School is back in session, and as it is every summer, I have a lot of classes to teach. Thus, for you guys awaiting the show in September, check back in with MegWolfe.net's Flickr feed every now and then to see the work in progress.. as well as my coffee break doodles, and some studio shots.
Out with the old, and in with the new. The former "Sketch for.." section of MegWolfe.net has been updated with a Flickr widget! Now, when I upload sketches and in progress, you'll see them instantly appear on www.megwolfe.net! Exciting! (well, exciting for me anyway.. it's less work)
The sketches are also automated to pop up on Twitter and Facebook, so if you're following me via either channel, you'll get them there too. However, I plan to keep the updates reasonably moderate (one or two images a week), so as not to bombard anyone. I probably tweet more than enough as it stands.
Also, I managed to secure my Facebook username! You can now click over to http://www.facebook.com/meganwolfe to easily connect with my profile and friend me.
This week I wrapped up another piece for the show in September. However, rather than show it in its entirety, I thought I would tease you guys with a snippet! (Note that this is just a small part of a larger piece - the actual work is 22 x 28 inches)
It's been a pleasure covering the art receptions of this independent bookstore, and "The End is Near" is a show not to be missed. With this last report, we say our fond farewells to Nob Hill's very own Babylon Falling.
Emerging galleries have been popping up in the Nob Hill / Downtown area of San Francisco, and I set out to review a few of them! Read all about my gallery adventures (and my crush on River Phoenix) at Fecal Face.com!
The days are rolling by, and I've been hard at work on new drawings for my September solo show at Cafe Royale. So far, so good. The pieces in this series will be 22 x 28 inches, graphite pencil on paper. After working on the "ginormous" 44 x 60 inch drawing from a previous video blog, I'm taking a break from the wax pencil.. I think I've punished myself enough, though why I was punishing myself, I'm still unsure.
In terms of concept.. I'm sticking with the same ideas, but pushing them further. For this show, I'm focusing more on hoards of pigeons, and chaotic scenes. I was always interested in that aspect, but now I want to be less subtle, and more dynamic. Honestly, I can't wait to get more of this series finished so I can see them together in sequence. It's exciting!
Lastly, I updated www.megwolfe.net with a new Sketch. Sooner or later I'll get caught up with the back-log of sketches and dump them all into a post.. but for now, the one for April / May will have to do.
Apparently, artist / curator David Ball has become a walking-talking canvas. Sometime over the past few months, David lost a small tuft of hair, and ever since then he's been inviting artists to draw on the spot with a sharpie.
The designs have included everything from lightbulbs, to flowers, to the Babylon Falling logo, and also.. *dun dun dun* a Megan Wolfe pigeon! Roosting happily in a nest of hair. My finest work yet.
Other artists previously shown on David's scalp are Christopher Burch, David Young V, and students from AAU's illustration department.
(I also want to throw a shout-out to Shaun Roberts for photographing this special moment - my one-day-only solo show on a dude's scalp)
The boss-man Trippe and I teamed up to photograph this month's edition of Sketch Tuesdays. As usual, the bar / gallery was packed with artists drinking and drawing! (and, in some cases, collaging) Click over to FecalFace.com for our pics and report!
