I was pretty busy with freelance work and trying to do academic portfolio stuff for my submissions.  It's challenging and alot of work but i hope to come out with a legit enough product to continue my studies, which is top priority.  Gas prices are high as hell so i've taken to taking the bus and riding my bike again... which can be challenging when your carrying oversized material and paint supplies.

Next week i'll post some of my attempts at an academic study.  Trying to find guidance with teachers i've had in the past, it's not the ideal situation but it helps.

Today i got the privilege to attend class with Vadim Zanginian and learn some drawing and russian.  It clarified some ideas for how to approach a landscape which is awesome.  He teaches at LAAFA feel free to look him up; http://laafa.org/    Here are my studies;
They need some cleanup but my schedule is running like crazy... so i'm doing that later... and posting this now.   and just for kicks here are some two minute figure studies from earlier this week.
