The Sketchbook Part 2 of 2

So this is the second half of the images currently in my sketchbook. I will of course continue to draw in my sketchbook, and it's no where near full. As a fair number of works are drawn I will upload and display those too.

"Animal Kingdom Dominatrix"

This Art work was originally of a naked woman kneeling. Then one day in my Environmental Science Class as we were watching a "Plant Earth" installment I noticed a particularly bossy penguin. He was keeping all the other penguins in line, and I thought to myself, "what a Nazi." As soon as the thought came into my mind I knew I had to draw it and since there was all that bank space next to the woman I, Naturally, placed him there. I was then asked by a local graphic artist to share some of my work with him. (I knew he was christian, because he went to church with my mother) In the hope of possibly getting a job, or even an apprenticeship I made all the "scandalous" works into less "scandalous" pieces. The woman then got clothing, and to keep the drawing humorous I made her shirt say PETA. Now with all the changes the message is something like "just because there are people who want to treat animals ethically don't mean there are necessarily Animals for the Ethically Treatment of People)

"Tea Time in the Mother Country"

 This is a picture or a tea set. This picture was originally entirely different. I erased the entire original piece for fear of embarrassing the baptists. (my mother and the Graphic Artist) This page of my sketchbook originally had a drawing of a tattoo.

"The Truth about Love"

In this picture I use the hearts to represent lovers. Then the arrows, and the black and white to represent good and bad. The symbol means that love has it's ups and it's downs and it's goods and it's bads. 

"The Lovers Alchemist"

This was a concept sketch for a painting of a black board with all these math equations and symbols that led one to believe someone was working on the science of love.

"Monitor head Ballerina"

except or the swirls at the woman's feet this picture was completely redone during my self-censoring. It was a woman naked, and it seemed mythical.

"Mannequin Fish-tank"

I don't know what to say that the picture hasn't covered

"They're Gone"

This picture was inspired by a nightmare I had, in which; there was nothing but darkness. Then this girl appeared and I asked her where everyone was, and she said, "They're Gone." I then asked what she ment by "gone" and she told me she had killed them all. When I was angry with her she sat down, and wailed. Then I woke up.

"50/50"

This is one of the first sketches I've did of the first tattoos I'd like to get. I have struggled my whole life to understand the concept of good versus evil and even fought with in the events that have taken place, so it seems suiting that I commit that to my skin. Tattoos aren't just for misfits and criminals, and I think they are an amazing way to remind myself of what I've conquered.

"2012"

Most creative thinkers have epiphanies from time to time. This drawing is a prime example of one of mine. I may have 5 times while drawing this. from start to finish it was a steady movement of the pencil. 

"The Hearts of Good, and Evil"

In this work I drew a heart, half evil and half good. I then drew the darkness over taking the light. In a biblical sense it is what's to occur before the coming of christ.

"Cheeky Self Portrait"

I drew this while waiting for my hair appointment. It was my first and only attempt to date of a self portrait drawn from a mirror's reflection.

"Coy Kate"

This was one of my attempts to copy a photo to paper. It just happens to be that the photo I was attempting to copy was of me.

"The Flowers"

Inspired by a song that Regina Spektor sings with the same name.

"Wardrobe Chomp Down"

I drew this picture as a joke for my English teacher (Mrs. Ward, whom I adore and admire), she was discussing who might find Lady GaGa's meat dress attractive, and when she decided that it could only be a predator she then asked one of the artists in her class to draw that.

"Lung Cancer"

I drew this while thinking of a friend of mine who smokes a pack a day at age 17.

"The Phobia"

This piece began simply to freak a classmate out, and within the span of one school day evolved into one of my better works.

"Self-Portrait"

This is an expressive piece that I was drawing while feeling as if my exterior tricks many people into loving only so I can some how hurt them.

"Edison's Epiphany"

I drew this while bored in history. My motivation was sheer steampunk love.

"Souvenir to a God"

Medusa's head in a jar.


(I will post more when there are more works to be posted)
