Don't draw on your sister


I am attempting to paint again. I have been interested in learning after seeing what James Jean can do with acrylic. I am still new at it, but I think I am starting to get a bit more used to it. I still don't know how to make those really smooth transitions like I see Jeff Soto do or James Jean. Their paintings look like they were done in oils even though they were done in acrylics. Maybe they mix retarder or some sort of medium with their paint.

Map...sort of


I went to the Science Museum of Minnesota for a project and I had to highlight certain information I felt important and put it on a limited space. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be trying to get everything I wanted on there. A bunch of stuff still didn't make it, but I hope there is enough cool stuff there for people to see and say, "hey, that looks cool, I want to see that!"
