School Begins

August 29, 2011

First day of classes. I have a pretty good schedule. A potential new job lined up, and a few commissions with flexible deadlines. Always nice.

I’m excited about these commissions though. One is for the mother of a friend of mine at school, so I get to draw this cute picture of him as a kid with his younger sister (always good for lighthearted teasing). His mother is also a greatly encouraging and lovely person, who I have oddly never met, but we’ve talked a lot on Facebook. Ahh, modern technology. I’m always fascinated with how relationships are facilitated online.

The other commission is actually from my mother. She has sent me a bunch of scans of old family pictures to choose from, and I get to select three to draw, that will then hang in 4×6″ art show in my hometown. I’m excited to draw some of these older portraits of great grandparents. I’m also quite fascinated with family history, and to draw these makes me feel so much closer to them.

Well, lunch time!
