Artist Statement Project #1: For my art project I decided to do something relating to Disney's animated film adaptation of Lewis Carrol''s novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I have always been intrigued by both the novel and the movie so I decided to draw my picture about it. I wanted to draw the characters from the story, and I wanted to make the picture "trippy" and colourful. My cousin Alex helped me with drawing the characters and he added the detail to the tree bark, he was a big help. For my media I used graphite pencil, coloured pencils, and a sharpie pen.

Work In Progress: Final:

Artist Statement Project #2: For my art project for the second quarter I decided to draw a moose and a wizard. I really didn't know what I wanted to draw so I asked my friends for suggestions, one suggested a moose, and another a wizard. I totally dug both ideas so I decided to draw them together. I decided to make the background a desert because I just wanted to, and because the colour of the sand complimented the colours of the moose and the wizard. I drew a camel, and a cactus in the background because they are both found in deserts. I added a sun and made it have a cheerful expression because I was feeling rather chipper. For my media I used graphite pencil, coloured pencils, and a sharpie pen.

Artist Statement Project #3: For my art project for the third quarter I decided to draw the cover to Miss May I's CD Apologies Are for the Weak. I've been listening to that CD a lot recently and realized that it had some really awesome looking album artwork. The cover was done by the artist Dan Mumford, which is now one of my new favourites. For my media I used a graphite pencil for the initial sketching and I went over it all in a sharpie pen.

Final: I didn't get to fully complete my project yet for this quarter. The task was very difficult and it took me a long time to get it to where it is right now. I plan on adding colour and a few more details to it soon.

Artist Statement Project #4: For my art project for the fourth quarter I decided to draw a picture depicting my friends in a crazy way. I used prisma-colour markers, which I am highly fond of. I added detail to the image by cross-hatching, which is another technique that I commonly like to use in my artwork. I have recently discovered a lot of artists who put a ridiculous amount of detail and lines into their artwork, and their pieces are inspiring me to create many more creative and experimental works.
