Wednesday, November 2nd

     It has certainly been a while, hasn't it? I have been busy with art (as you may have guessed) & I plan on applying to some schools prominent in the fine arts land. I hope you're still interested in seeing some of my work(:

"J.F.K."  (12 x 9 in)

This acrylic piece was done as a gift for a very close friend. He pretty much worships J.F.K. and would not stop nagging me to make this for him...

In total, it took me around 6 hours to complete using a small detail brush for the whole face and my fingers for the background and blazer. The hardest part of it was his right eye as I had to re-do it at least 4 times until I was satisfied! I chose this photo because of its solemnity and pensive mood.

"November 2nd" (7 x 8 in)

My grandparents recently came to visit and they brought my parents' wedding album to reminisce. Today is my mom and dad's wedding anniversary so I made them a small graphite drawing (right) for them from one of their cute wedding photos.
My dad is hard-core cheesing.
