2011 Commencement Show

2011 Commencement Show was a big success. Follow the picture to my website to explore each work in detail, in the 'color' and 'print' sections.

Lizard Hunt.

From the sketchbook.

My morning cup of news.

Blacker than usual lately.

TV Tsunami.

I sketched this tonight. 

Thesis work in progress.

Just a couple weeks shy of the semester's halfway point, and I'm wrapping up the first two of four prints planned for this spring's thesis. So far I'm miraculously on schedule. You can see that schedule right here. I'm working on print #2, while putting the finishing touches on print #1.

I don't want to give away too much too early, so here are my original thumbnail sketches for prints #1 and #2, along with an early proof of print #1, which has since been heavily revised...very heavily. Which is one of the reasons it's not completely finished three weeks after it was supposed to have been.


Midterms is two weeks away, and at that point I will share some photos of finished work. For now, look at how scribbly my thumbnails are. Practically incomprehensible. Ridiculous!

Ozymandius.

Gadafi is going the way of Ozymandius, and everyone seems to know it except him.

Fleeing Fish.

Finally finished after months of procrastination and revision.

Toxic Coverage.

 

First week of school, first editorial drawing of the year. 

Earth is a crazy place.

George Lucas anaglyph.

 

My redo of the earlier George Lucas drawing for illustration. Actual 3D, if you happen to have some red/cyan glasses.

Sun Lizard.

Scientists recently concluded that the sun is actually a lizard.

George Lucas in brain-melting 3D

You may have heard the recent news that George Lucas is re-re-re-releasing the Star Wars saga in 3D, starting in 2012 with The Phantom Menace. If you happen to love 3D and Jar-Jar Binks, then this is probably the best news you have heard in a long time.

I, however, get headaches from both 3D movies and Jar-Jar Binks. This is how it makes me feel:

Temperance.

My final tarot card drawing for fantasy art.

Erwin Schrodinger.

My fictitious portrait of Erwin Schrodinger, depicted conducting his famous thought experiment (in a completely fantastical and occult manner) known as the 'Schrodinger's Cat' experiment. The experiment was a logic exercise proposed in order to illustrate a major inconsistency in quantum theory: namely, that what could be said of particles at the subatomic level did not hold true for matter on a macro scale, such as a cat.

Dragon Recipes.

My finished dragon recipe cards for illustration concepts. Dragons love eggs, and they want to make sure kids know how to eat a healthy breakfast.

Spring Print Exchange 2010.

Every semester, those printmakers who feel they just don't have enough stuff to do form a group and promise to edition a work of personal art in the exact number of group-members, and when finished the prints are traded and everybody gets a stack of cool prints. This year's print exchange theme was 'messages.'

To that end, I invented a company to challenge the bicycle-courier monopoly on same-day inter-city deliveries. My brave new startup is called URBAN-THEROPOD and we use genetically recreated and enhanced dinosaurs to beat the traffic and deliver packages. Visit the website to learn more. All 22 members of the print exchange got an individualized authentic URBAN-THEROPOD parcel containing a tall-format promotional poster, folded twice to fit.
