The previous post was a lie. I actually painted this after 26 days of no food or water, wandering through the Arabian Desert in search of the base station of the malevolent guerilla warriors who put me there. I found them and convinced them they needed me alive, but was given water only after I completed a self portrait using their dried up oil paints.
I tried oil painting this semester. It felt nice getting away from the computer and working with such a tangible medium. I’ve never painted before, and now I feel like I’ve been missing out on one of the most therapeutic means of expression. It was so freeing!
(We had to “alter” ourselves in some way, so I wrapped a sheet around my head)
My artwork is coming. As soon as I get a chance to sit down, I’ll begin putting up my recent drawings and animation tests up here, along with some music I’ve been working on.

I’ll be doing a lot of high school senior pictures this year, so shoot me an email or call me if you’d like some more details about it.
For those who missed the bus ride, here’s the video from November (thanks Steve and Evan). Thank you all so much for making it awesome (including the random people riding the bus!). 58 days ’till the big day! Woohoo!
How will Blogger compare to Tumblr?
lillian - Hi Curtis,
It’s basically a photoshop layer multiplied ontop of the sketch. I use one of the wet brushes, and you can definitely use colour.
Thanks!
Lil
