Post Porfolio Musings

For my internship class, wehad tp go to a portfolio review and be reviewed by a bunch of professional artists ( we had to pick at least 2).
Out of about 15 professionals I saw 4. Each one disregarded my fine art section of my portfolio, but raved about the fashion illustration section and liked my character design. I was a bit surprised; the one style that comes so naturally to me is the one that everyone really liked.
I'm a bit bummed that they did not admire my other stuff quite as much. As an illustrator, you do expect yourself to do a bit of everything good. Still, I now have a skill concentration I can create a career path out of.

Opening Blog Day!

Hello world wide web!

My name is Lauren Crump, budding artist (specifically an illustrater) and eger to start herself out in the wide open world.
I like cats (I have 3), the color blue, pandas, soft fuzzy things, orange roses, graphic novels of all kinds, Georgia O'Keefe, books (mysteries, fantsy, sci_fi, some fiction), and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
But enough about me. Lets get this show on the road.

I am finally glad I have all my technology updated, artwork ready to show, and the time to post.

I actually had a blog earlier in the year, but thanks to the unpredictable world that is technology, I wasn't able to keep it updated like I should.

 The Picture that is shown here is one of my favorites. I'm actually wearing those boots right now! they are the most comfortable boot's I have ever worn.
This is done in colored pencil from a photo I took when I was visiting my parents a couple of years ago.

 I makes look forward to spring time, lying in the new grass in the crisp cool air.
