                         Ugly on the outside, but beautiful on the inside

"You never know what you have until you lose it, and once you         lose it, you can never get it back" R.I.P ♥

This is a Drawing of myself and a Pug that I once had. The name of the pug is Penelopie and the meaning of her name is " Ugly on the outside, but beautiful on the inside". Penelopie was born on October the 30th 2010, and we I first got her on the December 21st 2010 as a Christmas gift from my parents. We had Penelopie up till summer of 2011. July 12th, 2011 I let Penelopie out on her harness and chain as usual and in a matter of 10 minutes she was gone. We could not find her after. I called the cops, Searched for weeks on end and put up posters and ads online. But there was no sign of her after. I Miss her dearly. I most likely wont know what happen to her but I will always miss her.  

                                  In loveing memeory of Penelopie the Pug. 



                                   

                                       Under the Mistletoe

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain

This is yet again another picture of my friend. But she as a her cat Mistletoe. Why was I inspired to do this picture, Is simply because of boredom during online classes. I Want to be able to get better at drawing people and especially people I know. So I figured why not do both a animal and a person I know and WAAALAAAH! Hope you enjoy.  :)

Jack

"Jack slashed at one with his knife and the scent spilled over them"

Jack Merridew is Ralph's antagonist in the novel. When he is first seen on the island, he is leading a group of choirboys, who are dressed in strange uniform and march military style. It is a foreshadowing of Ralphs' authoritarian and dictatorial leadership at the end of the novel. During the novel, Jack is in constant conflict with Ralph, for he feels he should be the leader.

Stroker My Sister's Chocolate Lab! :)



Stroker   
                                                 
                      "When God made Labrador Retrievers, 
                                  he was showing off" 


This is a portrait of my sister's chocolate lab. His name is Stroker and that is where I got the name of the drawing.




The Lord Of The Flies ( Piggy and Ralph )

                                                     
                                               Castle Rock


                           "'I don't care what you call me so long as...
                     it's not what they used to call me in school...
                               They used to call me Piggy!'"
                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                       

   Piggy is the fat boy who is the brunt of all the jokes and teasing in the novel. He is physically weak and constantly complains about his asthma. He is also myopic and almost blind without his glasses. But Piggy is also rational and has an understanding about life. He constantly warns the boys about their behavior and foolish ways. He also becomes Ralph's best friend and serves as a sounding board and adviser to him.


                   ''We've got to have rules and obey them. 
         After all, we're not savages. We're English, 
                 and the English are best at everything.''


    Ralph is the protagonist of the novel who at first is overjoyed to be on a tropical island free from adult restraints. To express his excitement, he stands on his head, foreshadowing the Topsy-turvy nature of things to come. By nature, he is an innocent, mild- tempered boy who accepts leadership when it is thrust on him. He serves as a democratic leader who tries to keep the boys together on the island and uses a conch shell to mildly show his authority. He thinks of building shelters to protect them and a signal fire for their rescue. He befriends Piggy, the fat boy that receives taunts and teases from the other boy, and learns to rely on Piggy's intellectual reasoning


     Ralph has courage when the occasion demands it, but he really longs for the secure world of grown-ups, especially when order starts breaking down on the island. He dreams about a rescue and insists the signal fire burn at all times so that they can be seen. Ralph knows that the main reason for the disorder on the island is Jack, the antagonist and representation of evil in the novel. There is a constant conflict between the two boys. Ralph stands for civilized ideals, while Jack leads a tribe of savages and lapses into primitive rituals.

                                              Distinctive Captivity 


This is a piece that was inspired by one of the largest birds in North-America the Bald Eagle. This birds was in the endangered for years. But recently they have become more and more populated. I don't have this picture anymore because, my homeroom grade 11 teacher wanted me to do a picture for him so I decided I'd do something Newofundland related and It so happened that I seen a eagle flying round and then I had the idea to draw it up for him.

                                        Loxodonta africana


If anyone is wondering about the name of this drawing " Loxodonta Africana " it is the scientific name for African Elephant. This was drawn and Entered in the Regional Drama Festival. 

P.s Elephants are one of my FAVORITE animals. :)
                                                          
                              Painted Faces and Long Hair



     "I painted my  face--I stole up. Now you eat--all of you'"
       - William Golding, Lord of the Flies, Ch. 4"



This is a drawing of  a chapter four of the book. This was another picture I was in love with doing because, It made me realize that If your gonna draw something related to a book then might at well draw a piece of the book. How much more related to a book can you get. :)

Simon the Innocent
   
 Some people may know of the novel, The Lord Of The Flies by William Golding. The young boy in the drawing in from of the Pigs head on a stick is Simon. Simon is a shy, sensitive boy in the group. Simon, in some ways the only naturally “good” character on the island, behaves kindly toward the younger boys and is willing to work for the good of their community. Moreover, because his motivation is rooted in his deep feeling of connectedness to nature, Simon is the only character whose sense of morality does not seem to have been imposed by society. Simon represents a kind of natural goodness, as opposed to the unbridled evil of Jack and the imposed morality of civilization represented by Ralph and Piggy.
Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings. Myself enjoy the epiphany, that you have made something that can symbolize. I wouldn't consider myself a artist, I'm not that experienced on creating something amazing. Actually i'm not experienced at all, only by my own skill. I had never been in art school or had taken any sort of lesson. I learned how to sketch on my own terms. I am also inspired by other types of art such as photography, sculptures, theater arts, etc. I have done pictures for family and for special occasions like Christmas. I have no talent other then drawing and other art related activities. I cannot sing, write a 90 above essay on my own, nor am I a amazing musician. I am capable of playing piano, guitar and bass but I'm not amazing. So I take pride in the one and only gift I have and I hope to be able to have a job that I can take it into use
