Toucan KaBLAMN!

(not really sure what type of Toucan this is, I took the reference photo at La Specola in Florence, Italy.)

Going back to making textures and cutting them out of paper, but still need to mix it with the ol wax jutsu. So far I’d say this is pretty nice, looks like my old professor Julia might have been onto something when she told me I should stick with cutting out textures. However, this piece is far from finished and I realize I don’t really know all that much about backgrounds. Where do I start?

The Classic Espresso

I started a series of different Espresso drinks last year with Cafe Bon Bon and I’ve gotten around to add another to the set. The classic Espresso.
No narrative or conceptual approach, just a personal series to explore techniques and mediums.

You saw the Cardinal and the Ukulele so here’s the Indigo Bunting I’ve been working on, well one of them. Same as the rest, I plan on selling these too from moo.com and Imagekind.
