Baltimore con

Last week's Baltimore comic convention was held in the same time as the Yankee's big game in town. In the after hours the fans were everywhere in the bars, hotels and corners. Although the weather was good, the traffic was horrific. It was very sad to see the habor water becoming a trash dump. Looking from a distance all you could see floating on the water were plastic bags, cigarette butt and bottles...

I did a couple of schetches for food during the con, that was fun:)






Oh, my boy "GEEKBOY PRESS" were there too, it was great to see them again after the North Carolina con:)







This little elf-boy was so sute I felt likt gluing him on our booth just so I could see his outfit ..

Figure Drawing Week 13

Still Life

Ok, here it is-- My first oil still life, it only took me 2 weeks to finish :)
Since the weather has been unavailable for outdoor painting, we are setting up still lives at home. It works great... when the dogs are happy :P

Figure Drawing Week 12

This week I expermented with some bright color pastels,the result was interestingly messy. Always remember when you use pastels make sure you spray fix it after finishing. Anyway,I like pastels very much because you can easily work layers on layers and erasing doesn't take much effort.
Good news for figure drawing lovers: the figure drawing hours will continue through the semester, so I will see some of you eveyr Tuesday:)

Krankee Pants (2)

FIGURE DRAWING WEEK 11

Hello! My name is crankee pants.

I am 12 years old and I live in a communist country. I have a life like everybody else. Some people write diary but I prefer drawing it on paper. I decided to share them with you because I think you need to look at my life and be thankful for yours.

In the morning I go to school, then I come home. I am not the popular one in my class nor I am the most unpopular one. My teacher Mrs.Tuat is not exactly the best teacher in the world either. Mrs.Tuat has a list of all her favorite people, I am not on it. I have three best friends but I am sort of un-welcomed in their birthday parties. I don't have a boyfriend although I do have my eyes on someone in school. I can't really say his name because it makes me sad. We were in love secretly for a very short time (three days) then he dumped me. My mother went on a long trip so I am living by myself, I enjoy it.
