Students' work







I forgot to mention that I was teaching art to my 8th graders and showing a few of them how to use photoshop. The girl was drawn by a young girl name Alexandra Martinez (14) and the boy was drawn by Michael Smith (also 14). It took them a lil while to complete these… so show some love!

Cartoon Crushes...




So I’ve recently recognized I have an unhealthy affinity to cartoon females. I dunno, maybe it’s spring in the air, but I’ve now become quite certain that the girl I need may not be necessarily 3 dimensional… or in some cases… not necessarily human. Anyway, before you judge me, (you hypocrites), which of you dudes hasn’t had some crush on Lola bunny, Jessica Rabbit, Betty Boop, or the likes when you were a kid. Or Gals, what about Prince Eric from little Mermaid, Kit from tale spin, or maybe Aladdin? No matter, I’ve come to recognize that these harmless crushes, if not purely an indulgence of nostalgia, are completely the reflection of our ambitions concerning our own character and our expectations within the tangible realm of the spousal endeavor. In case you didn’t understand what I just said, not to worry, I’m not sure I did either. Any who, I’ve come to realize that the more I draw these feminine icons of animation, the more I can cope with the fact that on Thursdays and Mondays I curl up in a ball and eat HaagenDaas ‘til I throw up or passout indefinitely! So to Erin from esurance, Eve from Wall-E, Princess Atta from Bugs Life, and all the rest of my lovely animated ladies… this half-pint mocha almond fudge is for you!
