from drawing class


That shiny spot in the middle is from the camera flash reflecting off the graphite.

Sketches



I got my wisdom teeth out and have had a lot of spare time...

Some good book covers according to me are:
  • Fuzzy Dice by Paul Di Filippo
  • Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde
  • any "Clementine" book by Sara Pennypacker
  • 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson
  • Peeled by Joan Bauer
  • both "Mysterious Benedict Society" books by Trenton Lee Stewart
  • most things by Haruki Murakami
  • Deceptive Desiresby Serita Stevens ... just kidding. (Am I?)
  • .... and of course ALL HARRY POTTER BOOKS EVER.

I did this using what we learned about vector images or whatever.
i don't think I like the dots in the background.

Still in progress.

There's no "deadline" without "dead"


I drew this while I was freaking out about the title sequence project, but it still applies while I'm freaking out about the map project.

I did this sketch a long time ago (see the date). Probably during drama.

Follow me!

I have another blog on Tumblr:
http://carriecupcake.tumblr.com/
I post other things on here like my one video that I've made and more of my photos that I've edited, if you're interested. But I post them anyway even if you're not.

Look What You've Done.


I just saw this guy chillin' on the web while I was looking for a new owl necklace to purchase. Mine's getting lonely even though I keep it with the four-soon-to-be-five-when-I-finally-put-up-my-candle other owls on my bookshelf. I stole the phrase from 4minute's new video "Hot Issue" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAAfW9PvkrQ) The girl on the far right is wearing a shirt that says "Look what you've done." I plan on making a screen print with a different font when I finally buy transparencies.
P.S. 4minute is a relatively new Korean band that I like well enough to listen to. But as far as girls go, Wondergirls are way better.
P.P.S. I love dating things "09." I think the numbers look good together. Also I hated how my 8's looked.

Sad Times for Not-Me


I did this sketch REALLY quickly. Sorry for the bad proportions and perspective...

Cupcakes!


I really love cupcakes. A ridiculous amount, really. The best part of these is the funfetti icing and pecan hearts. Because cupcakes are simply not cupcakes without sprinkles of some sort.

TEA!


I love tea. I used to want to own a bakery that sells all sorts of fancy things like cupcakes and sophisticated teas. Now that I'm thinking about it again this seems like a pretty good idea. Too bad I can't cook.

M*A*S*H


This is an old sketch, actually. I was costume head for my school's production of M*A*S*H, and was designing a costume for the Bonwits (who weren't in the TV series.)-- USO performers. The finished product looked somewhat different from this sketch.

OWLS.


inspired by my great-grandmother's necklace.
