Rdio: No, It Won't Be the Same

No, It Won't Be the Same: Ray 2014

This sketch piece was inspired by one of my favorite songs called 1961 (The Fray - Scars and Stories). Here recently my depression seems to have kicked in full force and it's being a dick for lack of a better term. At the time of this drawing I couldn't stop thinking about some really heavy things as well as the recent death of my step-mom. Originally the piece is just pencil - but because it became part of my Digital Imaging final, I added some digital color in Photoshop to make it stand out and I've fallen in love with it. I really just wanted to share this composition with you guys and I hope you appreciate it as much as I do. Even if it does have some sort of darkness to it.

Concordia Improvables

Last night we had our last show of the Fall Semester. It was a great show and I'm super proud of myself for making cast for my first show ever. Both shows were well performed guys! Here are a couple shots from both casts (some are my shots - other are my friend Step Jane's). In case you missed the live stream - Here's the link to the YouTube of it. Just skip to minute 20:00 because the first 20 minutes are basically standby. Can't wait for more shows. Next show is sometime in March, followed by our 24 hour Improvathon! And yes it means exactly what it says. 24 hours of non-stop improv by yours truly - The Concordia Improvables.

WIP: Digital R-Dio

Working on turning Rdio into a digital image file. Hopefully Once I do I can make stickers or something cool. Or he'll just be my experiment back into digital drawing. Anyway - Here is a work in progress photo (W.I.P.)
