It’s been so long since I went overboard on a “personal” piece, that I have almost forgotten how to do it. This is definitely one of those cases in which I had to force myself to not overwork it. I made a conservative effort to only use a #2 watercolor brush in hopes of not making anything TOO black. And as you can see, the detail is pretty ridiculous even for me.</p> <p><img height="358" src="http://www.ghostco.org/blog/Wilderness%20Detail.jpg" width="500"/></p> <p>The other thing that was a nice change about this piece was that I got to work on a larger scale than what normal client projects (not to mention time restraints) call for. This is about 19”X24” which is big enough that it almost makes me uncomfortable.</p> <p><img height="350" src="http://www.ghostco.org/blog/desk.jpg" width="500"/></p> <p>This thing almost took up half of my desk, which granted…is humungous (not to mention how ridiculously huge my light box is). </p> <p>I get asked a lot about what kind and size of scanner I use. Well stupidly enough I use a 10 year old run-of-the-mill regular ole’ A4 size Canon scanner. So then you might ask, how do I go about getting such a giant drawing scanned?</p> <p><img height="281" src="http://www.ghostco.org/blog/screen.jpg" width="500"/></p> <p>With a lot of patience (as well as Supernatural playing in the background).</p> <p>This is sort of a mile stone for me. Almost 5 years ago I took on nearly 120 private commissions to help pay off medical bills from an absolutely ridiculous experience involving a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_recluse_spider">Brown Recluse</a> and an awful lot of pain and infection and immobility and necrosis and bone deterioration and doctor’s visits that only I would be unlucky enough to stumble into. This drawing is the last in a very very long list of commissions. Let’s hope it was worth the inexcusably long wait. </p> </blockquote>http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18806500314http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18806500314Mon, 05 Mar 2012 16:30:25 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m08px0ijv41r8k1cmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ayegurl.tumblr.com/post/18592699804/submission-1949-pontiac-custom-bagged-shot-in">ayegurl</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Submission:<br/>1949 Pontiac, custom ‘bagged, shot in the port of Los Angeles, California.<a href="http://www.johnnyophoto.com/wordpress/"><br/>By: Johnny O Photography</a></strong></p> <p><br/>Quite an obnoxious watermark. <br/>Pretty nice photo though.</p> </blockquote>http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18709354691http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18709354691Sun, 04 Mar 2012 00:00:01 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0cg7z1qNV1rqgpbvo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18708975438http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18708975438Sat, 03 Mar 2012 23:52:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzzteybKna1qb8vpuo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://firsttimeuser.tumblr.com/post/18467239800">firsttimeuser</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Rudolf Eickemeyer Jr. The Summer Sea, 1903</p> </blockquote>http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18555412428http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18555412428Thu, 01 Mar 2012 12:03:53 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx1q1ryLwY1qhj9wro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18510485495http://lauramvr.tumblr.com/post/18510485495Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:32:12 -0500“As the day takes its toll<br/> on your mortal frame<br/> and eyes grow heavy<br/> muscles wane, lay<br/> your weight in my <br/> embrace, relax, let<br/> stresses dissipate.
