Illustration 1

My first class with DK, and oh what fun it was. Here we have the onamatopoeia project, the album cover project, and the final, the DVD box art project. That green thing toward the bottom is the cover of the DVD booklet insert. It's a cartoony replica of Cecilia Lisbon's diary from the Virgin Suicides. I'm not satisfied with the text on that last one (I kinda ran out of time). My personal favorite: the red dead unicorn.
But it's so sad. The Unicorns only had one album, and they broke up before I had even heard of them. Still, they were
amazing. Look em up and give a listen. It's like molten gold being poured into your ears.

Narrative Illustration stuff

There was very little good work that came out of this class. From day to day it was fun, but I hated most of the projects. Here's the best of the best. The brightly colored ones are book illustrations for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The last one is inspired by a short story called The Rocking Horse Winner.

General Note

By the by, the links at the right are not all people that I know personally, but people that I want to promote because they're all AWESOME.

Thank you.

Here I have some drawings from last summer. I really don't like them now, but at the time I was training to be a caricaturist in New Hope, PA. I was pretty proud of them. As you can see, I have some pretty big names in here . . . below the White Stripes are the members of the Smashing Pumpkins. I drew most of these from CD inserts in the ice cream shop I worked at. 2nd from the bottom is the destroyer goddess Kali. To contrast, the last pic is an Illustration 1 project; a very photorealistic Anthony Hopkins.

Ok, ok, another update. I have SO much work to show, but I hardly ever make time to update this thing. I apologize for that.
The temptation to post my most recent stuff is very strong, but I'm gonna go more-or-less chronologically with my posts from now on.
Here's some tasty (albeit a little stale) goodies.

The first few are from various life drawing classes, with the most recent ones toward the top.

















I'll post more later, honest injun.

Mindless Self Indulgence

Wow, I haven't had time to update in quite a while. Here's a snippet from my final project in Illustration 2. We were randomly assigned a band and had to create a CD cover, insert, disc design, poster, and t-shirt design. Whew. It took a lot of elbow grease, but in the end I think I did some good work. What I've posted is a sketch for the CD insert and the end result. Bitchin'.








More to come . . .

Celebutantes

I did these sketches for my last illustration assignment. The project was to draw the top 5 trends that need to disappear in 2006. Completely stumped for ideas, I drew celebrities that had a vague connection to my project. So here they are.

Nicole Richie, Hilary Duff (or however you spell her name), and the Olson twins . . . *cringe*
