Loose Germs

some sketches from my time at the Terrain Annex today

Update dump

Pic 1. Needed a picture of myself working for my Terrain Annex profile and figured I'd share here. Shouts out to my sister Melissa for taking the pic a few days ago.

Pic 2. And with that I figured I'd share some progress taken today, though I'd say 90% of it was done in the last month or so, so I still got a ways to go.

Pic 3. Photo of my piece Muse at the Terrain Gallery for the Fundraiser show tonight! Admission is free, dj and no-host bar, 628 N Monroe, 6-9 PM, though get there early if you're planning on purchasing a piece. Registering at the link helps u get in quicker - https://bit.ly/TGFundraiser

Pics 4-5. On the other side of this dividing wall in the gallery is the Annex for Spokane artists. I have my Moto piece there, though I'd like to get a new piece in some day. But I'd recommend checking it out, I've only captured a fraction.

1 month update - didn't work on it much the last 2 weeks. I know I'm going to finish this one, so i thought regular updates would inspire a quicker pace than the last piece - but things happen in life and also just need to step away from it sometimes and come back with a new perspective. I don't have a sketch for this and about 5 percent i might pencil out to get a feeling for how it fits compositionally. So i'm just going ink to paper (though very often with the aid of a projector for collaging the individual assets - most of the collaging is done paper side, not screen side in photoshop) and making it up as i go, and I don't want to force things i can't erase. Thanks for viewing, if I don't have an update in a month or so I'm probably just waiting till it's done and that may be a while.

Other news -

Fugue is due any day now to be wrapped around the signal box at Regal and 39th, Spokane :) I should be getting a pic of that. Went yesterday to get some pics, but it wasn't up yet.

I was scheduled to be working today at a new Terrain store opening up alongside the gallery at 628 N Monroe, but it's been pushed back. So now I'm scheduled to be there, though tentatively, Sep 28 4-7. Excited about having a location in Spokane I can sell art, so hoping to create more pieces to sell there in the future, but only have a framed Moto in at the moment. Possibly bringing a framed Muse (scene 4 piece with the yellow pedal bike and trees and owl and person). I'll get a picture of them at the place when the day rolls around.

Figured I'd share this here since I shared it on my personal fb - kind of stopped working on this one, it was starting to feel kind of messy, and I wasn't sure how copyright stuff would play out with AI - but this was probably around a 100 renders using Dream AI by WOMBO + a few stock and of course illustration. Was going to title it 'Tempest,' but then I took the idea and started doing a large National Geographic collage the size of Fugue - but it went in the trash. So it goes!
