to be in black and white and I am looking forward to it. Have you ever used those small tipped pilot pens. If you add water they make a nice wash. Im going to buy myself one of those next time Im out and use that and some nice smooth, heavy paper for my medium. Id love to start on them tonight but I only have an hour and cartoons are so fun to do. Cant wait to post the pictures this week. I think you'll get a good laugh. Pictures will be posted on Sunday.

Working on some cartoons tonight. Just a bunch of little ones all put together. They are the kind of jokes only the person writing them probably gets. So If you dont get these Ill save them for myself.

House Of Cards

Ive been making alot of cartoons lately. They are fun to do and not much thinking is involved, just the way I like it. I will make a little book out of them once I get enough together. Tonight I built a nice big card house. They were made from a pack my dad gave me. He literally took cards he found around the house that were lost cards. There was probably three different decks made into one. I tried having a game with my son Evan one night and we realized there were too many left over and that the backs were different.There was also about five aces in the deck. Who does that? It was quite bizzare and I almost threw them out but they were saved and used for this piece. Pictures posted soon.

Wedding Hiccup

I'm doing another Photo Montage and I forgot how much I enjoyed these. This one is called Wedding Hiccup and I think It is quite funny. Anyone who is getting married may think otherwise. I don't seem to have glue so I am going to have to use a little flour and water and I don't think I have any of that either. Pictures wont be posted for a couple of days.

comic

Working on a little comic strip tonight. Evan likes it so theres a plus. Going to sleep soon. Bad cold bad cough.

I Like Stuff

When I was a kid I spent weeks cutting up the Sears Wish Book to make home made paper dolls. I think it was a project my sister got me started on in order for me to leave her alone once and awhile. It worked. Tonight I returned to my youth with a little photo montage. I call it "I like stuff. Its not the Wish Book but it did its job

OK so the day is today and I will be posting some pics, but I have to say I'm a little embarrassed about them. Nothing great has come out of last weeks work. In fact its been half assed attempts to just do it an get it over with. That being said I am starting to get a collection of mental notes developing deep within my brain of future art projects I will carry out when I have or make more time. I still have many more to go and even If I just get one really good piece out of this then it is worth it. I have no art supplies with me tonight so I guess it will be something last minute. Im really looking forward to getting started on the wedding series, Ive had long enough to think things over and am eager to get things going.

wedding

Tonight I finished a water colour I had already started some time around Xmas. Its one of three studies of my cousins wedding. Now Im not fond of weddings, I find them highly boring although mine was all good at the time and not to get too far off topic, I cant stand people staring so I probably wont go through that ever again. Their wedding was fantastic and during a hurricane. How much more fun can you get? Im going to do two more of the same picture and then do an acrylic painting of the umbrella pic. Then one of the other pic which is them standing by the water. This will all make more sense once the photos are up which should be on friday. Ill let them decide which one they want to keep for themselves in the end. Cant wait to sleep now, its terrible when somedays you are more excited to get back to sleep then you are to wake up. I did some of this in the dark, literally with no lights except from the computer screen, so I find the faces look a bit bizarre. I will be doing two more of the same and the necklace and bracelet will be included in the other pics.

Feeling like doing a little water color tonight. Last night I did one of a fish, tonight...who knows. Im hoping as the year progresses I can slowly divide my time up a little better. It would be good if I could start a little earlier in the day and work little bits here and there. I really dont know how people are able to get anything done. Im lucky If I can get the dishes done. Not able to find my battery charger for the camera, might have to go buy a new one all together. :(

Did an imprint of Nickys foot instead. That counts right?

Origami

So I thought Id work on some origami for a couple of nights since I was again pressed for time. Big mistake. There is a reason I only got so far in that book. It doesnt help that I have no proper paper either. Im using salvaged red construction paper that I was going to throw out but instead was chosen to be apart of the great plan. Ask me to make a crane or a frog or a boat and no problem, but damn the Mother Hubbard and Penguin. Cant get the creases right. So once I get over these next couple of nights I will be starting some studies for paintings. Looking forward to that. Should be updating photos on Friday night.

Tired of making "bad art" so bad it borders on the line of even calling it art. Spent the day organizing the storage closet which consisted of throwing away drawings that have been stored for over ten years. It seems that whatever the instructor had said at the time made no sense to me at all until I had set it aside and waited. Now when I see the drawings from that era, everything I was told both good and bad is suddenly remembered. All the constructive criticisms suddenly add up and make sense. I have less then an hour to do my project tonight. I am actually thinking about doing the art of meditation or aka the art of sleeping. Not in the mood to do anything let alone another poor atempt at a sub standard creation. Last night I did a quick drawing of my sister on some sort of found piece of cardboard. I really wonder how there are any moms out there who are able to do any art work at all. When I was in ceramics a girl from another class created these life size busts of figures and people. They were amazing. She had a kid and I dont know how she found the time to do it but she was definitley very gifted. Ok so Im going to dig out the old Origami book I bought when I was about twelve.I dont really have a choice otherwise. Not feeling like painting or drawing. Maybe i willl try some folds I never folded before. This book is one of my favorites. I bought it at a church yard sale and became quite good at making frogs, boats and cranes out of loose leaf rather then paying attention in math. Alright so I will post pics soon. Goodnight all three of you.

Abstract Bird

Internet not really working. Here's a quick update. Last night I brought my old edger clippers back to life with a little paint and tonight I'm doing a little sewing. It doesn't make much sense without the pictures so I will go into detail more when I post them. I guess you could call them "usable art" and "wearable art".
Teresa Art

It is Tuesday January 11th , 9:18pm and I am working on making an old pair of edger clippers into art. Well I guess it wont technically be art. Don't they say art is non functional? Who knows. But no matter what, these will be back and running in no time. Wish I could post pics but that will have to wait and so will you.

Another Tree

Was at my parents place a couple of days and they have minimum art supplies there which will be apparent when the photos are uploaded. Finished 'Another Tree' tonight. If anything this will be a good project for discipline since I am continuing to keep up. If only I could put down the cookies at the same time.

Photo day!

Ok so todays the day that I am uploading the photos. Very exciting. If they dont look the greatest then just remember its probably the cameras fault. I am very excited to keep on track and that I have managed to keep up. (Patting self on back)

Painting and Others

painting. pics soon.


Ok so I finished it in time and I am happy with the outcome. Not the best but not the worst. Gonna have to work abit harder tomorrow since I am going out in the evening. Cant wait to put up the pics. Dont ask, there is something wrong with my computer so I have to travel to my parents place so that I can upload them there. Pretty bad. Should be up by Saturday for any of you who have been waiting.

Faiths Painting

Well I wasnt able to use the internet last night but it wasnt worth my while since my art piece was useless. I call it Art but when you see it you will wonder why. My piece tonight however I was glad to finish. A painting for my niece Faith that I had meant to finish before Christmas but was put off due to time and exhaustion. So #4 is Art and #5 is Painting For Faith. She is one of my biggest fans and is only four years old. Imagine how big of a fan she will be when she is 40! Unless ofcourse she looses interest. She has always been enthusiastic, even when she was only a year old she would point to my paintings and smile. You gotta love that. So atlast I am done for the night and going to hit the hay. I will be posting my pictures probably on Saturday or Sunday If possible. Teresa Art
