Insides on Paper

Here's a couple of Thumbelina inspired drawings done at work.

A sketchbook?

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:01:00 +0000

I've quite recently bought myself a sketchbook. Haven't had one for years. It's strange really, but it's nice to know where all the last drawings I've made are at! :) - Normally I draw on loose leaf paper... which always seems to get lost in the shuffle.

Anyway, I've done a few watercolor sketches.

Here they are!

Thanks for checkin in!

And here's one on a piece of paper. What the hell why not.

Making Mirco's day...

I hope :)

Here's a couple of watercolors I've done in the past few weeks... I've been trying to keep doing one every night.. but that never happens.

More soon... maybe. ;)

Happy

Painted Sculpture

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 06:03:00 +0000

So here it is, the final, painted sculpture.

I wanted it to be a little dark... I was actually going to paint it black, but that was a bit too plain... so this is what it looks like now... Hope you like it!

Just a quick update:

Sculpture time!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 04:58:00 +0000

I always wanted to sculpt more... so now I am! This is a rough work in progress, hopefully done within the next few days so I can start another one...

This one's for you Anthony!

More Drawings...

Here's another fat bastard... I think
I love fat bastards...

A couple of skulls, I've been trying to
learn more about the face, and made
up couple of skulls

Something about this drawing I liked...
it was a super fast sketch done in the
morning...
And a quick paint of one of the skulls

Bossman..

Here's one of those monstrosities painted in roughly. .. I'm just learning to paint, so I'm having a hard time picking colors so bare with me!

Birth

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 07:45:00 +0000

Ok.. this is a disturbing one... but I just had to.

Walking to lunch the other day I saw a crow gagging... and I thought how funny it would be to have this happen... again, sorry, I know it's gross, just.. don't watch if you're sensitive :P

Enjoy!

:)

Wow. Almost made it a year.

Without posting :)

Seeing as I've started drawing more being on Barbie... the computers aren't as speedy as some, and I've had to release some Barbie energy on paper... so I thought about putting some of my new ones up...

I'm thinking about making one of them into a sculpture... but until I actually start it, I'm not saying anything. I'll hopefully do more of these, and start posting again... And I'm also thinking about painting a few of them... just cuz.

Thanks for checking them out!! And let me know what you think! :D

Later!

Tofino! whoa! It's a place in BC that's tucked away as far as Sydney is to Halifax. It's full of dangers :

The dangers of slipping,

the dangers of finding an eyeball in your beer, (not really)

the dangers of drinking out of a wine bottle at a fancy restaurant,

the dangers of falling in love with huge trees,

the dangers of being eaten alive by the same giant trees you just fell in love with,

the dangers of this temptation : it isn't a swing. it's a sling shot, obviously.

the danger of being dive bombed by a bald eagle

the dangers of Tsunamis,

the dangers of the moss-sloth

the dangers of me putting a napkin on my head in the same fancy restaurant and start acting like a pirate,

the dangers of great big slugs!!!! :

the explosive danger that comes with giant slugs playing chicken... tsk tsk.

the dangers of hunting great big slugs

the danger of finding some Ron in my sushi

And of course, the danger of relaxing.

Thanks for checking out this mother of all posts!

Flowers !

I walked around the streets last week and found a really creepy place...

Wrestlers and machinery... must be some sort of fetish ... :S

I was coming down from work today, and I saw these guys.

Thought I'd share :)

I got drawings coming up soon... just gotta get them in the computer...

More magic of Vancouver

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 19:56:00 +0000

Sooo here's a bunch of pictures from around the city, from the beautiful to the ugly...

I wanted to find Stanley park but I couldn't find it on my own, so I just kept walking around town. Then out of nowhere, I saw trees in the distance, and I walked in that direction. Suprise! I'm in Stanley park! :D

In town, cherry blossoms bloom

At one point I ended up at the beach:D

At the beach, tiny little flowers start to grow

Then from the beach to a scary back alley in the city... there's countless alleys like this around town... I just picked one... And saw the "behind the scenes in Vancouver" :D

I went down the alley to see how many needles I could find. And I kept an eye on the streets of downtown.

And now, on to some happy stuff. Here's Stanley park.

If you look closely, you can see the gondolas I was in when I went to grouse mountain :D

Now, this really threw me off. Totally. I was feeding the squirrels in the park ( I found a pack of crackers on the ground ) and after sprinkling some crackers on the ground, this thing came out of nowhere!

