Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill
Another from the figure drawing sketchbook and not an assignment either. I think she's a little too narrow, but her hoodie looks good.
Hailey
When I was sitting in the art building lobby during my last semester of college, I made friends with this girl. It's a shame that one of the guys from my video group offended her by asking for sex. Social interactions were never the same after that.

People Sketch
These were done about 4 years apart. The pencil one was at the start of college and the pen one was at the end. Both were done from photos. I can't tell how much progress was made because it's my own work.
Thomas
I met a good friend in a terrible class at MCC. He looked so serious while doing his presentation that I gave him a happy and colorful background.

Fatty Boom Boom #5
This was the main model for figure drawing class. That meant she came in 2 or 3 times. The prof said to put her poses across the page and I watercolored it later.
Abstract City
I don't really know what I was doing with this, but I think it looks cool. Probably watercolor and ink. It was in an old sketchbook.
Watercolor Self Portrait 3
Another self portrait from high school. I had just gotten a large mirror and decided that I was always there to draw myself.
Blues Brothers diner scene
I drew the Blues Brothers for my dad's Christmas present last year. It's one of his favorite movies and he's almost blind, so I didn't have to do a very good job. I think they're alright.

Self Portrait in Watercolor
Another high school piece. I did this at home and remember trying to break all of the watercolor rules that I was being taught in school.
Still Life Watercolor
I painted these in high school, so they would be from 1998 - 2000. I pulled a bunch of old stuff for the library display.

Popcorn Sutton
This is from a sketchbook for an art class. I don't think it's that good because I didn't grid and measure. It looks impressionist to me.

3 Billy Goats Gruff Scene
This is the largest and most complex thing that I have ever made. I did the goats first with pipecleaners, then the troll and added denim from jeans as well as hemp twine, jute twine and cotton string and some beads. The upper background is purple paper wrapped around cardboard. I then used watercolors to apply a base coat and applied some crayon. Finding this too dull and muffled, I edged with marker and brightened things up with some oil pastel. The bridge is popsicle sticks glued together. I tied them with pipecleaners. The pipecleaner waterfall is on top of a heavily sculpted carboard base section. I did paper mache on it which I painted a dark greyish brown and dry-brushed highlights on.
