Still working...

Clay Characters

So for ceramics, we are to make a set.  I decided to make a set of characters.  I wish the picture was bigger to you could see all the detail, but right now this is all I have, a phone picture.  Each piece is about 4 to 5 inches tall.  I'm having a lot of fun working on these, and plan on making a few more!

Cody Garcia the Website!

So I don't have much to post right now, so I thought I'd show you a screenshot of my website.  I don't keep it updated as much as this blog, but it does have most of my work (not my recent pieces) a little more organized than here.  I designed it myself.  It's pretty simple but works as a portfolio... which reminds me of some commissioned work in the works my buddy Todd and I will be working on soon.  I will be doing some caricature work as well as some web design.  

Modeling Update

So modeling this guy is taking longer than I had expected.  I'm learning to save A LOT along the way as I've had to learn the hard way and lose an hour or two's work from the computer crashing.  But, having to redo a lot of it is making me learn more about the process and I am getting faster at it as well.  So here is an idea of what it will look like smooth.  It's not ready to be smoothed quite yet, but it's getting there!  

Ceramics

For this project, the class had to throw some forms on the wheel.  From there we had to disassemble the forms into various pieces and combine them to create a new form.  This is my project. 

The second picture is the head ceramic piece I was working on earlier as posted.  This is it after being fired.  The next step would be to paint it with acrylic paint.  

I like to paint

So, I was looking through more pictures, trying to make more space on my computer, and found these two paintings.  

I painted these last year in painting class.  The first piece, "Willie," was my first attempt at painting and my favorite one from that class.  It was 18x24 in. Unfortunately it was stolen.

The second piece is titled, "Weight of the World."  It was 32x24in.  The style was inspired by Derek Hess.  I like the meaning behind the piece as suggested from the imagery.  I ended up selling this to my uncle.  

Another Sculpture

I made this in my sculpture class like the other piece.  I modeled it in Maya (3D Modeling Software) first, then constructed it out of wood.  It's about 4ft in height, width, and length.
