Dream

Many of these images are directly from the graphic novels, others were found at Deviantart.com and were created by some wonderfully talented artists!

Delirium

Neil Gaiman's- The Sandman

Since I started this blog, I have posted images from various artists with styles that I emulate but I have neglected to post anything from one of my biggest inspirations- the artists of the Sandman series. This series of graphic novels has set the stardard for the kinds of images I want to create and the kinds of feelings I would like those who view my work to have.

For the next few blogs, I will be posting my favorite images from the graphic novels as well as fan art inspired by the series.

What do these things have in common?

My next painting!
Sketches, color ideas and preliminary photos soon :)

Back to the start

With the lack of internet at home, I haven't had an opportunity to update my blog like I normally would. The past month has been spent gradually unpacking my belongings after moving out of the dorm as well as doing a lot of photography. As a result, I haven't been painting or even sketching out idea for my new project. Needless to say, I'm feeling a little guitly about it. Now that things are back in order (sort of), I have time to start thinking about my final art project for my undergraduate education.
I can't believe I'm at this point already. The last 3 years have flown by.

I have ideas of what I want to do for this project, as to what I want to communicate and the kind of emotions I'm going to need to dig up in order to create these last paintings. Last year was a time of soul searching for me, of figuring out who I am as both an artist and a human being, and where I want to go with my goals in life. I'm still in a very transitional period and the stress and expectations have become higher than ever. I wonder if I can do everything I want. Will I make it?

These last paintings will embody those thoughts and feelings. I see them as my way of recording this time in my life, in a way that writing or photographs cannot.

I'll post various sketches and ideas for the paintings soon.
