You can’t control what other people think or if they’ll give you a job. You can only control your own actions and the work you produce. You have to be a little delusional to pursue a life in the arts, so throw caution to the wind and make pictures that excite you and hopefully the world will agree.”<br/><br/> - <em>Jillian Tamaki (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://stevekim.com/">steve-kim</a>)</em>http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/15018759868http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/15018759868Fri, 30 Dec 2011 03:20:31 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwajmgMDjG1qjyqz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>V-Jake Mensinger</p> <p>7.5’ X 12’ , charcoal</p>http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14518027685http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14518027685Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:31:05 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwajhyXCTj1qjyqz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Progress</p>http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14516925875http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14516925875Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:00:06 -0500work in progressartdrawing<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwaj5sHvRX1qjyqz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>III -Jake Mensinger</p> <p>36”x52”, Charcoal</p>http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14410685740http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14410685740Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:00:06 -0500artdrawingcharcoalweirdsurrealsurrealismexpressionexpressionism<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwaiym8oT41qjyqz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>II-Jake Mensinger</p> <p>30” x 48”, Charcoal</p>http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14314827655http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/14314827655Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:00:05 -0500artdrawingcharcoalweirdsurrealexpressionsurrealismexpressionismcharcoal<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok37yVdn51qjyqz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>IV - <a href="http://mensinger.tumblr.com/">Jake Mensinger</a></p> <p>33 by 49.5 inches, Charcoal</p>http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/7783336554http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/7783336554Fri, 16 Dec 2011 04:51:57 -0500artdrawingcharcoalsurrealsurrealismwork in progress<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok2kvn5MR1qjyqz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok2kvn5MR1qjyqz8o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok2kvn5MR1qjyqz8o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok2kvn5MR1qjyqz8o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok2kvn5MR1qjyqz8o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok2kvn5MR1qjyqz8o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lok2kvn5MR1qjyqz8o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>process</p> <p><a href="http://mensinger.tumblr.com/">Jake Mensinger</a></p>http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/7782829397http://mensinger.tumblr.com/post/7782829397Fri, 16 Dec 2011 04:49:51 -0500artdrawingwork in progress<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsys43N84J1qjyqz8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Another process pic.
