The gradation in the background with China Marker didn't work too well but oh well, now I know.<br />
<br />
I'm much more excited about my next Silkscreen project, but that won't be up until the weekend probably.<br />

I'll be there, it's going to have some awesome art and awesome music.<br />
<br />
Here's a video I found on the facebook event page that shows a little clip of one of the artists..<br />

I was in the lab alone yesterday and just played the whole album loudly and it was great to work with. Very relaxing, but I got everything done. He is a beautiful musician and his pieces are simple but elegant.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will have a finished project to show tomorrow.<br />

Obviously not a professional picture, but you get the idea. There's room for improvement and the colors are much more vivid in real life, but I'm pretty happy with it.<br />
<br />
I've got a busy couple of days coming up including my birthday, which isn't going to be very eventful this year because of classes and such, but I have a very exciting weekend to look forward to.<br />
<br />
And I have my Color & Design midterm to show you tomorrow so check back!<br />

<br />
Just a couple of things to show today...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's a little preview of my Color & Design midterm.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/?action=view&current=sc02b0aaa4.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/sc02b0aaa4.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Recognize?<br />
It's one of two color studies for a self portrait done in gouache on cardstock.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And here is part of my Anatomy midterm.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/?action=view&current=sc02ae6854.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/sc02ae6854.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Just graphite on cardstock. Not horrible for my first time drawing a skull, but could have used more work. But it's perfect for Halloween!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Finally put up the banner at the top and simplified the background. Thoughts?? Next I need to add tabs, but that can wait until after midterms.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to leave a comment! And welcome to my new followers!<br />
<br />

It's midterm time (sigh) so I don't have anything finished to show you right now, but I will soon!<br />
<br />
For now I will show you this..<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/?action=view&current=2010-05-07172557.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/2010-05-07172557.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
It's a piece I did last semester for a hotel in Mexico. Acrylic on canvas.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I also went to <a href="http://www.scrap-sf.org/">SCRAP</a> on Friday and picked up some wood and old maps so you'll have to wait and see what I come up with! Also my silkscreen project and Color & Design homework will be finished on Monday so I will show that soon too! Once midterms are over I am determined to crank out as many personal projects as I can before finals.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tonight I went to a PostSecret event at the University of the Pacific in Stockton. It was amazing, everything I hoped it would be and very inspirational. If you don't know what <a href="http://www.postsecret.com/">PostSecret</a> is, definitely check it out. It's worth your time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is having a wonderful October. I know it's flying by for me! Oh where does the time go...<br />
<br />
<br />

Things were absolute mayhem from leaving Scotland to visiting family in Arizona, to moving back to San Francisco, to starting school up again. I'm a Resident Assistant this year so I had training, Orientation week for first year students, and so many other things to organize and attend! But I'm finally in gear and flowing along.<br />
<br />
I did manage to work on a commission piece while I was in Arizona. A last minute thing so I could have probably made it more to my liking but the costumer was thrilled and that's what is important in this case. So here's a picture of that..<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/?action=view&current=DSC00859.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/DSC00859.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I haven't had much time or energy to work on much of my own projects so I have a little bit of schoolwork to show for now.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/?action=view&current=DSC00862.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/DSC00862.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
This piece is one I did for my Silkscreen class. Doesn't have a title but I printed an edition of six and I'm pretty happy with it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In other news..<br />
<br />
<br />
I came across a competition that <a href="http://onecondoms.com/">One Condoms</a> is doing where you submit a design for a condom wrapper and winning designs will be printed and sold, as well as cash prizes and condoms donated to the foundation of your choice. So of course I submitted some designs for this great idea! The concept is basically anything, any design, photograph, one liner, etc. as long as you have the rights to the image. So I used some of my own drawings and hopefully it works out.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/?action=view&current=0000000846_largejpeg.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/0000000846_largejpeg.png" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/?action=view&current=0000000847_largejpeg.png" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y186/sophiala11/0000000847_largejpeg.png" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I will keep you updated on how you can vote for my designs when I find out later!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all for now! I PROMISE to update much more often now. I have a lot of things I'm working on and I have some awesome ideas for upcoming projects that I can't wait to share! My next order of business is to get all of my work up on my website immediately. If you haven't visited it yet, check it out, send a message, or whatever! <a href="http://www.sophiaalmada.com/">sophiaalmada.com</a><br />

I also want to add a portfolio tab (inspired by a good friend at http://nostalgicallyyours.blogspot.com/) so my best pieces will be in there instead of all over. Just need to spend some time on it and it'll get there. Eventually I will have www.sophiaalmada.com but as it's under construction right now, this is just fine.<br />
<br />
I felt bad for not updating in a long time, not that there are a ton of followers, so I thought I would just show you a couple more tattoo style ink drawings I did just now.<br />
<br />
<br />

Sorry about the bad quality pictures, just a little something for now! Hope you guys enjoy, keep checking in and feel free to leave some love in comments!<br />

Probably the last post in Scotland, unfortunately. I'll be in Arizona to work on some pieces so I'll post the progress of those when I'm working on them.<br />

We got some crawfish type things but they are a little different and I forgot what they call them here, they are a little bigger but not like lobsters by any means, and they have skinnier claws. We got to taste them and they were awesome and got to taste a bunch of other things too. Kind of funny because Farmer's Markets that I've been to in the states mostly have fruits and vegetables, this one had waaay more meat vendors, but it was still great. Got some awesome banana bread and carrot cake and sun dried tomato stuffed olives. We are going to feast tonight! Need to go start dinner now actually.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>Leave a comment if you're feeling generous!</div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy!</div></div>Sophia Louisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04284564927926167862noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565213271502056770.post-5093992150953641972010-07-09T09:59:00.000-07:002010-07-09T11:10:36.472-07:00Goin' down the Bayou<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Summer is good.
