Nickelodeon's Orange Spectrum

My final semester at Alfred I took a class called Drawn to Diversity. It explores diversity, in all forms, in animation, comic books, and advertising. The program presents for fellow students, for kids' schools, and at Comic Conventions. Our class focused on animation, and specifically, I studied Nickelodeon, the children's television channel.

CORNING LIGHT SHOW ON THE BRIDGE: AWESOME.

Alfred University presented a light show Friday night during the Glass Art Society's conference in Corning, NY. The Corning Museum of Glass is a hot spot for all glass enthusiasts, including my flameworking-friend Ruth and I. The student glass exhibit was fantastic and the light show was beautiful.


I entered two of my pieces, the Basket starfish and the Shrimp.

Songs:

59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) - Simon and Garfunkel (YouTube)

Blinded by the Light - Bruce Springsteen (YouTube)

This is my drawing for this weeks' Illustration Friday topic: Cracked.

I really want to get back into drawing. I like textures, and want to render the detailed texture of skin. Here's a starter. Stay tuned for more zoomed-in drawings.
