latest drawing

I decided to revise my cowboy digital disaster from earlier this year by starting completely over, and then just doing away with color all together.
And honestly after drawing that guy for 4 weeks I couldn't go back to it. So stuffed him in the back left corner and drew this.




I just finished off Emma, and I have to say Emma and Northanger Abby aren't my favorite Austins. They make me feel a little bit more stupid after I read them. Although, the chapter where Emma and Mr. Knightly are arguing about if any woman of good virtues are worth a man well above her status was worth it. Too bad it was the third chapter and by the end it feels like Austin says "Yeah she's worth it, but she aint going to get it." But then I read Lady Susan and felt better.

another revision




This is guaranteed the only place on the internet you can find Lincoln, Warf, and Britney Spears in the same place.

My signature looks super dumb because I did it without the tablet. I'll fix that later.

recent stuff

ah a fox



Its kind of cheesy. I was hoping it would just seem old fashioned but its really just cheesy.

Its more subdued and washed out because I'm going to print it, and I've noticed it always prints in hyper-colors and so I'm doing this as an expirement.

tea time


recent acrylic/oil thing. I was surprised how quickly I got it done. I'm all about painting on top of quick digital paintings nowadays. The only hassle is when you mount on foam core. I wish I knew that before I put my BFA all on foam core. Ps, my BFA is up in the Gallery 303 right now. Opening Reception is Friday 6-8. I should make a flyer or something...

graphic design stuff

I think I should finally get around to making a buisness identity I like. So here's the first run and what I came up with.

front of envelope



back of envelope



cover letter design




Still needs work, though. PS, I finally looked at the word envelope and realized what a strange word that is--sounds like some mix between an elephant and a antelope.

color test 1 of thing I did earlier.


too dark for childrens books but its something.
What I like: texture, and that its different
What I don't like: flashbacks of standard backgrounds for MS Powerpoint.

getting towards the end of the semester...


today's 15 minute study made a mess with value. But at least its helping me loosen up.

This is dedicated to my little brother who makes video game playing into a fine art.
