MY Comic Book Class @ OWL57

My classroom was held in the fine arts gallery on Thursday evenings.  I made this sign for the door to limit interruptions during this time.
  
     This semester I was given the opportunity to build a class for a group of little boys on the complexities of sequential art, as arranged by the Five Towns Jewish Community Center with Owl57. I was inventing this class from scratch, and was only given a few days notice prior to the first class to have the syllabus written. This was only the first of many trials and adversities on the way to the finish line.
     The goal of our experimental 12 week course was to have a final product of one page completed. This is much different from our other children's fine arts courses, in which we complete 1 project every 2 weeks; each project focusing on one of many different medias, such as acrylic, watercolor, pastels, and clay building...

another post for all you cat-lovers...

Some cute kitties by our little artists @Owl57 !




This is the photo taken by our (now former) head teacher Cindy, that is the inspiration behind the lesson:


Heres a humongous acrylic painting that is hanging in the main classroom, and for sale by the fine arts section of the business. I love it.

And don't forget about "BAD KITTY"!

Plus, here is a card I had to make for my boss on Mothers Day last month :P

model magic fox

Owl57 After School clay class at HAFTR came to a close last week and as a treat we played with model magic. I made a little guy with what they left over.

Another small drawing, in "tattoo style" or whatever, that I'm considering painting. Too much unfinished work here....

I'm about to finish another book so I went back and scanned a few things before I put it on the shelf for a while.

It's my favorite time of year. Because it's the only time people will say that I am "Spring Cleaning" rather than "Fucking Crazy."

I was forced to spend a few nights in a sleezy motor inn last week.
Needless to say, this was a time of serious self-reflection.







It didn't end well.


ceramics, etc

This is a bead carved from clay, glazed and fired. It's supposed to look like a particular kitty I know,

...it was made as a gift, here is the box ^_^
