Let's Etch

I finally got to try out some printmaking while at the Academy. This was the most involved of all the prints--an etching using a copper plate. I had a few accidents along the way, but they ended up working quite well which makes me even more proud of the print.

This one goes out to you Sara Thompson!

Week 3

Portraits! One of my favorite things in life. Anderson Cooper and Betty White, in all of their mixed media glory.

On a more general note, The Illustration Academy was THE best thing I could have done with my summer. I would recommend it wholeheartedly for anyone who is serious about this whole make a living doing what you love business, and I am planning on returning to Kansas City at one point or another without a doubt. To those of you who were there, I miss you tremendously.
