An artist is a dreamer

consenting to dream of the actual world." ~George Santayana
Well I googled  "dog cones" and surprise! People wearing dog cones came up. So here are some pics...


 

Not really a dog cone but general idea
 That one is just sort of...weird...but eh




 Now for mildly more interesting artists I cameth across
I just found this picture on the front page of deviantart and thought it was cool.
By: http://tabon.deviantart.com/

This is by Scott C...http://postercabaret.com/scottc.aspx

Zest is the secret of all beauty.

There is no beauty that is attractive without zest." ~Christian Dior

I think I went with this quote because I have a character named Zest...and I wasn't exactly attracted to any of the zen quotes murr..

Here are some pics of the construction of the moquette cold wire connections for Foundations...



So. Now for some artists who influence my decisions...woohoo!
Well...I'll start off with a huge influence off of these peeps on deviantart...I can't say that they really influence my project but they do influence my art (so therefore they influence my project?) in ohsomany wonderful ways that I do love. These are just a few off of the literally hundreds of artists I watch on dA ahaha :'D
number of times 'influence' appeared in the above paragraph: 4.

Here are two blogspot artists that I also enjoy:
http://iainmccaig.blogspot.com/  & http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/

Some fashion designers...well I honestly don't know of any by name except Alexander McQueen and that was just because one of my buddies is into fashion and she had a facebook status about him dying so I looked him up...he is quite amaaaaazing if a bit odd. Which is fine. 'Cause I'm odd too.
Here's a artist I jsut found too thanks to my highschool art teacher aha
Mark Wagner

You can never underestimate

the stupidity of the general public." ~Scott Adams

Here are some of my assignments that have been due on here for Foundations, including: 5 concept thumbs of Harold in dif settings, 6 pics of linear objects, and recently our drawings of concept linear garments....I think we were supposed to put that on the blog at least....
 & concept drawings of wire/yarn garments...




Now for some (hopefully) linear objects...
 Took this pic before my IS class...soo..Space Needle...that's pretty linear...I just like this pic :c

 close-up just cause I like telephone poles & the wires aha
 I think if this was extended upwards it'd be more linear....mur
 pretty sure this doesn't cut the bait as linear...



Ehhhh...and yes...

and here's a very simple animation I did  for Digital and laughs
Oooook.

I was very tempted to out up another schmoyoho youtube vid...but resisted ahh. Instead I'll go with this Disney song because I dreamt he chased me last night aha (he can ruuunnn lol)and even though he was friggin' chasin' me he actually ended up helping me out at the end of the dream. Hmm..
