new project

Hey, I'm back after a long hiatus... I got really busy with freelance work over Christmas and I neglected this poor blog for quite a while! Anyway, here's a new thing that I'm toying with. I think I ultimately want these to be drawings, but I like working them out on the old AI beforehand. Yes, there will be more.

Best. Constellation. Ever.

Illustration Friday- Forgotten

OOPS! She forgot to attach her finger!

i like commie art

so here is a new version of commie art. sort of.

I just saw Speed Racer, and despite the horrible reviews, I totally loved it. "Eye candy" doesn't even begin to describe it. It was more like "visual cortex re-wiring". God, I wish I knew how to do that video/animation combination kind of thing. All I can do is write "THIS GUY IS A JERK" on top of someone's picture, or poorly animate a line drawing in Flash. WOAH someone in their 30s has career reservations? A shock!

For Angie: Finally!

Here it is. This was a combination of doing a drawing, then photographing it, then making a vector thing out of it, plus adding colors and textures. Sorry it took 1000 months, Ang!

THE MUSICAL GUN

This was just a fun thing to do.

Cleaning out the closet

Hi, it's been a while since I posted because I'm working on this thing for my pal Angie that I keep screwing up. So I thought I'd post a couple of pictures from files labeled things like "UHHH" and "what?".

The first one was a design I was going to send in to Threadless, but then I thought it might be too "druggy" or hippie or whatever. (Even though that isn't what I intended- I just read Omnivore's Dilemma and was thrilled with the mushroom hunting part of it.) I'm not happy at all with the composition, but unhappiness does not make me draw better so here you go.

The next one is of a rock guy playing guitar. Behold the lens flare! Even though that's kind of a cheesy-newbie tool, I totally love it. God help me.
