According to RISD's online credentials for the application, (among 3 drawings) I must complete a drawing that "represents a bike". This is my representation, entitled James Starley vs Birdsill Holly.

I have another art exhibition lined up for Raleigh's First Friday. The show - called Pairs - is at City Gate Real Estate located at 404 Glenwood Avenue Raleigh, NC 27603.
It starts at 6pm on February 5th - its a Friday.
Artists are: Trent Anthony, Matt Yow and Courtney Navey, and maybe a few more guests TBA
.
Here is a watercolor piece that I did for the show, a little sample for you.
its a Pear.


RISD: the application, the dollar



I am in the process of applying to Rhode Island's School of Design (RISD).
They have an extensive list of credentials and requirements to meet. One is to do three drawings. The first is to use both sides of the paper (the paper must be 16x20"). For this drawing I chose to do a one dollar bill.
Here it is, both sides...

this photo was taken the same few days the Holga photos were taken.
enjoy.

this is my (right) hand if anyone wanted to know what it looked like. i think this could be cool as an element of a poster or even some sort of branding/logo element, but as for now its just as it is.
