(Sorta) Got into AI-AP!

So, I'm not sure whether to be excited or disappointed, but I think I'm more excited than disappointed, because at least I got my foot in *a* door (the image above made it in) ... I got into AI-AP's website portion of the competition (I think 500 people got in... which is why I'm a bit dissapointed, but hey, something's better than nothing? Maybe this is a good thing?) On the bright side, because I (sorta) got into it... I do get an invite to the party? (yay!) So maybe i'll bump into some big-wig illustrators while I'm there. *feels smug*

Also! Going to have more art at Destination NY's gallery again! The opening is April 30th from 6 to 8 pm. I'm going to try my hardest to be there, but if you don't have anything to do, definitely swing by and say hello!

It's out, go get it!!

Faesthetic #11 is out! I'm in it, so go get it! :)

Seiten.

So... seiten... should be the BEST invention of the century... you can offically call me addicted... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm gluten... Yes, my choices in food have changed mainly because i'm in love with a vegan... but omg... if I knew half the stuff that I know now, I totally would have done this a long time ago *rubs belly*

I've gotten into the habit of drawing 360 degrees

... only because I hate it when people on the train look over my shoulder when I draw... so I end up rotating my sketchbook to the least drawn on area of the spread... and covering the rest with my arm... not sure if that's the best way to do it, but it makes it easier for me to ignore idle eyes... :D

I've also gotten into the habit of scanning my sketchbook pages pre-maturely... Like the last post of my sketchbook... has a bunch of other sketches on it now... hmm...

Moloko+ feature!

Picked up / downloaded the most recent copy of Moloko+ yet? Well... I'm in it! :) Drop by the site to get the most recent Issue #8. Thanks Moloko+!! :)

Love is in the air...

...every where you look around... ! ...blah blah blah, and however else the song goes... This new piece is about 17" x 18"... started in acrylic and ink, and finished on the computer.

And in other news... I've been getting into vegan/raw food lately and... who knew it tasted so good?!?! There were things that tasted like milk and ice cream that had no milk or butter or ANYTHING in it!! Crazyyyy....!! I love it! Any who, here are some more sketchbook pages... I still can't believe I paid so much for my new sketchbook this time. Do not... I repeat... DO NOT buy moleskin sketchbooks from Utrecht... Save yourself the $5 and get it at Barnes and Noble!



PS. I'm on twitter thanks to a certain someone who forced me to join! I feel so up-to-date again!! SO MODERN YET FUTURISTIC! My username is inulg.

Laura workin' in the studio...

This isnt a very big update, but when i get a bit more energy I'll post a bit more pieces that I've finished over the last month... I've also put a few things on my Etsy... take a look..


I started working on a good sized painting based off of the sketch below:



Faesthetic stuff....


a little snippet from another project finished not too long ago (it's cropped though)...




And another shot of me working in my studio... Thanks for reading!

This isnt an excuse but...

I've been pretty busy ( I swear!! ). Proof can be seen in my studio/living room... (yeah, I know, I know... I need to get a real studio space... )

And here's another preview of something else... Yes, another crappy phone pic, but... its just enough to get you wanting to see more, right....? I promise I'll post everything up once I've finished it all (which will probably be sometime this week!!! I'm not sure how I'm going to pull that off, but I guess its going to have to happen!)

Preview - Black and Magenta

Here's a preview of something new I'm working on... (which i think will be finished waaaay ahead of schedule because I'm a horrible over achiever when it comes to deadlines ...) But overall, this is turning out pretty sexily ...

Yaymonday.com!

So, apparently i've been featured in issue #52 of yaymonday.com!
Yay!
