Wipe Your Feet Please!

These are two interiors I designed using mainly colored pencils.

Lights...Mirror...Action!

These are some details that were in the studio room of the Lexington Civic Center.  One is a mirror, and the top two are views of the same glass wall sconce.  I had time to draw these while Jaleel was busy teaching choreography for the Lexington Youth Theatre production of High School Musical 2.  The mirror is much bigger than it looks here and the sconces were much smaller!

Who Wouldn't Want to Live with This?

When asked to draw my bedroom (or in this case, dorm room) in its current state from memory, I already knew it would be a synch. How long could it take to make a bunch of scribbles across the page?!

Pure and Simple

Just passing the time while my Brita pitcher fills up.  I got this great item for Christmas from my sister.  My siblings seem to be the only ones who buy practical stuff!  My brother surprised me with a copy of the awesome book Vanishing Point by Jason Cheeseman-Meyer.

Class Exercise

These are two views of the crit. room during a drawing exercise for class.  It was fun to draw so many people at the same time, especially in a class room setting.  I think it's funny to see how differently people position themselves while drawing!

Studio 322

At yet another dance rehearsal with Jaleel, I decided to try out my new grey-scale markers. Jaleel is on the left, then Jennifer and Chamika, his two partners in the dance Mama Meets Mary.  At the moment, they are stretching while watching a video to inspire some of their movements in the dance.

Third Floor, EUC

These are some of the thumbnails I drew when I was exploring the EUC on the third floor. This was the first time that I actually realized the use of thumbnail sketches and view-finders!

Elliot University Center

View of balcony in the eating area.
View of the atrium from my window seat in the eating area upstairs. 

This is a view of an outside corner of the building from the lounge area on the top floor.

There are Fish in the Bathtub!

This was drawn during lunch on the campus of UVA.  I fell in love with the house-turned-restaurant!  There were purple walls, great artwork, amazing food and yes, a bathtub in the bathroom with several coy fish swimming around in it! 

But, I have to say... there was NO sweet tea to be found...

Material Mezcla!

This is kitchen I came up with when I was bored.  In highschool I always hated explaining that, yes, this is considered a sketch to me!

Behind the Scenes

This past semester was a busy one for my baby!  As a dance major, he was always in some rehearsal or another.  Outside of school, he was even choreographing for his hometown's production of High School Musical 2.  And everywhere he went, I went!  These are just two of the scenes I captured in one of our typical days!

Multitasking

Well this was a busy day for me! I had just gotten my laptop and had to take it to the computer people in the Forney building on campus.  (Very nice renovations, by the way!) So while I was waiting, I took out my sketch book and drew the lobby area.  On the same page I worked out a design for my tattoo, which I got later the same day!

Don't ever listen when people tell you that tattoos don't hurt! They're lying!
