I thought it was time for me to give you guys a little update, so that you don’t get bored and leave me! Here is a piece I did at the end of the school year, about a month ago. I like to call them the Black Metal Guardians…. They keep babies safe from the terrors of over-christian, commercial winter holidays. They are made of cut paper, with tiny thread joints. It’s supposed to represent winter, a season where I like to spend a lot of time by myself, outside in the cold night listening to black metal.</p> <p>The scan got a bit shiny and weird but hey. I don’t really care, okay?</p>http://a-mcleod.tumblr.com/post/50972750072http://a-mcleod.tumblr.com/post/50972750072Tue, 21 May 2013 02:03:00 -0400quixotic epistaxisblack metalcut paperwinternightskygaurdians<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/44377309a72235b8ecaa4c31741300c6/tumblr_mlbwyxVOzh1qjfzxho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Celebrate finishing art school by drawing more.</p>http://a-mcleod.tumblr.com/post/48097418635http://a-mcleod.tumblr.com/post/48097418635Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:30:02 -0400quixotic epistaxispsychedelicsketchbook<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bcefd6a104a6d567fbd758177c9b0a1d/tumblr_ml853vvZMz1qjfzxho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Finished one spread of the picture book, working on another.
