Art Archives. Part 1.

My photo files on my computer are a hot mess right now.  In the process of searching for some photos, stored away in the oblivion of hard drive land, I found this:

I did this particular drawing in my college drawing/comp. class about a year (or so) ago, modeled from a magazine image.

I guess I should start up the art again, as I truly love it. 

 I much prefer painting to drawing, but it is a great exercise in discipline, lighting, and composition. 

{I secretly dream of having a gallery show of my paintings.  Something fun and whimsically thematic}

Adios, Mural. {An Example of Stellar 'Street Art'}

Okay, I am seriously glad I got a picture of this awesome mural, painted on the side of an art supply store near Old Town, in SD.

How cute is that?

Because...

It's gone.

Painted over: sad, plain white.  With a sign:  We've Moved!

Glad the store is still rockin' in the area, and I'm sure they will jazz up the side of their new location.

But, I loved this mural.

{Sigh}

Times, they are a-changing.
