School is Here

Well school starts on Tuesday for me (my senior year). Each year I create a custom planner - here is this year's - 






I have also been painting props for my school marching band (10 foot banners). I'll try to post pictures of them when I am finished.

Poco is Finished!

She'll be shipped out to her new owner Taylor Hagquist on Friday. Here are her final pictures -




She is done in pigments and detailed with acrylics and has a resculpted mane and tail. I included a base with sand and a small amount of water detail because Poco sometimes has a hard time standing. 
On another topic, is there any tutorials ya'll would like to see? Comment your ideas below!

Just an FYI

I'm currently doing some construction on this blog so I can get rid of my website (which I hardly update). So please be patient if this page goes down or the formatting is a little screwy.

There and Back Again - Part Four

On our last full day of Chincoteague we went to the beach, saw more ponies, and enjoyed the carnival.

A bird running from the waves...


The surf...


Our feet...

An egret

Misty....and...


Stormy!


A pony in a pen behind McDonalds...


 The carnival...


A booth that sold anything you'd need for your new pony...


 Waiting to see who won Queen Neptune...


And the wonderful food!
