So, my summer is drawing to a close. I'm almost completely moved out of my Easton house and into my new, Brookline apartment. Of course, that "almost" basically implies that it will take me one, fell swoop to move out. So, the first trip to take my stuff there should, ideally, be the only trip. I don't have much, and I've used a few late spring-summer cleanings to make sure of that.
I'm extremely excited to be moving so close to the city, but I'm still a little bit nervous. I'm skating by in the biggest way, in terms of money, and I'm not even spending any, yet. I'm basically thinking of all the things I have to pay for over the next year, incrementally, and it's pretty daunting. Luckily, I'm still painting and still have a drive to make a living doing that. I've heard that's something of a rarity. Who knows? I'm looking forward to getting close to Boston and looking for opportunities with my work.

In any case, this is probably the last painting update I'll give from here. So, consider these, for the most part, the last paintings of summer 2007!

Thanks for looking.

Works in progress and some minor finishes!!

Alright folks, here are some pieces I've been working on over the past couple of weeks. Some are still in progress, which I'm sure to see through. Overall, considering it's coming to a close, I'm glad to say that I've been working consistently throughout the summer. I've had sobering moments with jobs and money, but I've kept true to plodding along with my work.

In any case, I'm really try to play around with what I can do with my work and how far I can push the bounds of staying happy with what I'm trying to do with it.

Per usual, thanks for looking and sorry for the bad scans.


Take care,

Lastly, and standing alone due to being an outrageously bad scan (trust me...a photo on my powershot would've been worse), here's an updated picture of this painting. Careful folks - someone's already looking at this one to buy.

ARTFORSALEARTFORSALE gogo! Fund my sweet, sweet move-out this way, so I don't have to break my back as a laborer. hehe


Take care,

"Dys" ($250)

more work!

Sorry for some of these being cruddy scans, but I really wanted to get these up here - primarily, to share these with people, but also to offer them up for sale! That's right! All of these are for sale. I'm moving Brookline in the fall and could really use the money. Plus, I like the thought of my work going out into the world. It's almost as good as the initial act of painting. Anyways, here they are, ready for your viewing and priced accordingly. haha


Take care (almost wrote "Love," there...strange...maybe not, though,

Love,

Andrew

p.s. These prices are completely flexible. Help fund my move-out!

Here are a few new pieces I brought up, today. I've been eating hamburgers and hot dogs, ever since I bought too many for my graduation party. Thankfully, they're almost gone. Don't get me wrong - I love cookout food, but there's just something about preparing and eating that sort of thing that's a bit maddening. Anyways, I like how those two came out and am satisfied with the other two as well.

Per usual, I'm not sure where I'm taking this stuff. I just like the meditative act of listening to music loudly and painting more than one piece at a time.

Thanks for looking.


Take care,

Andrew

New stuff, as of July 2007...

Here's some of the newer stuff I've been chewing on, lately. I've been trying to really shake things up with my work - incorporating things that I've done before with the newer methods I came to enjoy in senior year. I hope these aren't horrible abominations. I feel good about them.


Take care and thanks for looking,

Andrew

p.s. The two with the uncharacteristically fully-handled figures aren't recent, but I've been meaning to scan them. I did them while working at Buck's Rock, last year. They're a good frame of reference for the rest of the work, I guess.

So, my graduation party was incredible. It was an awesome assortment of people I care about, another chance for me to spread the wings of my project (so to speak), and, most importantly, a beautiful day. Plus, it was an opportunity for me to show the people I care about what I've been doing with my time away and money spent. Anyways, here's a picture of my work hanging, nailed to the back of my house (don't worry...those shingles are coming down, soon.......hmmm...more surfaces to work on? Maybe...)...


...and here's my dog, Dozer. He likes sleeping, almost more than I do. Hey, I was uploading pictures and he just happened to fall asleep next to me. Can you blame me?

Thanks for looking. It means a lot.


Take care,

Andrew
