“Tres Marias…”

…is what my grandmother calls my 2 sisters and I. The 3 of us are very close, and they mean the world to me. 🙂

This past weekend was my youngest sister’s high school graduation, and I wanted to make some gift art of the 3 of us (+ our family chihuahua). I originally wanted to make it a print for her dorm wall, but I got semi-frustrated with it (argh, foreshortening!) and decided to make it a card instead.

Happy Graduation, Lauren! I’m so proud of you, and I know you’ll do great things in college!

A screever’s an artist of ‘ighest degree

Recently, a group of my friends and I went down to Savannah, GA to meet up for a mini-reunion and to participate in our alma mater’s Sidewalk Arts Festival. It was really nostalgic visiting our old haunts from our college days. Funny how only 2 years after graduating everything already feels tucked away in the distant past.

For those unfamiliar with the SWA, participants are assigned a square of concrete throughout Forsyth Park, one of the largest parks in Savannah, and are given a box of 12 brightly colored chalk. In a certain amount of time (usually 3-4 hrs), participants can draw whatever they want. Accompanying this competition are lots of other events such as live performances, games, etc. It’s open to the public, and a perfect excuse to play outside.

I’ve participated since I was a freshman at SCAD, so I decided to post pictures of this year’s square, along with some I managed to salvage from the past.
