Thinkspace : Picks of the Harvest : Work in Progress III

Finally finished with my piece for Thinkspace Gallery's "Picks of the Harvest" show, opening this Saturday, March 3rd from 5PM to 8PM. The artwork took a little longer than I had originally anticipated, but it was well worth the effort in the end. I will continue to explore colored pencil in conjunction with the ballpoint pen- I was really pleased with the last minute decision to add another medium, and even more impressed by how nicely they complimented one another. I can't thank Andrew Hosner and his wife Shawn Hosner enough for being so patient with me during this process, they've put a lot of effort into this show and I am deeply humbled by the caliber of artists slated to appear in this art event. I'm still blown away by the fact that they decided to include my work...

The following photos show my conclusion to this
long and drawn out process (no pun intended)...

Title: "Composing Shadows"

Thinkspace : Picks of the Harvest : Work in Progress II

I'm still in the process of finishing my new piece for Thinkspace Gallery's "Picks of the Harvest" show scheduled to open March 3rd, 2012. So far, I've been pretty astonished by the development of this image- a part of me still has no idea how it's going to all come together in the end, and as stressful as that may be at times, I can't help but be excited about the unknown outcome of the piece. The anxious anticipation is a large part of what fuels me through the late nights and long hours, which are necessary when running full speed towards a deadline. Cross your fingers for me please, as I attempt to finish this piece within the next few hours and drive it up to LA for what proves to be an amazing annual group show created by Andrew Hosner and his partner.

Thanks for checking in and maybe we'll meet for the first time at this show's opening night. 

Take care until then...

Thinkspace : Picks of the Harvest : Work in Progress I

Crunch time is quickly approaching as I attempt to wrap up a piece for Thinkspace Gallery's "Picks of the Harvest" show opening up March 3, 2012 from 5-8 PM. I've decided to take one of my three remaining pieces from the series I started back in December of 2011, and develop the visual story a little further. The image area will be a bit more packed with information, so I may attempt to use a little more color this time in order to separate some of the dominant themes and characters occurring in the work. Once again, I'm still rather intimidated by the thought of using more color, but I'll have to break out of this irrational fear sooner or later... hopefully sooner than later.

 

 Wish me luck for the final outcome of this piece, thanks for checking in and maybe we'll meet for the first time at Thinkspace Gallery's "Picks of the Harvest" opening.

Take care until then...
