The Dollhouse- 1


In 2007 I bought a dollhouse-making kit, worked a little on it, but then couldn't continue for a couple years because of lack of workspace. Now that I have an easel in the end of the dining room, I've been able to get back to it a little. Putting the walls together and seeing it acquire a structure was a neat moment- it's finally got its basic shape! I'll hopefully chronicle this project as it goes on.

For a Theology of Creation class I'm assigned to keep a sort of field journal of time spent in a natural area. Some plants that were there.

La Vie en Rose Madder


Oil sketch from a photo of Edith Piaf.

Various Vicars


Inspired by the Professor Layton video games, I've been trying out more cartoony styles for drawing people. In this doodle I tried using all sorts of basic shapes for heads of characters of the same sort: Anglican vicars with mutton-chop whiskers. It was a fun exercise.

My first self-portrait


I just got prismatic bifocals 'cuz my eyes are just that awesomely messed up! 'FireFiriel' is my name on Deviantart, where this will function as my ID. Ink and Copic marker, with a digital and scanned-thirties-wallpaper background.
