"Diner Aliens" Alcohol markers, 17 x 14 in. Finished September 2023.
My first big project from my Drawing 2 class, we had to draw the illusion of depth! And the first illustration I did with my markers I think! Up until this I just used my markers for observational/life drawing. The name is kinda on-the-nose and I wanna change it but I can't think of anything better...
If you didn't see my Instagram story earlier this week I had over 20 prints/$300+ worth of art stolen from me at my local antique mall. All my stock there is gone. Thankfully the suspect was caught on security cameras (the same man stole everything, and it was not easy because everything was scattered around my friend's booth so this was very deliberate) and we filed a police report but I'm not feeling optimistic about any of this :,) Nothing else was stolen from the booth even though my friend had so much more objectively valuable stuff, so I'm left with so many questions. I'm fine for now, but this is a frustrating and confusing setback.
Do you think some oldhead is tickling his pickle to my art? (Be honest)
I started such a silly little thing for no reason at all the other day.
I got a jumbo pack of Sharpies for the holidays and wanted to doodle on my art case. Started drawing an eye and it got Trigun-coded real quick.
Unsure what else is going on it but just kinda having fun with it ya know?
(Also I really wanted Milly and Meryl’s eyes there too but didn’t quite leave enough room? I may find a spot to do theirs together on their own. :] My girls deserve love too!)
Man. I remember the leaves and trees took me FOREVER! Still super pleased with the way it turned out.
Some of these pieces- even 2\3 years old- continue to absolutely REEK of sharpie (my tool of choice). I always joke that the high of the pens boost my creativity. I don’t know if it’s true but it’s a nice way to spend the afternoon ;)
This Sharpie art started out with one skeleman until he secretly told me he wanted a skelewoman so he wasn't lonely. The theme was red. They are now happily married 😊
