A bit of inspiration...

I love the stylistic elements of this gorgeous animation by Sacrebleu Productions (site is in French)

So.

As you read this, assuming you read this the day I post this, I am on the first leg of my journey to Denver, Colorado.

Anyways, I don't think I ever showed you all my final Sasquatch painting...

here he is in all his massive 6x4ft glory:

I don't know if i'll be able to update on friday... we'll see where I am as far as unpacking.

Photos, say what?

Oh look, photos of Australia:

I love a good landscape...

When a plan comes together

Remember this?:

Meet planning stage two:
and when that's done I'll find my way to home depot for a panel, because I'd like to do it large.

Oh and then there's the finished version of this:
Hopefully I will be getting a new camera around x-mas so that my images will be of better quality... I'm tired of how grainy these are.

Also I'll be at the Ravenswood Art Walk tomorrow... and maybe I'll remember to take pictures

What time is it?

Clock concept, because I'm amazing like that:

But seriously, concept sketches on thursday.

Snow White

more of that Snow White business

Delicious

And now.... something you wouldn't expect to see on a sketch blog...

Photography!

I did this diabetes inducing collage for my Digital Illustration class:

mmmmmmmmm sugar....

I really have no clue what photography has to do with digital illustration... but at least I got candy out of the deal.

So....

For some reason.. when I upload this image it... well not exactly inverts the colors... but does a major hue shift:

I wonder if it's because the color was originally in cmyk? is that a possibility?

I mean it looks cool like this... but  it's not really ideal

anyhow, this is the imagery for my promotional post cards that I'm giving out at the Art Sale

where I will be selling pirnts of Swamp Beast, Wolfman, Greek Tragedy, and assuming they turned out ok, posters of my Monster Alphabet (and also the originals will be for sale)

plus I'll have some comics for sale... and maybe, just maybe some smallish paintings.

but yes, again here is the art sale info:

SAIC's 9th Annual Spring Art Sale

MacLean Center Ballroom, 112 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL

Friday April 17th: 11am to 7pm

Saturday April 18th: 10am to 5pm

admission is free to the public, and there's something for everyone

(unless everyone hates art... then they can stay home)

In the mean time I'll attempt to correct this colorshift issue

Inside the Artist's Studio

I don't have a studio...

In fact I don't even have a desk anymore (not that there's anywhere to put one). So I work at my kitchen counter: 

The food remains seen there are from some garlic cauliflower, if you were wondering.

Anyways, here's a look at what I'm actually working on:

It's a Monster Alphabet! 

My plan, once I'm finished, is to arrange all these guys into formation for a poster that I plan to sell at the Art Sale in April.  I will also be selling the originals... but for significantly more money.

Ta-Da!

The finished product:



I'm going to go back and take more pictures soon, but overall I'd say the BFA show, in it's self, was stellar.

BFA Preview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts show is just around the corner... here's some in progress shots of my

installation: 

real life recreation go!:
Obviously I couldn't actually open up my stomach and show you my insides, so you'll just have to deal with me looking distressed at my skin colored tank top.

I will post pictures of the final, I'm sure

Art Blog?

I recently realized that I need an art blog, separate from my personal journal.

Something that i could pretend was my professional web page until i actually make a

professional webpage.

so, here we go...

success?
