What IS it?

(approx. 24x24 softpastels, masking tape, acrylic medium)

People who I have been talking to about this piece apparently have a hard time knowing what it really is. So what IS it? Whoever guesses right will win a flash portrait of themselves. Is it worth anything? Nope, but it's fun. The people that I have specifically told what this is aren't allowed to play; I'm sorry.

I will say this though, it is a close up image. Of what? You tell me.

Repetitive Drawings = fixative and a lot of it

I was originally going to draw 100 charcoal images of myself in a walking sequence to create a 10 x 10 image art piece, but it became too much work for the deadline I had to make. After not being able to pull off 9 x 9, I concluded with 64 images for 8 x 8. After scanning and uploading all the drawings, I was able to project the images in sequence to produce a charcoal drawing animation on to the 8 x 8 images on the wall. Maybe I'll upload the animation some other time.

Meet the boyfriend, Matt. He likes socks.

Actually it came about from the short story Johnny Mnemonic by William Gibson. Enjoy.

I love all these Macromedia Flash produced adaptions I've been making. They're techinically art, but I would just call them fun and fast drawings. This is one of the pictures I am going to paint; not looking exactly like this of course. I'm sorry if my flash skills disapoint, they disapoint me too.

This is how I felt today with my art...having something familiar right in front of me, yet I feel like there is still so much more to know about it.

"Orange Couch"

it took me awhile to pull this picture together to actually make it look somewhat real, and then i went and added myself into it and ruined all my hard work. this is the version without me photoshopped into it; that one won't be shown until i can find a easier version of myself to paste into it.

Blog Description: So you know "What is Up, Yo"

2008-10-15T18:30:00.000-07:00

This blog is basically described by the title, "My illustrated life". All my blogs are going to be drawings, photos, or art (of some other kind) focusing on an aspect of my life within the past week, or an idea or thought process I had. Just to make it clear, everything on my blog is created by me unless stated otherwise.

Example A:

photo by tracy-lynn chernaske (you see? Because I didn't take it...it's just that easy)

If there is no name, just assume I created it with my genius. So this hopefully will be a fun blog to read, and to "write". Hurray for creative minds!

Oh, I'm also happy about people with scientific minds...without them I wouldn't be able to scan my pictures onto my computer to put them on the internet...brilliant...
