Finals fast approaching

This past month has been a whirlwind. It feels like the semester was crawling by, but now time is flying. Between final projects and weekend trips, the students have been very busy. I myself am off to Paris for the weekend. I am of course super excited, but four days out of the studio seems a bit crazy. 

I've been putting in extra hours trying to get ahead before taking off for the weekend. Below is progress on my final painting:

In Flux

For my first big drawing project, I decided to animate from life. The idea was better in theory than in execution, because, ya know, that's a lot of drawings for one project. I'm pretty happy with how the film turned out, so the long hours in the studio were definitely worth it (as they always are)! 

In Flux is an experimental piece exploring the influx of media as immersive and contaminating. The presence of misinformation pollutes the individual, spreads to the masses, and results a loss of self.
