Pretty Woman with Winter Fur Hat

2012-02-01T13:31:00.004-06:00

by Jessell

I was telling Jessell that this reminds me of Dr. Zhivago. I think it looks great.

"I drew the woman's face on paper; I made the face and fur hat on the computer. I added color on the computer. It was difficult."
-Jessell

Drawing detail

2012-02-01T10:54:00.002-06:00

Here's a detail from a drawing that Luke is working on in both studios. He is showing the composers and their brains.
"Here is Beethoven, Bach, Gershwin, Chopin and Mendelssohn. Other composers will be in it also."

Hadyn wrote "The Creation" the oratorio and he composed the seasons. And he composed alot more symphonies and quartets. The cookie has frosting and it has Hadyn's head on it.
That's it for Hadyn.

Giulietta's Skeleton

2012-01-11T11:52:00.002-06:00

Giulietta was a young countess. Beethoven never got married. He loved Giulietta. He gave her piano lessons. He was a commoner so they couldn't get married. He dedicated Moonlight Sonata to her. This is her skeleton.

Fannie May Factory of People Making Chocolate Composers For Everybody to Buy if They Believe in Composers

2012-01-05T09:32:00.005-06:00

I am braistorming a new project.

How much does it cost for all those composers, to put them in boxes and sell them in the store? You have to pay for it.

How much does really cost?

Luke's Cookie Designs

2011-12-28T10:56:00.004-06:00

Luke would like to petition the Girl Scouts to use his cookie designs. He thinks they would all be better with composers on them (see Beethoven Thin Mint prototype).

"Dear Girl Scouts,
Please make the cookie of Beethoven for me and everybody else to buy and put them in packages. Brahms and Bach can be on different kinds of cookies. Each cookie could have a different composer. Then other people can know what they look like. The boxes can be red, green, blue, yellow and orange. The price can stay the same.
Put a ribbon around it.

Thank you,

Luke Tauber"

Paul's work for today

2011-11-16T14:16:00.002-06:00

I drew this off yet another anime character (YAY!!) In any case I was feeling religious so that's why he's got the cross-like object called a Bascule (Bass-q-al) and I'm really too lazy to say anything else right now.

Fanny, Felix and Rebeckah

"My older brother and sister stole my reputation as an artist. In any other family, I would have been highly regarded as a musician and perhaps been leader of a group. Next to Felix and Fanny, I could not aspire to any recognition."

Near the School

2011-10-19T10:35:00.002-05:00

Paul scanned a small area of a large drawing and used it as the basis for a new media piece.

This is my first real work of art that I consider actually good. It was difficult to draw to get the girl's body right then the trees and the fence, I guess you could say size was the hardest part. There is some symbolism to it as well, sadly enough. The entire picture could not fit in the scanner but it's ok. Call it Version 2 if you want.

From Luke's composers book:

"Creation with Beethoven was no easy lighthearted process. He toiled over every measure sitting at his unlikely desk which was littered with rusty pins, half eaten food and dirty socks."
