Victor Hugo

A Novel Idea

I'm working on a fiction piece for my Honors English class at Concordia. Right now, it's about ten pages. I'd love any thoughts, comments, or typo alerts! Here's the link.

Charles Dickens

This is an example from my daily sketchbook for Drawing 103. Now that I've started as a freshman at Concordia, I'm getting a chance to do lots of art, but not much time for comic strips right now. . .Don't worry, though! Comics are on the way, once I can squeeze in spare time. I might even be able to publish in our school newspaper, The Sower.

Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov was a Russian writer in the late nineteenth century. He is most famous for his plays and numerous short stories. Popular playwrite Niel Simon based his hilarious play, The Good Doctor, on these short stories.
When my high school chose The Good Doctor for our one-act play, I was asked to draw an ink portrait of Chekhov for posters, programs, and other publicity. Notice the intensity in Chekhov's face.
(p.s. I actually got to play Chekhov in that play!)

The Bard

So I was thinking, why is it that the old artists never gave Shakepeare a smile? I'm sure the man who wrote As You Like It, A Midsimmer Night's Dream, and The Comedy of Errors didn't walk around looking glum all the time. . .

. . . So here is Shakespeare smiling! :)
