This summer has came and gone so fast its not even funny. Out of all the things I could of done this summer I only did a few art projects.
The first project I been playing with since I found out about the munny dolls (see previous posting). Wanting to do a Pride and Prejudice (Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett) theme I been working on sketches and research on what I want my dolls to look like. After kind of figuring out was I was going for I started on the Mr. Darcy doll (this was during the spring).
This June was the 5th annav. of the munny dolls and they were holding a contest on different categories. I decided to turn my munny dolls in, but the rules were that you had to do them in the month of June. Not liking how the Mr. Darcy doll tuned out; I redid his and worked on the Elizabeth Bennet doll. They turned out well, but didn't win the contest. I am still not satisfied with them so maybe I will work on them some more...
My niece was down this summer and with she learning that I am going to school to be an (better) artist, she been trying to get me to paint (watercolor) with her. With trying to teach her how to paint (using more water than paint) didn't work out so well. In the end she had fun and got a only studies done. Now she said she wants to be an artist when she grows up.... I don't know how my brother would feel about this.
With trying to work on work books (I got last year) to help me build a better knowledge of the programs I work with. Well Adobe came out with an up grade of CS5 and now I need to get an up date with them. One good thing came out of it. I been trying to do some more illustrations and I got some ideas and one illustration done.

With nothing else I have really done this summer other than cards (see previous posting) this is the conclusion of my summer art work. Now on to school work!
