I GOT IN TO THE WASHINGTON PRINT GALLERY EXCELLENCE IN PRINTMAKING EXHIBITION.  WITH MY THESIS AND 2011 PRINTPORTFOLIO. YEAH IM CRAZY STOKED. 

Pensamientos de Nosotros (&wallpaper); 2011; Digital Print

I finished and submitted to the national gallary portrait contest. I wont find out if i’m a semi finalist until april 2012, Five whole months. I am nervous in every sense. Most of my faculty is behind me on this work, and so are my classmates. I with every fiber of my being, can only hope. If anything, there’s always in another 3 years. I’m excited to have the work up and i’m currently working on another print series. 

AND ITS PRINTED. IT EXISTS. I still have to do final touch ups….its a 44x44in print….

MY THESIS IS DONE.

Heres a few pictures till i post monday when i turn it in. It wont be the official thesis image (not till it gets installed) but, ITS DONE.

I never thought this day would come.

I’m Done. With. Thesis. 

Hellloooooooo sleep.

DECALS. Ceramic Screenprinted decals. i’ve so far taught my self how to do these, with very little instruction. They’re not that hard, but apparently they’re not reliable. I dont know. i’m crossing my fingers. /heres hoping/

Today, i’m unloading 3 kilns. Two bisque and one Test glaze. I AM REALLY hoping this turns out OK. /supernervous/ Also inaddition, its occured to me i may NOT have enough glaze for my objects. I need to go buy another jar of glaze…

EDIT: THE DECALS CAME OUT OF THE KILN AWESOME. 

So I’m now Two weeks and Two days out from thesis being turned in… and well i’m about 1/2 way done. Best part i’m going to Southern Graphics Next tuesday for my first road trip. I’m crazy nervous. one for will i get a lot out of it? and two: Will i get thesis done on time. 

So, soon keep check on me pictures of Thesis and process screenprinting will be up. Oh and Check the Corcoran Printmaking Blog too- Hopefully more print making things will be up! 

Color tests for my thesis. i think i’m going to do the blue tinted hue.

PAULETTE IS GOING TO SOUTHERN GRAPHICS @ ST. LOUIS! I’ve never been to St. Louis before matter of fact never been west before and i’m way too excited! i’m also going to do the open portfolio and HOPEFULLY see people about grad school and maybe get scouted and or sell prints.

Update on THESIS: Working on it. I promise. Pictures once something exists!

I am proud to say i’m a Lithographer. I am Proud to say i’m a Screenprinter. I AM A PRINTMAKER. 

I swear you’re wrong. 2011. Colored pencil on wood panel.
I feel like this may work as a series. I’m not sure how I feel about the way it looks. More so the light in my room is bad. It’s a starting point for the most part. I’ve never drawn on wood panel before. Any ideas?

EDIT: its a laminate over particle board. so its flat and smooth like woah. So sanding no need. i’m just having trouble with the colors and such.

Self Portrait 2011. Colored Pencil and Copic Marker

I feel like i look strange in this drawing. could be also because of the mood i’ve been in…

Progress 2007-2011. Jesus. I really dont draw enough. My drawing teacher from my freshman year i bet would be proud.
But this is progress, pencil and paper and no digital aids or even tracing. All of these are such drawings.  Not that its bad to trace or use aids or what ever, but its nice to appreciate what you can do.
