First Completed Sketchbook

I've made a new year resolution to do a drawing in a notebook every day for a year. So far, I've only missed a couple days but have always made up for them. Well a few days ago, I completed the first notebook. Filled every page with a drawing, painting, sketch, and even some notes and thoughts. This has been the first notebook I have ever completed! I always get down to a few pages at the end and never finish it. Not this year! 
Here is my completed notebook!! 
Here are just a few of my favorite drawings. I am so excited that I've started a new notebook. The first notebook, I learned, was great for pen and ink, not so much for pencil and watercolor. This new book has the potential to be better for all different medias. I'm hoping it will work well with watercolor for I am trying my best to get better at it. 

All in all, this is a great learning experience for me. Learning about what media works well on what paper, what media I like using best, learning all of the different techniques, most my accident, of a certain media and much much more! Follow me on the journey of exploration as I learn more and more about my own artwork.

I am involved with an international art exchange sponsored by Women & Creativity (www.womenandcreativity.org). This is the second year that I have participated and it is amazingly fun! Basically what happens is you are sent 10 small cards on which you do what ever you want: art, poetry, etc... Then you send them back and once all of the participants have returned their cards, they are mixed up and 10 cards from other artists are sent to you. So, in exchange for your 10 cards, you receive a card from 10 different people. This year, I decided to do ink designs on my cards. With a retro-feel, these cards were inspired by a pen and ink artist that I follow in Tumbler. Also, Women & Creativity did something a little different this year. They had a deadline to return your cards and if you made it before this deadline, they would choose a card or two to display in two different pop-up art shows in Albuquerque, NM. I missed going to the first one but I was able to see the secon...

It's a new year so I think it's time for a new beginning.  As part of my new years resolution, I've decided to start a blog about my life.  I'll post about school, crafts, and whatever else pops up into my life this year.  I don't have much to say now, but as I get a hang of blogging and get used to blogger, I'm sure you'll hear more from me. Happy New Year and I hope 2012 is an inspirational year for everyone! -Fritz

Finished with Project 1 So in my studio architecture class we just completed our first project. We had to design a small house for 2 people. It was pretty fun. I was kind of like a start up project so the teacher could see where we all stand and so we could see how he works. These are my final boards and my final model. I did everything by hand. We had the choice of doing our boards digitally but my style is all by hand.  This past Monday we got our new project that we will be working on for the rest of the semester. We have to design a small theater on a certain location on our campus. It's a pretty interesting project. I just see myself getting really overwhelmed with it though. There are a lot of specifications that we are required to have for the building and we have to go along with the city code. Given I had more time, I wouldn't be too worried about this project but since we only have till the end of the semester, its going to be rough!  I hope e...
