a quick glance back

me with the hoodie and baseball cap, double fisting drinks


Hey folks,

I arrived back from Dallas inspired. We stumbled into some exciting stuff there, and it was great to get some of the old crew back together for a weekend.....(there was less scotch involved than I had hoped, but oh well)

Cocacola



Demons on the shoulders of angels


I don't feel like either of these sketches are "finished", but I'd like to chronicle their progress so I am gonna post them now, and then again when they are "done". More and more often I open my sketchbook intending to start a drawing, and then spend hours adding frosting to an old one. I feel like if my sketchbook had a timeline it would look something like this---->

I like layering things on top of each other, and seeing what happens when I reuse old imagery.

I'd also like to add how incredibly impressed I am by the artists I graduated school with. Everyone has made incredible strides individually, so a huge shout out to all you recent Ringling alums. I am REALLY blown away by what everyone is producing on a daily basis. It's really kept me in check, thanks.

...and thanks for your time,
-Tamte

Mmm.... sketchbook pages. Only like two kids I work with keep sketchbooks, it sucks. Your blog is always good for a fix, though, Adam. Hope you doing well.

I feel like I'd have the same timeline if I'd work in a sketchbook with paint, I can't stop fiddling when I work traditionally. There's always that moment where you know you shouldn't touch it, and you do and you screw up :)

man I also wish i'd gone to ringling, but just too far away :)
keep going!
