Kramer

DON'T WORRY CHUMPS, this is nothing new. Same caricature of Kramer (from Seinfeld) that I did for my illustration class last semester. Re-working my blog, so you might end up seeing some old ish pupping up here and there.

Sci-Fi Acrylic

DING DING, round two, suckaz. This one's dedicated to a single project, still from media, that I had fun with. That's right, you liberal art school pansies, I have fun while I work. Booyakasha.

Painted in acrylic.

The assignment was "Sci-Fi/Fantasy," very open, very do-whatever-you-like, very fun.

Ok, I'm going to walk you guys through my whole process. Sort of. IT STARTS OFF in the upper left hand corner

of that first image; just a thumbnail, just an idea. Below it, you had a close second for the final decision

of what to take all the way, that being Space Monkey vs. Space Velociraptor. The composition is worked

up a bit, and then traken to a much larger piece of paper, and tightly rendered.

THIS HAPPENS IN ALL MY PIECES regardless of what medium I use.

Once I've got it drawn out to my liking, I can it into the computer, and print out like 10 copies, since I'm

roughly 90% guaranteed to screw up at least once. One of those copies is matte medium-ed down to a

board, and I throw a darker tone over the whole thing, so I can draw everything out INTO the light. I hate

working the other way around. Never really turns out nicely for me.  From here on out, it's essentially a slow

process of working dark-to-light

Watercolor, Gouache

Wussup chumps? Day two of the old-art-onslaught (old, of course, meaning done in the last couple months). Here's some stuff I've done for Brooke Olivares's (spelling?) advanced media class. There are a couple pen and ink ones I've left out, only because I don't quite know where they are. Regardless, you fools are getting a double dosage tonight, simply because one post can't handle this ish.

Watercolor/Digital

Watarcolor portraits was the assignment, so that's what I did.

After hours of scouring Google Images, I found what I thought were

three of the ugliest, goofiest, most interesting mugs in the history

of basball. Couple tweaks here and there, and Bob's your uncle.

Rory, Dad, I'm sorry about the teams, that's just

how it worked out.

Gouache

Never touched gouache before, but I've grown to like it.

Master copy portraits; the miner was done by the late, great,

Norman Rockwell, the fat sailor was done by...the other...late,

great, Dean Cornwell.

Christmas Illustration

I hope y'all are ready for a waterfall of old material that is FINALLY coming into light. After almost a full-semester dry spell, I'll be dropping all the artwork that has remained in hiding until now. For tonight, I'll hit you guys with some illustration stuff. Keep in mind that, while this isn't necessarily a whole lot, I'm currently working on 2 projects, and may or may not have a third to accompany those for the end of the year.

Digital

This was the first assignment of the semester. We had to

illustrate what we got for Christmas. My brothers and I

gave each other money out of our wallets, among other

things.

Computer Illustration x2

Here's some end-of-the-year stuff that I did for computer illustration. I'm pretty happy with how the ninja turtles one turned out.

This is an environmental design for a group project we did.

Long story short, Nick Dehart and I won't be taking "Pork Precinct" any

further due to budget cuts.

This is the final assignment for the class. What we were told to do

was choose a company to work for, and create a piece that would suit the

sort of stuff they do.

I had a lot of fun with the "Graveyard Shift" pulp cover assignment, so I chose the probably-defunct

Mirage Studios, AKA the creators of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,

and made a comic cover for them.

Illustration First Semester

Here's all the stuff from illustration I haven't posted throughout the semester.

Ok, so the first one is an advertisement for Gillette Razors, without showing the product.

The second is a "fashion" assignment, and I wanted to make burgers sexy.

The next two are poetry illustrations, written by a friend of Thiel.

Lastly, the spot illustration is for an article about how horse meat is now being used in food, or

at least it was something like that. I didn't read the article too closely.

Jack Black Portrait

Here's some portrait stuff I've done, from assorted flavors of classes (computer illustration and portraiture, specifically).

Jack Black, first try at Correl Painter. I can dig the program, fun stuff.

Graveyard Shift (Society of Illustrators)

Here is the final version of the stuff I gave y'all a sneak preview of last time. After lots of revision, and cutting words and phrases out and rearranging junk, I arrived at this following finished product. There was an earlier version that had a more writing, including many shoutouts and nods to the people who helped me out with titles and names and whatnot, but it was stripped to its necessities. Maybe I'll post that version as well. Later, nerds.

GRAVEYARD SHIFT
The project was to create an original pulp magazine cover.

Trifecta

Here's some of the more recent stuff from my computer illustration class. The project was a 3 part concept piece or something like that. Essentially, I took a guy and illustrated him looking in 3 different mirrors at 3 different times during any given day. Tried to do some different stuff with the lighting and whatnot in each piece. Chiggety chill.

Figure Work

Here's some stuff that I've done in my figure painting class. All done in oil paints, surfaces varying from canvas board to illustration board to cardboard. Lots of board. Posted in a secret order; see if you can figure it out. Anyway, enjoy, suckaz.

   

The secret arrangment is that there is no specific order.

Portraiture

Here's some stuff I've been doing in my portraiture class. They're all in oil paint, done on varying surfaces that have been gessoed, so that part's pretty lame. Whatever, playas. Enjoy.

Posted in chronological order from when the class started up until

the most recently completed one. I'll be posting figure work soon.
