Cutting Doodles

Some new work in the same vein as the last post. The greenish cloud drawing here will likely be cut up in a similar fashion to the image below. Of course I didn't think to scan in the drawing before I started cutting. I admit that I hadn't intended to cut the whole thing, but once I started i kind of got carried away. I included a detail so that you can better see the remnants of the drawing. I am thinking these cut pieces will find their way into larger collage works.

Doodles and other news

Here are some fairly recent drawings that I did while I was supposed to be painting. A friend and I decided to work on painting with oils since we were both out of practice. So about once a week we got together to paint and talk about art- which was great. But I found myself getting frustrated and one night decided to take a break and started doodling instead and this is what came out of it. And honestly I was much happier with the results of this simple doodle than I was with any of the paintings I did. So I continued on and I have been playing with textures and color and the effects of different pens, markers and pencils. The top one also has one of my little cut designs on top of it, which is something I want to further explore.

In other news I am finally almost all set up with my Etsy account and am excited to hopefully sell some of my creations and get feedback from people. Once it is up and running I will add a link on this site.
