LSC's ABCs 2013 Faculty Exhibit

today is the opening of the 2013 Visual Arts Department Faculty Exhibit, LSC's ABCs. Each of the faculty selected one to three letters of the alphabet and created a work of art for those letters. Here is a sneak peak at my illustration for the letter S (I also created one for Q that I will post at another date). The title is “Seven silly superheroes silently searching for sly scoundrels from skyscrapers.” 

14th Bird

Moa (ˈmōə)

Continuing with the prehistoric theme, the Moa is a large extinct flightless bird from New Zealand. To me it looks like a huge short beaked kiwi.

IF Prepare

Here we have a kiwi bird preparing for the difficult task of tying a bow tie. What makes it more difficult is that he has no wings and yet through the act of preparing through mediation or prayer we realize that he just might be able to accomplish the seemingly impossible.

I have found this to be true in my life as well. I find that when I make time in the morning to pray, to contemplate the day ahead of me, and to meditate in silence, I am able to accomplish a great deal more. I also accomplish it with more peace than when I go into the day without the proper preparation.

15-19 Bow Ties in 100 Days or Less

A Platypus (ˈplatəpəs; -ˌpoŏs), Kiwi (ˈkēwē), Short-Beaked Echidna (sh ôrt-bēked əˈkidnə), and a Book (bŏk)going for a ride in a Bath Tub (baθ təb)

Some one had asked about doing some furniture. Here it is. This is a reworking of the Bath Tub Bow Tie Guy from August, 2008. The main difference is I had claw-footed bath references to look at. As an instructor of mine, C.F. Payne, said, “Your only as good as your reference material.”

This one was a little more complicated so it took me some time. I had more planed, but that will have to wait.
