A Golden Hour

Today I decided to get out of the house and breathe some fresh air, so, naturally I ended up at a coffee shop. While breathing in sweet coffee bean fumes I browsed through the art magazines and found this little gem. It's called Blue Canvas and it's only been around for two years. This was its 7th edition and the pages were full of beautiful images and knowledgeable interviews with artists of many mediums. The Coffee, the magazine, the relaxed atmosphere, yes that was a golden hour.

While I was there I sketched out another mini portrait, this time of a robot. Robots again, I think I'm seeing a pattern. I'm not very happy with it, and I think I'll re-work it heavily. As heavily as you can re-work a 2"x2" canvas, that is.

While walking to work today I spotted this interesting stretch of crumbling and worn away cement. I thought that the erosion was so beautiful that I snapped a photo for future reference.
As an artist its important to gather your own reference photos for ownership purposes.

Beauty in the most unlikely of places!

Last Art-a-Day Post for 2011!

Wow, I can't believe how fast January and Art-a-Day Went!

Seems like it was only yesterday when I was panicking at 10:00 pm about what I was going to post for the day. Oh wait, that was everyday! haha, but no, this was a great experience and I'm so glad that I got to meet so many talented artists from the Tri-Cities and beyond. I will continue to post and make art everyday on my personal blog Here, and I can't wait to join you all next year!

Ok, enough of the good byes!

For my last post *Sniff-Sob-Sniff* I made this ink print at my art class. We carved out a relief on a foam pad, rolled ink on with a brayer and then printed (stamped) the foam carving onto a white board.

I made a robot, his name is Louis, and he's a bit nervous.

Did you notice it? I spelled my last name wrong because I was focused on signing it in an "edgy" way to match the rough print style. Its Sarah Bosserman not Bossermam

Oh Well, I doubt this picture will go any farther than my fridge!

Stay Artsy,

Tonight my family and I watched a 60 minutes on the history of Bill Gates and Paul Allen and it was actually very entertaining. Those guys did incredible stuff besides making the computer(with a lot of help) what it is today.

With all this tech history and achievement I got to thinking about how in the 50's our future was thought of as robots and flying space ships. They couldn't even comprehend that our greatest achievement would be a device that takes up a few square feet and offers unlimited information stored in non-existent space!

So cool!

So, after all that thinking I made Arnold, the average House-Bot-of-the-Future.

He cooks, cleans and lets you win at chess.

My favorite detail is his Heart-O-Meter, because even robots need a pat on the back now and again... otherwise they take over the the world. It's a small price to pay.

I used sharpie and Prisma color pencils.
