two new drawings, one new painting

as promised, i finished all the new stuff up and photographed things this weekend. these quiet drawings are a huge pain in the ass to photograph. after several attempts with my studio lighting, one stand's halogen burnt out, so what do you do? you go outdoors. there is plenty of snow on the ground, and there isn't a cloud in the sky, so things were perfect for good lighting.

i still feel strongly about my grass blade drawings. but like i said... they're incredibly difficult to shoot. even the professional photographer i work with has had a hard time with these drawings.

i'm not, however, completely nuts about the painting. it's not wonderful by any means, and on top of that, it took painstakingly long to finish because of a huge array of problems. these carved text pieces are extremely difficult to pull off. the only one i feel strongly about throughout the years is this one, if i may link to my main site.

but i digress. here you go. enjoy.
