High school things I miss: wandering through my day covered in mystery art stains :( my spots...

I did my own version of biolante to fit with the death godzilla theme I have going with each one.

Felt like giving her more of a horrifying look due to the fact she’s dna of a rose, godzilla and a girl named Erika who is killed at a facility and her father decides to put her in a flower hybrid. She eventually loses her mind to godzilla and just being exploited to where she un consensually is put into the position until she dies and floats off into outer space.

Zumbro Bend/Three Desiring Bodies Opens at Rochester Art Center, Rochester, MN

Zumbro Bend/Three Desiring Bodies

Rochester Art Center

Opening Saturday, November 18, 1-4 pm. Artist Talk 2 pm.

Sinuous Bend Installation /Onofrio Gallery

 Gel Medium Lab/Davies Gallery

 Bait Shop/Nook Gallery

 Sound Compositions by Chooch Karton

In Zumbro Bend: Three Desiring Bodies, Minneapolis based visual artist Pete Driessen installs three separate site-specific works, each a different abstracted fork in the river ecosystem. Titled after the South Fork Zumbro River that winds around the Rochester Art Center, the artist illuminates meandering sociopolitical variants on the river as creative life force, terrain erosion and deposition, land extraction and water channeling.

Through the language of painting, form, and space, Driessen investigates river system topology, land erosion and sediment deposition structures, and the animate quality of flowing water systems. The Zumbro River, a Mississippi River tributary with three separate forks, offers three exhibit positions with distinct material situations.

The first fork, Zumbro Bend, reflects upon the river environments meandering erosion and deposition, with wood, limestone, and mixed media painting. The gallery floor serves as flood plain, with work arranged around the curvilinear structure of a river bend. In the second Gel Medium Lab fork, the artist experiments with gloss acrylic gel medium positioning the river via our human bodily connections to innate desire, creative production, and reproduction qualities. The third Bait Shop fork nostalgically reflects upon the artists locational identity within the water culture of the Minnesota & Upper Midwest through recreational and tinkering structures.

Amidst the duration of the exhibition, Driessen will present a choreographed sound performance with Pooch Karton, writer and artist dialogue, and a limited-edition artist’s book release.

"He lifts me up." "He keeps me grounded."

I FRIKKIN LOVE Ashton and Orym's dynamic. And what better symbol for them as a magical stone that floats?

I think it's their symbolic foils that make me love the pairing so much - stone and air. It's the same thing with Caleb/Fjord (fire/water) and a bunch of my other favorite ships.

Didn't quite achieve the ethereal smoky effect I wanted on the Brumestone. However, it's a lot better than my first few attempts. And I had fun with the airbrush and some of my new paint pens! The pose idea came to me when I was traversing the Water Temple in Tears of the Kingdom and gravity is just a little lighter there. Then I was drafting a bunch of different poses based on ballet dancers and then practicing drawing LOTS OF ROCKS.

I'm a little bummed that I wasn't able to finish this prior to their outfit changes and later GROUP DRAMA, but stupid hospital stuff happened, and I had to put this on hold.

Image description under the cut!

Medium: Copic markers, airbrush, acrylic paint pen, white gel pens, metallic watercolors, Sakura Micron pens

[Image Description: Ashton stands with his back the viewer, in what looks like a hazy demi-plane with no solid landscape. His right around is around Orym's waist, where the halfling hovers a little above him. Orym cradles Ashton's face with one hand, and his other on Ashton's back, his hand partially covering the "Just Don't" sewn into the back. It looks almost like it says, "Just Do It." Several large chunks of raw Brumestone float around them, giving off a hazy, magical aura. Ashton's head-lights sparkle above.

hi! here's a super fun commission I just finished for @effie-trinket!

it's on an 8x10 inch cradled wood panel. I used printed pictures, scrapbook paper, gel pens, acrylic medium, acrylic paint, and satin finish varnish!

I loved getting to do something from strange new worlds! celia rose gooding is so beautiful too so it was such a treat to work with a photo of them!

if you want something of your own then I'm currently available for commissions and have some stuff I've already made available! check out my pinned post for more info.

Hermit-a-Day May, Day 20: GeminiTay. Today's style/medium is watercolor painting! Y'know, because she's got a whole water theme going on... My vision for this piece was to have her floating on her back with only her face above the surface, but I'm not sure how well that comes across in the finished version. Watercolors are not one of my favorites to work with, but I do like how the colors turned out, at least. Materials and details under the read more!

Materials: Reeves watercolors (the 18-pack), UCreate watercolor paper, a handful of acrylic paintbrushes I had lying around (I have specific watercolor paintbrushes but they shed bristles all over and I can't stand them), and an 08 Gelly Roll white gel pen (for the eye highlights).

As I said above, I don't really like watercolors that much--at least, not using them "traditionally". I'm fine with using them to color in lined projects and stain embroidery or wood, but I hate the lack of control they give when outlining and creating shapes. I actually had to scrap my first version of this piece (which was just watercolors) because the features were super disproportionate. I started over with a pencil undersketch. I enjoyed working on this piece (sort of) but I'm grumpy about how the final turned out--like I said, I'm not sure if my vision comes across. I'll spare you my complaints due to Rule 4 of the challenge and say that I do like the piece overall! I like the way I did her freckles and her bangs especially! It's just that I'm a control freak and watercolors aren't...very controlled. It's like I'm fighting the medium instead of flowing with it when I work with them. Anyone have any tips?
