The Beginnings of a Beautiful Art Portfolio

Hey, guys.  I know I've been posting a lot of vital vocab lately (it actually makes up the vast majority of this blog), and it occurred to me that this isn't just a vital vocab blog.  It's a reading, writing, and art blog.  So why not make an art portfolio, eh?  Now, on Tumblr I'm SeptemberNinth92, and I was going to do this there, but in reality, I don't really go on Tumblr.  (Sorry guys, I know I should.)  So I decided I'll do it on here.  An put a photo gallery on the bottom of the home page, if I can.  Yup.

Unfortunately, none of the pieces here are very recent.  I'll add more pieces later under the label/tag "my art."  (Old pieces and new ones.)

One last thing: sorry for the horrible photo quality.  If I had a pro scanner, or even just a handheld camera available, I would use that instead of my sucky MacBook's cam.  (Sorry, Roy. - Yes, its name is Roy.)  In the future, I'll try to find a better way to upload pictures.  But so anyway.


Medium: Sharpie
An umbrella.  (I like umbrellas.)

Medium: Sharpie
A "Spiraling Square" we did in Op and Pop art last year.

Medium: Mechanical Pencil
I constantly, constantly draw eyes.  Usually just in black pen, but also in other colors when I have them.  This is in mechanical pencil, and also blue mechanical pencil (don't ask me where it came from).  And I usually draw just the right eye, but this time I went ahead to draw the other one and a nose.  Farthest I've ever gotten on those faces, I think.

Medium: Ballpoint Pen
Unfortunately, this isn't signed or dated, probably because you can see I never quite finished it.  I can tell you however, judging my the spiral that it was in, that it's probably from sometime last year.  And I bet I have a photo reference of the shoe on my old phone.

Medium: Number 2 Pencil
This one actually has nothing to do with my small obsession of drawing eyes.  It's an idea from a book I was/am kinda writing.  You can't tell, but it's dated 2/6/12, and the title is "Window," basing on the concept that the eyes are the window to the soul.  (Wow, my signature was tall back then.)

Thanks for reading (and looking)!
