Had A Studio Purge Today. Im Throwing Out Five Big Bags Of Old Art Thats Unsellable, Embarrassing, Low

Had a studio purge today. I’m throwing out five big bags of old art that’s unsellable, embarrassing, low quality, or I simply never want to see again for other, more personal, reasons. I have held on to a lot of things for a long time; some of that stuff is over a decade old. Doing this feels healthy. Part of the reason I’d kept a lot of it was that I wanted to see if my opinion had changed. It hadn’t. If anything, I disliked it more now than when I did it initially. I’ve got room in both my head and my space for new work.

Here are some sculptures from antiquity that fill me with delight.

1-3: The Guennol Lioness (aka Beefy Furry of Old)

4: Alabaster statue of who is presumed to be Ishtar, goddess of fertility, love, war, sex, power, and destruction, as well as the planet Venus. 

5-6: Sumerian couple. Anime is forever. 

7-8: Reaction images.

9: A Hylian shopkeeper.

10: The Emperor Constantine, lesser known Disney prince. 

The great thing, humanity has been able to create pretty accurate, representational art for a long time. It’s possible these were stylistic choices. 

2011 versus 2017.

The ongoing adventures of “Let me show you an example of a thing, oh wait, I never uploaded that art.” Trying to tell a friend about a particular colored pencil technique and I got nothing. Someday I’ll be consistent at posting my art online. (This joke is very funny, laugh please.) Sketch of my dog, done earlier this year.

Here’s the finished prototype for my figurine of my Weirdo character, in ever glamorous primer gray. I had a photography day.

Hey internet, did you know I have a dog? It’s not like I ever draw him or anything.
