Here are the other 2 pieces from this series all finished!

Let me know what you think!

the subconscious sketchbook

These are some of the pages I did for my subconscious sketchbook class. The class really helped me reconsider the definition of what a sketchbook is. I've never been a sketcher or a doodler but collage has always come very naturally to me. Aaron Leighton really helped me to get in touch with this subconscious part of my artistic self and it's really inspired my illustration work. This semester I'm going to try to translate this style into a more editorial format for my thesis.

straight B student

I used to strive for A's. Not anymore. Now I strive just to get the work done and have it presentable to hand in. Some how the marks just don't matter like they used to. Although, there's nothing more validating than seeing that A on the back of a project. Even if I really like the way a piece turned out I don't expect an A on it. They're hard to come by so I don't take it personally. Plus my initials are AA so I have a permanent set of A's that are all mine all the time.
