Stormy Surf Session

Amy — Fri, 24 May 2013 15:53:06 +0000

This ones a soft pastel, 16″ x 20″. I combined a couple of my favorite things- Lanikai Beach, good waves, and an afternoon downpour.

On a separate note, I’m going to start selling my originals; contact me if you’re interested: amyleihammond@gmail.com. It’s hard to get rid of the original of something, but lately I’ve had a little practice in giving art away and it actually feels good to know that the art is out there is the world with someone enjoying it. What good is it for me to keep it down here in my basement all to myself anyway? Time to create it and then set it free. Framed & matted, this one is $180. Without the frame- just matted- $120. Or, let’s bargain. I can make prints too.

Hawaiian Shave Ice

Amy — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 18:21:26 +0000

Today I was craving a snow cone. Then I thought of how good a shave ice would be. There is no shave ice here, so I drew an illustration of one. Then I drew two more. It was a good time.

Hole-Punch Assignment

Amy — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 20:41:38 +0000

On the first day of my experimental darkroom class, we were asked to bring in a 4×5 negative, punch 5 holes out of it, trade hole punches with another student, and go into the darkroom and try to make something cool. This is the oddest assignment I’ve been given… here were my results..
