Beach

So, the topic for today was "muscle beach" and I did not know how to incorporate the muscle part into my piece, so i just took it out, sorry. But, i did concentrate on the beach part of the session, and this is what I came up with. Enjoy!

Tree of Life

Rob, our boss, gave the topic for today, "Tree of Life." This is what I was able to come up with. Enjoy!

monster appliances

Our topic today was given by Stacey: "Monster Appliances". I really enjoyed this session.

Today's Quick Draw!

"Appliance monsters"

Construction Animal

Annnnnd numero dos!

Animal COnstruction Worker

So, to continue in the tradition of the quick draw, we took the first 30 minutes of work to do another session today. I was responsible for the topic, I chose : animal construction worker. This turned out to be a really fun draw. Enjoy!

Treeman

voila!

Revival

So, at work, laura suggested that for the first 30 minutes of work each day we do a "quick draw", for ol' times sake. And i thought, "what the heck?" So, our topic was "tree creatures". Here is what i came up with. Enjoy!

The Brothers Mucham

So I finally finished my Mucha Emulation from a month ago. Sorry it took so long! I really enjoyed it and had a blast.




Ironically, my older brother Aaron, who is at school at Kennesaw State in Georgia (where I'm from) also chose to do a Mucha emulation for a duotone assignment. Also ironically, we both chose the subject of autumn. Go figure. Aaron did his completely in Illustrator.

New topic: combo madness

Okay, this one comes to us co/Glenn. Pick one of the following strange words and illustrate :)

Crabtree

Starfish

Ponytail

Turtleneck

Horsefly

Crabtree...haha...geddit?

Happy Thanksgiving and New Topic

Hey y'all. Hope everybody has a safe and fun week off. Keep working on Mucha if you want, or have some fun with the new topic. We're gonna go with a multi-themed topic to really stretch. Pick a Pilgrim or an Indian and go for it in the style of the great J.C Leyendecker. Here's some inspiration.

Winter

Still debating whether or not to keep adding to it...the Art Nouveau backgrounds are so complex! This one's inspired by Mucha's piece "Zodiac."

I think I may turn it into a cocoa label for Christmas presents :)

colour

So I drew a really quick sketch of myself today (well...me-ish) enjoying an almost winter day. Then I looked to mucha for the colour. - (His work is aesthetically marvelous, but he likes to do scantily clad seducers of babylon so I put clothes on me. :) I didn't spend a lot of time on this...my time is a sieve.

Sprite in Spring

Don't askquestions about the background. I was just too lazy to do anything else...

Autum

I did this one based off the Mucha painting "Easter Chimes Bring Nature." I liked that one and "Lorenzaccio" the best of his, I think. Amazing artist.

More references

If you want some more references go to the Art Renewal Center. Good luck everyone!

Nouveau topic

Allrighty...time for some good ol' fashioned emulation exercise.
Pick one (or more if you're feeling ambitious) season of the year and and go for it in the style of the amazing Alphonse Mucha.
Here are some examples of his work.

If you've still got a turkey to post, post 'em up! Just because there's a new topic doesn't mean you can't post an old one:)

WANTED: A stylus

For any and all seniors who want to get rid of their styluses (styli?) before they leave -- I need one and I have monies. Anyone willing to sell?

The Escape

Thanksgiving Night Fever

What happens when Flashdance, John Travolta, rollerskates, and turkeys meet?

Skating Turkey

This is my first attempt at this quick draw - so go easy, you vultures :)

The Dead Animal Museum

Late post, sorry.The Bean Museum is probably the most haunted place on campus besides the testing center. Where else do you get a bunch of dead heads?

New Topic!

Okey-dokey, artichoke-y new topic is rollerskating turkeys.
Interpret as you will. Good luck!

K, here's mine!
Very quick cause I ran out of time.
Hope you like!

The Great Pumpkin

Better late then never, right?
I didn't know about this until today and didn't have time to work on it until late so...deal with it. XP
ITS THE GREAT PUMPKIN CHARLIE BROWN!

Haunted House

And for this week...a landscape! In keeping with the spirit of Halloween, this week the topic is HAUNTED HOUSES! Well, haunted houses are characters too, I suppose...so whatever you feel like interpreting your house as, go for it!

Not again...

Ohhh... who didn't make the comparison?
