Petting Medical Science

Lately I have been thinking way back of interesting things in my mind on subjects I really used to know when I earned my degree in science and art. These are my latest abstract black and white images and plan to show you three color possibilities when I am done with watercolor. Enjoy and share at your will. I also really love comments if you have free time. Tah Tah for now! Heather Dawn.

A Day in the Life of an Artist

Posted on April 13, 2018 Posted in art, Photos, Resume, UncategorizedTagged abstract, art, fun, illustration, past work, sketches

One must wonder what an artist does in one day. This girl is a drawing addict and it can last for hours if I am in the “mood”. I usually do abstract when I first wake up and sketches at the end of my day. Relaxes me for bed time believe it or not. I’m working on my graphic novel so I am putting in a lot of time trying to get the character worked out. Time for my lunch and nap…hard at work again after that. In addition to all this art, I am currently reading three art books at the same time and plan to start going to Creative 360 more often. Love my life!

Legacy Trust Award Collection Entry

With four years selection for the state-wide competition, here is the image that I did last night named “Another Kiss to the Frog” for the Grand Rapids Museum of Arts. This size is larger than I am used to at 18 x 24 yet I had more fun with detail work. I kept it in the lightest pencil as my tool, 4H. Hope you like it!

Now here comes the fun part of my drawing career…not to draw figure drawings or blind contour drawings. Everyday on this blog, I plan to post only here starting 1-27-2018 and the title or word of the day is going to be on top. Wish me luck on my sketches and feel free to comment on your favorite ones.

Are my Roots Showing? Like Totally.

Yikes! Took a break too long to show you my newest art projects and I promise to make up for lost time. The newest piece in my family is this eyeball and mouth grow out. Yeah my ideas are ummm..original and would feel awesome to hear “you know Heather, I have witnessed this piece and I will never see another one like it.” Being unique is the best-est present to the artist and this only took me two days…I’m pretty snappy when it comes to deadlines and the such. My first time to present it was at the Creative 360 fundraiser a few weeks ago. The next few are my newer abstract and the last is for my sister in California…she owns a reptile store!! How rad is that?

Thank you for checking me out. More pictures on the way I promise.

Ohhhh, by the way, I am putting together a party called Valentine Prom and would love you to see how cool the logos turned out. Take care and air kisses.

Gone Animal Lately! Humane Society Fundraiser

Sniff sniff sniff. That is my art brain when it is having a cold or crying from no inspiration. Then bam yesterday, I was about to take a nap and three things zipped through my attic (I have a higher room in my brain where I keep my daydreams, nightmares and desires). So freakin’ stuck on my fine line of abstract or realism…people/audience respond to the uncomplicated imaginations that look familiar in realism, but the BEST is when someone stops, looks at me, stops and looks down and says “you did this”?? “Yes indeed sir/miss” All by myself. Now I am crossing another line by adding realism into my abstract images to give more clues about what I am trying to express.

The animal kingdom is soooo broad that it was difficult to think keep it simple and rely on detailed illustrations. Kept it to my illustrations and crossing my fingers hoping they liking one of the three ideas. My piece is going to be in the live auction so I am a little rattled because I strive for the best most of the time.

In the first one is animals going to a grand affair with human masks to hide their identity.

Think ballroom affair with assorted heads of animals.

Second, a female with a motions in her hair…this was just a first sketch so more input would make it easier

Third, a nerd pack of animals as a multi-media paste job with book pages in the back and each animal will just be black/white except for their neon reading glasses.

Here are a few rough drafts and I hope any input would be yummy. I think I am leaning on the pretty ballroom animals illustrations.

I Need More Cowbell, errr, Heather

Yes!! It is a new year…I hope you had an amazing experience in the last year. The time has come for me to re-establish my blog goddess background and really meet some new and awesome friends. On here, you will find silly vs. serious, duh vs. shah and good vs. evil. In short, I am here to let my creative freedom flag blow to the internet breeze.

I value education, emotional/physical self help and snorting laughter.

Why am I here on Word Press?

I think the reason you should read my blog because you might need a smile with either my lame jokes or my illustrations may be pleasing to the eye. I plan to include an image with a post so it allows for an art journal process to occur.

I would like to get way more feedback and constructive comments. I prefer to blog to get my mouth into words and I journal in my own time by writing backwards so my secrets will never be revealed… my boyfriend Leonardo di Vinci taught me how to do it. The topics I write about are really varied and I aim for the reason I am here is the following:

Express thoughts and opinions

Promote open happy hmmm, and warm fuzzies

Help people when they need me

Establish myself into the artistic world

Provide information

Stay active and knowledgeable in my scientific and artistic background

That is about all I want to start the new year off with. Mad love for you internet pals and hope to read your blogs this year.

Here is my most recent work on my first canvas experience… her name is Glorious Gypsy.
