30x30

figure study

went back into it.
bad photos though.

update

After the last piece, at the end of last year, I completed a few figure study paintings. They don't really fit in with the body of work I'll be compiling this year, but i think there's some merit. I'll post the next one when i can make it a little more interesting. But there were done purely to explore the figure, get over some issues, and begin sculpting the figure better.

also, i've finally taken to revamping and updating both the jasonshawnalexander.com and studiosection8.com websites myself. They are VERY simple but since i am doing them, finally, myself they will be updated much more often.

cheers.

new

here's a newer piece. 48x48.

I'll be showing in Culver City at the Corey Helford gallery with a 4 man show in May.
Also in Berlin with the Strychnin Gallery in August.

If you check out www.jasonshawnalexander.com you will see more painting updates. This blog is mostly for the illustration work, but I'm finally updating my sites MYSELF! So expect better updates!

new drawings...

Sat in on a life drawing class. The first one is the model. After a few of these, I started in on the students. Just as much fun. Artists out there..... draw from life. Reference is good. You learn to keep your vocabulary open and the work is more realistic. But it does become just drawings of photos of people as opposed to drawing OF people. You need to draw from life. It's more intimate, it requires more intuition. It makes you pay attention more and learn more about weight and form. I don't do it enough, but this was a good kick in the arse about it.

Cheers.
