Mac’s Blog search

Hello my Peers today i will be giving you all a special treat, for i am going to show you this awesome concept art blog i found its called (Draw Maeve, draw) you can find this blog at http://drawmaevedraw.tumblr.com.

This blog focuses on visual development and concept art in a video game style. i find this blog is inspirational and visually pleasing for some one who draws more graphically like me. This blog follows Maeve as she produces absolutely stunning concept art, of sets or props in a isometric view “this is the made up perspective some video games use” i find her concepts to be visually fun and adorable.

Maeves dose a good job explaining posts, what she is doing, and shares content to help people draw and come up with good ideas. In one post she talks about some things that most people don’t know about photoshop; like how to make lines smother or how to adjust color.

For a artest this is extremely helpful too because if your only going of of your knowledge, or the knowledge of a class, they might not have been teaching the tools in that way, and you may not be able to figure that out on your own. i also want to point out again that mauves focuses primarily on sets and and props. Sets and props are a completely under appreciated skill that most people don’t think about because they get lost in there character design.

Maeves shows her progression as well which lets you see things go from a idea to a product instead of just being like she waves a magical won and theres a picture. as a artist and, someone who draws concept art who has been known to accidentally only care about the characters this is refreshing and inspirational I highly recommend it

tell next time mac Out.

Expert Vagabond

http://expertvagabond.com/travel-blog

“In the fall of 2010 I quit my job, left my girlfriend, sold everything I owned, and bought a plane ticket to Guatemala.”- Matthew Karsten

This blog tells the story of an Expert Vagabond traveling the world. His name is Matthew Karsten, a professional photographer, blogger, adventurer, and all around living legend. I found this guy thru the grapevine of Facebook. Just from liking outdoor equipment pages, mutual friending, traveling junkie posts, and Poof! His page popped up.

Initially I was drawn in because of his title,”Vagabond.” This was a nickname given to me from my grandmother at the ripe age of 14. Due to how I was always on vacation, physically or mentally, or out to lunch as she would put it.. But anyways, that is what attracted me to Matthew’s site initiallly. And from there I fell into his world, head over heels into the bright rabbit hole of this, “Expert Vagabond.”

“Once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.” ~ Alan Keightley

“My itinerary? Your guess is as good as mine! The plan is to plan as little as possible, and let fate take me on a roller-coaster ride of discovery & adventure.” Matthew Karsten

This blog truly slows down my world, and gives me a chance to breathe. It is the few moments in my life where I allow myself to live vicariously thru someone else’s. I absolutely admire his attitude about life, and truly living in the moment attitude. Not talking about it, but being about it. We must surround ourselves around more people like this. To be present in every moment, and live like tomorrow will never come.

Adventures at LCC

DSCN0670
On my first stop I found the Equipment Checkout. I even checked out a camera on Friday. Those folks are really nice.

Scavenger Hunt 032
Here’s the Blue Cyc Wall. It’s in building 17 and I am ready to do a shoot!

DSCN0662
This was closed when we went there. So I guess this is pretty literal.

DSCN0687
I found the main art gallery in building 11.

DSCN0655
This is a cool little retro thing that I have never seen before.

DSCN0663
Again I can be pretty literal. This is on the second floor of the center building.

Here is the sculpture outside the Health and Wellness building. I had a little fun with this.

DSCN0685
This is the hand of Mary Jo Kreindel. She is very nice but I guess she just doesn’t like having her picture taken. My husband has the exact photo in his hunt.
