walking in circles mumbling "polymorph is well established but almost too generic... and while imagomorph sounds interesting and ism ore unique, it's actual meaning falls a bit flat. metamorph is fine and gets the point across but has the same issues as polymorph and might even sound MORE generic..."

Hey! I haven’t been posting much as I’ve been really busy with school, so I thought I’d share some of what I’ve been doing! :-))

These are all from my illustration class,

1. Intro metaphorical portrait (draw something to represent you without drawing a person)

2. Create a beer label with the provided template + the name Dreamscapes

3. Create a fake concert poster for a band

4. An editorial illusion for an article about why we need sleep

5. A 45 minute exercise we did in class drawing our star signs

I just graduated art college and here’s a part of my final project! I included Oswald in it!

Hello! My name is Moriah and I am a junior in high school. I was wondering if I might be able to get your insight on a few questions I have?

I am in my final years of high school and am starting to think about college but I have no idea what I want to pursue. I know I love art, so for a long time I have been thinking about getting an art major or going to an art school.

I’m reaching out because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ART and I think you are a very talented artist! I have been in love with your art for so long and I am curious and wondering how you are able to fit drawing into your life?

1.) If you went to college for art, what was it like? Do you think going to school for art or having an art major is worth it?

2.) how can I fit art into my everyday life? I’m sure you have work and other things to do in your life so how do you balance it out? (I just want to know how you can draw as much as you do!)

3.) do you do art as a full-time career or part-time career? is it an alright source of income? If it is a part-time career, how do you balance work, personal life, and art?

Thank you so much! And sorry if these questions might seem personal. I just want to know how other artist manage to draw and create their work and still have an adult life. Thanks again, and thank you for being a huge inspiration in my life to create the art I love! Your art means so much to me!❤️❤️ ❤️

Hi Moriah! Thank you so much for your patience since it took me a bit to answer this. I'll do my best to be as honest as possible. 1) I think going to college can be beneficial even if I wish i'd done things differently. In hindsight I would have definitely taken more time to really look through all available options instead of gunning straight for the most "prestigious" looking colleges since the idea of having a big name school on your resume was pretty prevalent when I was growing up. I went to Savannah College of Art and Design or SCAD for short and while I don't regret the friends I made there, I do regret not understanding just how much an institution like that ended up costing in loans compared to what I got out of it education wise. It always hurts my heart to see other kids get chained to huge amounts of student loan debt that could have been avoided. And even then you don't necessarily need a college degree for every type of art job. Your portfolio is what really matters more to prospective work places if you're looking at a career related to art. I would also keep in mind that the field is very competitive depending on what your goals are. Do you want to get into animation? game design? illustration? comics? prop design, character design or environment design? ect ect. Always try and give yourself the best advantage you can with researched knowledge of what you might be getting yourself into. Also there is no rush to go immediately into college even if you're dead set on wanting to attend one. Please give yourself as much time as you need to really make that decision and, if you have the option, don't feel pressured into thinking you HAVE to make that choice immediately out of high school. 2) I do get quite a bit of production art done on my days off mostly since I'm very experienced in working on group projects like Mystery Skulls Animated. When you're doing art and production work with other people, there's a different mindset in that others are relying on you to keep decently productive so that you're not holding up the pipeline if you're dedicated to seeing a project through to completion. Now when it comes to purely fun art on the side, I've actually only recently started balancing my time out better with work to sketch since the draw back of working on a group project like this for so long is a certain level of burn out. I had about a 2-3 year period where I couldn't get myself to draw much of anything even if I was excited about something like a new game or animated series and it's taken awhile to come to terms with the time lost since my body and head needed that time to recover and that's something i'm much more ok with now. I'm not the absolute best on advice for time management unfortunately, but seeking out projects that might interest you and lets you collaborate with other artists is definitely one way to keep yourself excited and engaged when wanting to make art. Just know and/or learn your limits and you'll be better about not getting too burned out when trying to find that decent balance of art time and other life activities. 3) I actually don't do art full time even if that was originally the plan back in college. I personally found out that I didn't want to turn it into a job the closer graduation came, but that varies completely from person to person and plenty of up and coming artists have found fulfillment in having art be their job too. I used to make prints for conventions so that was a partial income source for a little bit, but again for me it got tiring and I ended up getting a different more physical job to supplement my income while still being able to have enough time to stick around with my friend group on our music video projects. And again there's no shame in taking some time in trying to figure out if you want to make art your job and coming to a different conclusion. Sometimes the things we plan when we're younger take a wildly different turn out of left field and education or job aspirations are very much included in that.

Anthotype collage

Images made with beetroot !

A similar process to cyanotypes, but instead you use natural light sensitive material from plants! I chose beetroot but you can use berries, spinach, turmeric, paprika and so much moreee

This process is so interesting to me!! I want to use it more and maybe even try it on ceramic !

<I edited the results on photoshop to make the images clearer - I’m still working on experimenting with this process and finding the best exposure times>

Late night art school thoughts

I have my first assessment of my second year tomorrow. The edge was supposed to be gone bc i have finished my first year and they cant kick me out anymore.

Yet, i feel stressed and anxious and there is no remedy i can quickly take.

But

Despite that

I keep creating. I keep telling and making.

My younger self (the girl in the blue pants in the comic) was a speedrunner in creating, it was all she did. Now theres supposed to be thought to it, meaning, symbolism, and sometimes that gets a bit much. And despite that i keep creating too.

I think i just realised that i am still able to create the things i wanna create, even under pressure. And thats good! Even if it doesnt take away from that pressure

Ill make post about my final products from this period soon too. They came out really well and almost exactly the way i wanted them too, which is really great :)

Much love to yall!
