"Where's Jackson"

This what has been keeping me busy all summer.

1. This is Jackson. He wandered away from home and now he's lost.

2. Jackson's mom is so worried about him. She calls the police. "Can you find Jackson?"

3. Chief Gene and the other officers run to their cars and turn on their flashing lights. "We'll find him."


4. "Where's Jackson? He's not at the park."


5. "Where's Jackson? He's not at school."

6. "Where's Jackson? He's not at the zoo."


7. "Where's Jackson? He's not at the pool."


8. It's getting dark. "Where's Jackson? He's not at the store."


9. Where's Jackson? He's not at the soccer field."


10. There's Jackson! He's in Grandma's backyard. We found him!"


11. Chief Gene and the officers drive Jackson home. But they have a special present for him."


12. "This is a wristband just for you. If you ever get lost again we'll find you quickly," Chief says. "Make sure you keep it on."


13. Now Jackson wears his wristband all the time.

It Begins.

Yeah. I haven't had a blog since xangas were popular. But lets not get into that.

I've been wanting to get an art blog for a while and since there are nifty sites like this, I figured, may as well. So, here I am.

And since most of my friends enjoy seeing my art, I figured that a blog would allow me to show the different processes of the my painting methods. Hopefully I can get started with painting tomorrow as I'm out of supplies and I don't want to show up to class completely...hopeless.

I will let you start with:


eeevawn's artist statement:

My art is the spoken word in visual form. I paint to the beat of my paintbrush on the canvas-coated drum. I like for the viewer to listen to the words unspoken, to anticipate the conversation radiating from the canvas.

I enjoy painting portraits in an illustrative fashion with the hope that the aura of the piece will flow off of the canvas like a silk scarf to accessorize and permeate the mind of the viewer be it that they are young or old.

I choose subjects who give off a particular feeling that the viewer would possibly empathize with. In doing that, I like to share a story with my art; a story in that the reader will walk away with the intent to share, thus creating the spoken word only to begin the cycle once more.
