artSOUP! artSOUP! artSOUP!
artSOUP! is a delicious mix of art school, photography, bunny fur and a little bit of crazy. I draw people's pets to help pay for school at CCA. My personal art can be seen at LAURinfamous.com.
Here are a few pictures from the dog park (Alamo Square in San Francisco, aka doggie heaven). Tip and Gozer had a great time terrorizing.
Cheeeez. I had about 10 pictures featuring Gozer with this same face on, slightly different angles. He was just sooo excited…nerd!
I have a lot of finished work to post so no room for sketches today – but I’ll be posting some fun progress pictures again soon!
Sweet Dreams now has Dwarf Hotots! Awww so cute. See the Holland Lop version here!
This Harlie was made for Nationals awards….Linda Wilbur will be embroidering them onto lots of sweet stuff. Super excited! And speaking of awards…
Fuzzy Lop nationals will have some cute awards as well! The show and awards have a bunny angel theme in memory of Brian Hartzell.

Blue Pez rabbitry – LOVE the theme haha
The color scheme on this one was to die for – it’s not very often I have 2 bunnies to draw and only black, white and pink to work with. Yeaaa limited palette!
Starstruck – another fun palette!
My friend Julie of Oak Ridge Rabbitry’s spoiled pet bunny, Maggie. Princess!
a painting I did of my puppy, Gozer
so my wonderfully sweet boyfriend got me a dog for christmas – he arrived a little late (never something to be rushed) but he’s made himself right at home and i love him to death. i couldn’t have asked for a better dog…even if he does hog the bed.
this is a good example of the value & contrast i really love in photography – its a little odd. i feel like now that we have these AMAZING high quality cameras available to us, we feel like all photography has to be perfectly detailed and clear in all areas. as i was editing these pictures, i was thinking about how you can only see half of gozer’s face in most of these pictures and a lot of his black color fades into shadow, the shadow and dog become one and the same. i like that.
value is the backbone of art and photography – its so important, because it makes shapes and composition. it gives our eyes a place to rest in an image. we had this discussion in class the other day actually….old black and white films and black and white photography being so beautiful because of the emphasis on lighting, contrast and value. maybe we CAN’T see everything – that’s what’s interesting about it! color is wonderful but it’s not the most important. its all about value. i like the shapes that gozer makes in these pictures due to the high contrast between his fur and the floor….my dog is a beautiful mutt!
he’s such a nerd. i loves him.
