What's done is done.

My computer's harddrive died not too long ago, and I lost all my photographs and new digital art. Though this was a complete tragedy for me, I suppose this gives me a fresh start. Since I got a new tablet over the summer, I've been needing to do some more digital art, and I fully intend to. The last time I sat down and did that I had a lot of progress and some great images. In memory of all the files lost, I am going to post a few pieces I haven't posted here before. Sorry about the large image sizes, but I'm not shrinking these.
First, I want to post one of my digital works I lost the working file to when the HD crashed. It was the second one I worked on when I started, and my favorite, entitled Wrap its arms around me:



This one was part of my 50 Works, entitled I didn't do it on purpose :

My paintings usually have to do with some kind of childhood trauma, and what I was exploring at the time were my own traumas and personal symbolism.


This one came from the second series I did, though this is just a detail as the series was hard to photograph due to the shininess of the finish. This series consisted less of the personal symbolism and more of the universal implications of my own childhood experiences. The finished product consisted of 8 25"x25" painted and carved wood panels. Sadly, they were damaged when I put them into storage, and before I can properly document them I need to rework and fix them >:

And finally, I have a video of the class project I did with my Creative Sculpture class. We were working with the idea of large sculpture that could be broken down and set up anywhere. Originally, we were going to work with newspaper, but the prof canceled that and told us to work with plastic sheeting instead! We ended up making a haunted house.



Hopefully I'll start posting some fashion stuff in here soon. I've recently been dressing either in pajamas or work clothes, so I haven't had anything to really document there.
Later!
