February Art Updates

Open/Closed Projects

February. Février. I finished the French Supper Club Menu. It printed differently than my digital design, which was disappointing because I know better. Oh well, I’ll do better next time. I had a vision of my menu card having crisp, professional-looking scalloped edges, but I’m not sure where to get that done, especially for only a few prints. I only needed three menus, so I cut them out with scissors. Other than the print job, I’m really pleased with the design. The dinner was phenomenal. I’m attaching photos from that night because it was all art.

The goose and nude piece is still in process. Honestly, I haven’t touched it in a long time, which doesn’t feel good. I set out to work on it in January with the intention to put it on paper as soon as it was a complete idea, work on it almost every day, and finish in a timely manner. The goose and woman figures themselves are nearly done, but the question of what to do with the background is holding me up. 

I’d also like to come up with a name for the piece other than Goose and “woman” or “nude woman” or “nude” before signing off on it.

Next Projects

The next supper club will feature Vietnamese food! I’ve already finished the menu and will try to get it printed at a local shop this time (and make sure everything is in order with my file before sending). I’ll post the design after supper club.

Sketchbook

Instead of only using colored pencils for my sketchbook pages, I’ve moved to using a combination of colored pencil, Tombow marker, and pen. It’s fun. I’m trying to keep it light and playful.

‘Til next time,
