Sailboat

This pencil drawing is pretty cool. I need to keep working on the splash under the sail and add more darks its a little washed out.

Winch & Rope

This was also made last year and again my scanner is too small. I don't really like the rope behind it, it's kind of awkward and doesn't give it any context. Also the rope around the winch doesn't go anywhere. The winch handle's perspective is messed up too. Besides that it's sweet

Abstract Blobs

I drew this sometime last year. I really like the different shapes that form depending on which part you focus on. The top and left are cut off because my scanner is lame and too small.

Album of the year.

This interactive video "The Wilderness Downtown" is epic: http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/

It takes google images of your hometown and puts them together using HTML5 into a custom "We Used to Wait" music video.

The Art of Jim Denevan

This is the unbelievable art of Jim Denevan, whose giant works of art vary from sandy beaches to dry deserts. This one picture is interesting because of the spaces he creates and the feel changes depending on which tone you focus on. Here's more of his stuff: http://www.jimdenevan.com/

This started out as a thank-you note for a family friends and it turned into a pretty interesting sketch.

This symphony is also new in orchestra and it's not too bad, just pretty fast. In a few days we're having a grab bag on this piece. Grab bag is where our conductor chooses someone from each section and assigns them a few lines to play for everyone. This results in a grade and they're usually not very good grades.

Mini Turban Pumpkins

This is a quick sketch of two turban pumpkins next to the contour drawing equivalent. Heres what they're supposed to look like: Turban Pumpkins

Beethoven's "Egmont"

This is a piece new to my orchestra (I play the upright bass). It's hard ugh.

Concept Speed Boat

I recently began sketching/designing small craft in hopes that I'll have enough time next summer to start building a boat of my own design. This is inspired by the sleek Wally tenders. Wally.com

Textured Acrylic on Bristol Board

My teacher had almost all of his classes crank out small rectangular paintings like this, and combined them in a program which created mosaics out of hundreds, thousands, possibly millions of pictures. I like this particular one because of the texture, especially how it stands out even in a scan.

5-point Perspective Inflated City

I drew this for a homework in last year's art class after my teacher had just finished teaching me 5-Point Perspective. The little boy adds a little different perspective and possibly a metaphor I haven't thought of yet. I later expanded this and have a large painting in 5-Point perspective I hope to upload soon.
