meh still kind of a wip. impatient to start posting art again, even if it is really subpar. been so preoccupied with my baking blog that ive pushed this blog to the side, a lot. might prefer baking to drawing nowadays…cuz its something i feel im better at? idunno anymore. just a late night and a bad mood.

Im trying to get back into the whole art making thing, post thesis.  It’s hard.

last minute prep for the thesis show. i got a bit lazy and tired.. 

may as well bombard you all with my schtuff. 

these ladies are in progress, joining all the other in progress paintings in my studio soon. 

i find that i like starting paintings and then once it gets too boring (im very easily distracted) I lose my patience and am left with no energy or desire to finish them. Like I’m excited to start a third painting soon… but am really annoyed at the prospect of having to finish these two. I guess i find rendering really tedious and tiring, even though its a big part of my practice. 

eh.

TOMORROW: Meringues and Owl Stickers. 

Only at the OCAD University Zine Fair from 11-5pm!!!!

Get em while they’re hot! See you all there!

-Susie

On a whim decided to make victorian house stickers for the zine fair tomorrow as well. If i had more time I would have drawn them out, but the photographs are lovely, and remind me of summer months in rural Ontario. 

so. this is a sketchbook assignment for an illustration class.. about debt and money issues. we had to create something without using cliche elements like piggy banks and banknotes. So I created a mountain and space.. and fragments of my resume sent out into the world.. ie space. idunno. the colours are nice at least.
