Here are my latest prints in a series of etchings featuring llamas and camels. July proved to be a busy month in all things non-art so not much was accomplished sadly. But I have learned that printmaking-shop access has been extended past my last class date, so I hope to pump out a few more prints before it officially closes.

For those who don't follow me on Twitter, part of the reason I was blog-absent in July was my attending San Diego Comic Con and visiting friends in LA. I had a jolly good time running around the exhibit hall and trying to get into various panels (such as James Cameron's Avator and LOST). I didn't purchase much art however (for the except of this Alex Pardee poster). I felt that this convention placed more emphasis on television shows and movies when compared to NY's Comic Con. Artist alley was considerably smaller (although there were interesting booths scattered about the place). I think anyone that is into comics, illustration, fine arts, and the "popular arts" should attend SDCC at least once in their life.

From now on, I will be exclusively working on portfolio pieces for grad school admission in December, as well as my neglected Alien Raver comic. Prepare for more frequent posts as I exercise my mental and hand muscles!
