yaaaaawwwwnnn

on AM, my friend Wanda is heading up a new monthly challenge series where we have to either copy, imitate, or tweak a master artist's work. this month is Andy Warhol and i decided to do one of his famous people prints. i was going to copy is "john wayne" but instead i ended up tweaking it because it looks nothing like john wayne.

mine:


warhol's:


uncanny, right?

also, i finally finished my page for the Steampunk Round Robin journal swap i'm in! nick and i were in new orleans on friday for a friend's birthday and needed to kill some time. we went into their barnes and noble and found lots of old books on sale. it seems like a lot of their libraries donate books to them, but whatever happens i was able to score a wonderful book about the 1910s and 1920s and it had loads of photos. i love cheap books with lots of black and whites! so this page is for LandOfNOd's journal:



another monthly challenge on AM is the birds challenge. this month it's an ATC sized piece featuring a peacock. i did a watercolor background and drew the peacock and tree in pencil and pen. it's pretty simple, but i might add some more oompf to it when i get home today.
