Aborigines and Didgeridoos

For the past week and a half there has been an on going party at my friend Zach's house. There has been a constant flow of amazing people coming to stay and party.
There was one day where we pooled all our money and tried to throw a fantastic and wild party. This was the The Aborigine Party.
The idea was we'd cook food in the ground, cover our bodies in paint, play drums and didgeridoos and dance around a massive bon fire.
It... um... didn't quite turn out like we planned.
Our food didn't cook, we didn't play any instruments and our fire failed.
Aside from that, it was really fun, but it could hardly be called an Aborigine party. We will hopefully be attempting another one soon.
Here are some pictures!


James, our minstrel. This was the best picture taken from the party.


Our food basket. It did not cook at all... We had to use tinfoil and ovens eventually, it was terribly disappointing and un-aborigine like.

4th of July Sketches

There are lot of weird looking people on the beach.
I drew them when I wasn't busy being ravaged by the sun. I only wish I got more drawings done.

And Now for Something COMPLETELY Different...

I found an American Diner today.
It was amazing, free water, no cover charge and BURGERS.
Everyone spoke english, even the customers... it was so relaxing to be in the American element.

This is my placemat.
I was free to doodle whatever I wanted to. I miss drawing like this...



In its entirety!


The Rare and Beautiful Creature enjoying an ice treat... in a birds nest.




I really like this thing.
It was inspired by some graffiti I saw here.

Italy Sketchbook III

Rape of the Sabine Women, yet again. It really difficult to draw a statue from below. :/
"I like the spoofies..." Says Michaelle.
The Loggia is pretty awesome, there will probably be more sketches from there in the near future.


Inside San Spirito. Where I got viciously reprimanded in Italian for some mystery reason...
Hmm.
I got bored with the altar piece and decided to draw Michaelle and ManChild.

Italy Sketchbook II

I feel my ability slowly going down hill ....

Italy Sketchbook I

Quick crappy picture.
I have better quality images, but blogger in Italy doesn't like to upload pictures...

Jana

Quick ink drawing with white acrylic.

Art Dump 3

More old things, to make up for the lack of new things.

Communication Corporation!
Best band to dance to, ever.

Colored version. I unfortunately can't find this piece.
Ah well, I wanted to start a new one anyway.

Nothing says happy birthday like a brooding Shostakovich...

Gouache and Graffiti

Mmm... I think I have a case of the crazy eyes in this picture.
Anyway, this is a reversed image of a gouache painting I did in color class last week. I'm pretty proud of it! I only wish I had more time to finish it!


Since break started, I have just been drawing graffiti for people. I liked them so I thought I'd post them, just as my good friend Emily McMahon did... her blog is: http://emilymcmahon.blogspot.com/
