I can't wait to see this one at home because the texture looks so interesting and I want to touch it myself. I think it's cool that you got to learn the technical skills to put together a functional pot. I think functional art is so satisfying to make! I hope you had fun doing it.

Looks great! A coping saw is like a manual scroll saw or like the Band Saw you used during your visit. Finish carpenters use a miter saw and also a coping saw to create a perfect miter joint. We can cut a stencil out of some hardwood on the band saw next time and use a good finish to bring out the wood grain during your next visit. :-)

The shading and use of dark and light make this piece very visually appealing. I think it would make a lovely greeting card or small framed piece of art.

This sounds like a neat project. I'd love to hear more about this one! Is the idea that people could use your container to play a game with one another?

I love how happy he is! He has a great mustache too.

The background is interesting and complex. I love the techniques you chose. I think the line work is well done too. I could imagine this being an album cover for a musical artist!

Looks great! My favorite art of yours yet.

This is cool Eli. I love how the hoodie is darker. I'd call this hip street art.

WOW. Very cool. You see this style for skateboarding, bands, and other progressive themes.

Fries from France, in Greyscale, Black and White, and Bold Colors. I love your choices. Great work Eli !

Mission Accomplished, Eli Now I'm hungry. :-)

That looks wonderful, Eli. Excellent job! :-)

There is such gentleness and dynamic shading I see in this piece. I like the mix of softness and hardness. It would make a beautiful card or framed work of art.

Hey eli, great job! Your drawings are looking good. Keep up the good work! -Uncle Wendell

For some reason I have a sudden hankering for Steak n Shake!

Mmm this one makes me hungry. I appreciate the use of bright, bold colors in this piece! I like all the detail on the hamburger too, I can see so many toppings!

You have a theme going. The image makes me hungry1 Keep it up.

Another very fun piece! The checkered pattern really draws your eyes into the center of the piece. The colors you choose really pop as well. I appreciate the sense of symmetry to the work with the blue balanced on the top left and top right side, having green on both the left and right in the middle, and one sport on each side as well at the bottom. Excited to see more!

So many vibrant colors and detailed shading, Eli! I'm particularly attracted to the solid black and white one. I could imagine this one being a logo or icon for a company as it's really bold and eye-catching. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

"All the things that are loved"... great topic. I'm with you on pizza, trees, blue skies, and basketball. I love watching you play baseball.

I love this series, Eli. Once in art school we were asked to make a hundred drawings of a common object. I chose my key ring. By the end, the drawings had gotten pretty weird. Keep it coming!

French fries! The image you chose is iconic. I'd love to hang this up in the house.

This reminds me of you, Eli. I like how you used blue in the top two triangles and patterns in the top three. It looks cartoony, which I also like.
