Moving to tumblr!

So it's gotten to that time where I hardly update this thing anymore and any more often on Tumblr than anything. I've decided to make my blog switch to tumblr. I may post things here every blue moon, but even that is doubtful.

SHCC Halloween mashup

So the still-loved Superhero Cocoa blog is rebooted and going again. They kicked off with a Halloween costume party challenge. The submission pictured above is my Human Torch and Elliot Boyette’s Lobster Johnson!

And below just the stand-alone of Human Torch and a close-up.

Four Rooms

So I got to watching the movie Four Rooms on Netflix. I recognized Tim Roth from Lie To Me and couldn't help but doodle him. But past that, it's worth the watch. Check it out.

There's a movie doodle/tribute from Hunger Games that I've finished inking and have yet to post. That one will be up relatively soon.

Never move. It sucks..

So I feel I should start off with an 'I'm sorry I haven't posted in ages', but it's been nothing but non-stop moving and apartment hunting for about a month now. I'm currently living out of boxes and fending off strep throat at its finest. But in August the regular posting shall resume, I promise! We got approval on the dream apartment so suck it!

I don't have my scanner set up due to the constant moving, so suck it twice over for some of these shit ass iphone uploads.

A doodle for What I Wore Today.

Starbucks sketches, but I kept getting caught. Guess I'm not so sneaky..

And I've never seen Indiana Jones so this is how I envision him.

BFA madness is coming to an end

So I realize I've neglected any info to my bfa on my blog for 2 months now. Well here it goes.

The idea: Using art college as a safety blanket to break down all barriers, discover yourself and then face the real world.
The method: Originally was sought to use a projector, but the gallery space wouldn't allow due to lighting. Thus it turned into light/shadow boxes that project the shadow creatures onto the back of the images.

And after 2 months of working like crazy to get my senior bfa project finished, it feels great to say I have turned it in. But there's still hanging it in the gallery, which is later tonight so it's not over yet.
I'll make another post later with gallery pictures and photos of them hanging with the back lighting on it. Or maybe I'll just edit this one. Who knows.

Edit as promised:

Preface Piece Snippets

So just a test run of our BFA piece. Just something new I'm working with. Inspired by folklore or a little girl born of a snowball and the spring sun.

Still lots to edit, but it's a start. I think I'm sold on the background, not so much the figure nor the blanket.

Postcard #1 '12

Another promo postcard mailed out in bulk of 37.

Promo Packet '11

At the end of the year we set together promo packets to mail out. Here's a few cruddy snaps of the promotional packet using the nightmares in drowning visual essay. I plan on printing some more because I was quite fond of these.

Nightmares in Drowning

Pardon the lax in blogging. I kind of forgot about it after making a website. But I'm back so fear not! And I've come with updates and goodies and such.

So end of last semester we had a visual essay assignment. I chose my topic to be a morph of nightmares and drowning. Here are the results:

NPDA comps

{National Portfolio Day Association} comps

One of our assignments in Illustration is to get together with a designer and make a poster for the National Portfolio Day Assocation. The poster, if chosen, would be hung in highschools across the country.

{Left}
Concept: Stains
Stains being a form of imprint or memory and it's connection to the senses.

{Right}
Concept: Navigation
Using tacks on a corkboard/map to map the location. All the paths converge into NPDA (one location) and then disperse again.

There were 3 other design, but these 2 I had most of the hand in concept building and execution.
I have a thing for squiggly brackets right now. Just go with it.

Vissual Essay - Advertising/Childhood Obesity

My visual essay about the effects of advertising being a cause of childhood obesity. 

What's Missing?

What's Missing - Illustration 5 piece

Taxidermy Mesh

Here is my submission for this week's Machines and Monsters. It's a pretty neat blog and you should check it out. Submissions every 2 weeks and a new story every time. ;)

Tattoo Design

So I had designed a tattoo for my step dad way back when and just never got around to sending it. I was going to mail him a letter anyways so I found the old design and no longer liked the look. So I revamped it a bit and messed with in in photoshop and added color just to throw on here. I'm not sure if he's going to get it full color or what. We'll have to see.

Safe sex with foxes

Just a quick little thing. I've been away from the web for some time travelling, spending a week on an island and trying to get into the groove of a 7-day a week job.
I've got some sketch book goodies to post, but those will come in August when I post for the Horn Island Gallery. I've also got some other stuff, but I'm pure lazy right now. I'll get back into the blogging in a few.

Also, they're supposed to be cards in my hand, but apparently they look like condoms. 

Book Interior Rework

I'm still not entirely pleased with this piece and I'll keep working on it, but for now this is where it stands. I'm also going to be adding the rework of the other interior pretty soon.

Original post

Death Penalty

Needs some more, but for the life of me I can't function enough to do it tonight.

We'll see if I pick it up later.

Commission Snippet

Here's a snippet of the imagery from a job I've been working on the past few months for a tween jewelery package design - NekEmote. It's still in the works of getting on the shelves, but it's now on it's way with some snazzy art for the package inserts. Lots of little tweeks along the way to get them looking just right.

If I can find a screenshot of the original concept of the girls I'll post it too. It changed quite a ways from the sketches. But for now enjoy.

(Update) Found it.

52 Demons printed? Check.

So after a semester of slaving all hours of the day, but mainly just the night, to meet the deadlines for sketches, comps and finals, I am glad to say that they are done. And they don't look too shabby if I do say so myself. I'll try to get individual suit images later, but I couldn't resist posting a pic of the full deck. I'll probably end up editing them and reprinting a better suit for myself later this summer (especially since officemax gives us cheap-o good prints and doesn't try to rip you off by charging $5 to flip the sheet and print 2-sided!) but for now these shall do.

I'm off to oggle my deck some more... And do more work I suppose.

Help, I can't decide!

So I'm no type guru and I have come to a wall. I found some fonts I like, all of which are commercial and non-commercial usable, and I've narrowed it down to four. the dilemma comes down to 1 ultimately which I just can't seem to choose. Any suggestions? I have no clue. D: Help?