Can you see him? :D

After walking in the forest for what seemed like hours, I started panicking... I couldn't hear a single car sound, no one was around, I actually hadn't seen anyone for over an hour... and the sun was setting. I just stumbled out of the jungle and landed here, a very expensive restaurant.

Complete with a beach :D

Ok, this is it for now... my feet are killing me.

later!

work sketches

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 05:16:00 +0000

Hey :D

here's a couple of sketches I did at work... I can't seem to draw anything at home, but I feel more at ease at work... and I think I'm getting worse at drawing every day now... I just don't draw half as much as I did. Oh well. And all I seem to be drawing lately is monkeys... which isn't that bad :D

She's sad 'cause no one wants her... :(

Me on Fridays

Thanks!

Scream!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Sat, 17 Mar 2007 05:50:00 +0000

Hey, nothing really new to talk about, but this! Awesomeness!! I don't think I need to ask if anyone ever heard this scream before :D

Enjoy!

whistler!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 07:00:00 +0000

Wow! What a place. I wasn't planning on going there this weekend at all. I randomly went, and I'm glad I did! I met up with a few old friends who've been living there for 7 years as ski bums, getting themselves a ski magazine front cover shot each, Matt, Kris and Dom, and slept on their couch :) Fun times!

First day there, I couldn't see the mountain clearly, so I thought it ended where the clouds are. Surprised the hell out of me the next day!

Matt and I went biking in the snow... and saw some crooked trees:D they were pretty tall...

Kris and me ready to strike! (the camera wasn't responding, and I went back to see what the deal was, and then it worked :D )

Kris always had a way with parking :D

Whistler is really an awesome place. Even if you don't ski ( I didn't end up going... funny story) it's so nice. I can see how this is a dreamland for skiers and snow boarders.

Thanks for checking out!

The incrrrrrredible brother of mine!!! :D

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 08:02:00 +0000

This is my brother Charles. He does something I've NEVER seen. Yes, never. Ever. I'd like to know if anyone else has ever seen this, or can do this. :D

PS:I know I went overkill with the editing, but hey... it's freaking great!

Life drawing again

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 05:30:00 +0000

Here's a few pics from the sunday life drawing. The model was crazy skinny!!! couldn't believe it.
So I just had to stick to super skinny drawings for gestures :D

Thanks for checking them out!

The Lyre bird

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 23:27:00 +0000

Whoa! Ok... this is real, and it's totally unreal at the same time... check it out to the end, ok? It's worth it.

More Life Drawing

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 07:04:00 +0000

Here's a few more life drawing's from Sunday... I really wasn't having a good drawing day... and getting there I spilled my coffee all over my seat and some of it went onto my paper... which gave the pad a real textured feel... threw me off completely. :D

The model was crazy. I never had such difficult poses... he tethered himself with a rope tied to a pole, and was leaning into and out of poses from time to time... great stuff :)

And his regular poses were pretty spectacular too

That's all I got this time! Thanks for checking it all out!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 04:53:00 +0000

Here's more pics of downtown. i didn't realize how much the buildings look fake :D

And this is Grandville Island. I though there would've been nice coffee shops there to sit at and draw, but all there is is shops!

Free Stuff!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 08:24:00 +0000

So I got a call from my landlord, he asked me if I wanted free stuff. I said sure! I just have a few plates and bowls and all that. He said he had speakers and a microwave too, but I really didn't expect the speakers to be giant... oh well. :D And the coffee table is pretty neat too! He bought a place a few doors down from mine, left the door unlocked so I could get in, and told me to "loot the place"... in those exact words :D and yeah... I now have stuff. :D

I just hope nothing is gonna happen to me now... like police... or mob guys... but in the mean time, I'm enjoying me new free stuff! Can't wait to throw plates at that guitar playing guy at the bus stop :D

Life drawing

noreply@blogger.com (Jacques) — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 04:22:00 +0000

Here's a few drawings I did at life drawing here in town... I don't get to draw too much any more, and it's nice to get to do some every once in a while.. all the poses are 5 minutes or less...The schedule is nice, it's 15 minutes of 30 second poses, then 1 minutes, then 2 minutes, then 5. It's comfortable.

One from my first day there... the model was pretty great!

My second week there. The model did the strangest poses I have ever seen... but still good... and sweaty... like, drench sweat all over the stage, sweaty... :S

Last week's model. These poses are pretty much ALL she did. For 3 hours. It was pretty boring... but I guess it forced me to draw things that are boring. Like the model.

And this week's model was great. She had really difficult poses to draw... and it wasn't a good drawing day to begin with... but fun none the less...

Ok! well, there's a little something different for you guys who read this thing! Later!!
