ATTENTION ALL!

Well I haven't really done so well at keeping up with my blog... obviously. I have been super busy working on a ton of portfolio projects, so half of the stuff I put up here will probably be up again in it's newest and final form. I have to create 10 projects for my portfolio, photograph them, and put them into a portfolio book. Come April I will have my first art show, which will display all of my graphic design and hopefully I can sneak in a couple of non-graphic design pieces.

One of my projects will most likely be a website of my stuff... I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one.


But until I get the time to put stuff up on here, feel free to check out
samuelnelsonphotography.blogspot.com
where there are fabulous pictures, including a couple of me.


Until soon... hopefully.

TREASURES FROM EUROPE

I studied abroad in Europe for a semester and took a life drawing class and painting portraiture class with this eccentric woman named Kathy. She was great, super inspiring.

I loved drawing this lady, despite the awkward perspective. (First picture)

SUMMER PROJECTS 3

One day my dear friend Katrina came up to Orange County and seeing that we had a blank canvas, a pellet gun, and tons of left over house paint we decided to put our creativity to good use and make this.

It's amazing what comes from scattered bags of paint, pellets, and gravity.

The final piece doesn't have the blue tape on it. Eventually, I'll get a picture of the finished piece up here.

SUMMER PROJECTS 2

Here's just some stuff that I played around with.

The sketches are from my sketchbook I had in Europe.

SUMMER PROJECTS 1

Considering that I couldn't find a job this summer, I spent some of my time creating things.

Here's some of the things I created....

I found an old shoe box full of my dad's old treasures. I put it all together in an open frame for him for Fathers Day. If you have good materials it just can't go bad. (First picture)

At the house I lived in in San Diego last year, there was this furniture piece that no one wanted so I took it, stripped it, and re-did it. Sam and I found an old copy of the Wizard of Oz with these really sweet illustrations in it, so we ripped it up and mod podged it onto the shelves and then painted the body of it. I love it!
