I don't normally "do" pet portraits, but I was procrastinating on another project, so the inspiration struck to do a portrait of these pups who I love and have the pleasure to watch occasionally.

Recent works: color theory assignment: optical mixing
*Sorry for the untimeliness of this post. The house I'm sitting is having some ridiculous internet connectivity issues, and I'm not sure how to correct it.
For the optical mixing assignment in my color theory class, I decided to do something I hadn't done in a very long time, if ever: a self-portrait based on life. Taken from a picture for a transit pass in Prague from the summer of 2010, I stayed true to the structure of my face rather than just giving myself one huge eye and gumdrop teeth. I made myself green, because, well...I couldn't make it completely serious.
The point of this assignment was to use two or more colors in a way that from a distance they appear to be a certain color, but when you get near, you can see the distinct colors laying next to each other. Think pointillism from your art history class.
