...and more!

So, I must make Sarah Palin as much of a M.I.L.F. as I can and get her likeness down really good. For some reason... Tim did not go for the other illustration. I am really bummed out about that. I mean, for one, how in the heck do you not know what the Louvre looks like? Another thing is how do you not make out what is going on? I am really not liking what happened. I am also posting some older things.

Final Color and Black & White versions of the first project.


Black & White version of previous project (color coming soon!)

I might start posting work outside school. Such stuff as Word its and any thing done for money. Until then... Ciao!

October 8, 2009: Birthday, classes and more!

Hey people. I have been having a good past two weeks. This week seems rather boring. My birthday was this past weekend and I turned 21. What did I do? I got pissed (Scotsman's way of saying drunk) and had fun. I ended up having a fairly good weekend. I am about 9 days away from going to see the Avett Brothers here in Manhattan at Terminal 5. I purchased the tickets last night and got excited about the show. I still need to pick up the new album. My classes have been alright so far. I found my groove in my Senior Projects. The sketches I did for today's class are up at the bottom. I want to do the pyramid ones. That is about Egypt being pissed at the Louvre for not giving back stolen artifacts. The other one is about Sarah Palin finishing her book and getting number 1 in book sales online and at Barnes & Nobel. I enjoy doing political stuff. I will post more stuff when I get the time. I will also be an extra in a video project so I'll link it here when it becomes available.

I might do this more often. I got an email back from Tim O'Brien. He thinks that my sketch I sent him last night is not working. Ugh! I worked at least 4 hours on it trying to get the likeness of Joe Wilson. What a waste! If this got me any closer to getting the right compsition and all that jazz then maybe it's worth it. I finally got my Anthropology book today. That means I'll be reading tonight and working as well. I can't wait to get this shit done! I'm so busy!!! Ok, time to add sketch 2 to this. It's progress and it should pay off in the end.

September 13, 2009

I am at school. I already have a lot of work to do, but I feel like I need to take my time this year and make sure things go right for me. Already having room mate issues. One of them got mad last night over brownies and punched a hole into my bathroom door and shattered a beer bottle all over the bathroom. I need this shit to end quick. I am emailing a sketch that will hopefully be approved of Joe Wilson (R) of South Carolina yelling at President Barack Obama saying, "You lie" in a game of Bullshit. I find it humorous. I feel like I should add on more, but I just want to email it so I'm not late. I'd rather be not late than be late. Yeah, so I was asked to join a Fraternity as well. I think not. As much as I like having friends I'd rather not pay to have them. My work is far more important to me than gaining new friends.

June 22, 2009: Day After Father's Day

Happy belated Father's Day to all the fathers out there. I am writing this at 3:25 a.m. My summer is chugging along. I have no current employment and am no longer seeking a "job" for the summer. I am still willing to look for commission type jobs that do not require me to attend a work place for more than a couple months. The economic down fall has kept not only me but many from having a normal summer. I have recieved word from a friend that we, and possibly one more, might be working on a project involving a new attraction in Disney World. This is both exciting and good for me. The details right now are; I am illustrating conceptual landscape/architecture; my friend is creating a storyline and making a layout of the attraction; I might be working with one other illustrator. The whole concept is a new country in Epcot, Greece. Our theme is possibly something to do with ancient Greece and Mt. Olympus. I am quite excited.

There is another project with a different friend though. He and a couple of friends are making a script/story of a Marvel comics character, Dead Pool. I was asked if I would be interested in possibly illustrating the story in comic form. Of course I am. The problem? I am to draw Americanized comics like what DC and Marvel comics look like. I tend to take my time with things like that. I am also not getting paid. I have not seen the story. I should at least come up with conceptual character sketches. The story (I will be brief) is about Dead Pool obtaining Cletus Cassidy's symbiote, Carnage. Cassidy must get Eddie Brock (who is Anti-Venom in this storyline) to help get back Carnage because Cassidy is the only one that knows how to control the symbiote. Dead Pool just assumes Carnage is only another voice in his head. This idea is great, but I really want to read how it goes so I know how to draw it.

I will be attending a few concerts next month. Staind is having a concert with Sum 41, Shinedown, Chevell, The Offspring and another band I forgot. That is July 12. I will also be seeing The Avett Brothers twice toward the end of the month. The show on the 30th is free, but they also play in Syracuse (my hometown, where I am right now) the next day. I am also expecting to catch a friend's show in late August down on Long Island. Busy, busy summer. I have yet to crack open my oils to work on a couple of portraits. I also have watched Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on youtube and don't know why Fox canceled a good show. Sure, all if not most of the terminator fights were just pushing and shoving, but the show really helped expand the Terminator universe with a bigger cast of characters than the movies. It's too bad the movies didn't follow the show. It was really interesting how the second season ended.

June 2, 2009

Above images are tablet drawings done on both Facebook graffiti application and photoshop respectively.

I have been out of school for about a few weeks. It's hard to get a job here because of this shit economy. I have been slowly progressing in doing anything artistic because of my attention span. I will be seeing a bunch of shows this summer. More than usual. I feel like I am a defected art student because of my lack of; skill in getting a job: finding commission work: my utter laziness. I fear failure very bad. I have been using my tablet in the past week and got somewhat better with it. I haven't used it before this week since last fall. All of my friends either have a job or an internship. I feel horrible when I think about that. Sometimes I just want to do a meaningless job like being a groundskeeper or stack shelves just so I don't have to be based off skill all the time. My opinion on the intern matter is that I lack skill and fear I won't get into any because I will be unwanted. It's not fair. The only thing that would make me quit art is if Arianne got one before I do. My brother's birthday is the day after tomorrow and I haven't done anything for him yet. This is a self loathing post if you haven't noticed yet. I just want school to start again so I can improve beyond belief. I am now reading Jurassic Park because I just finished the previous book I read, Dragon Tears by Dean Koontz. I feel like reading all summer.

March 11, 2009

Hey people. I have been lurking around campus for the past month. Spring has come back. my favorite season has returned indeed. I will find out Friday if I get either job for next year (RA and Orientation Staff Member). I have super good news. I am finally doing what I have been waiting for for 8 years. I am finally going to put Max down in ink form and give him life! Max is a character I made up since the eighth grade. I have doodled him constantly for so long and now I have the chance to bring him to reality and characterize him fully. I am excited to start! I am also excited that my Spring Break starts tomorrow at 12:30 pm! I will be here in Brooklyn for my whole break and get to see Angela (girlfriend) for more than just a 2 day period! During that Time I will pencil Max's comic out, that is after creating a story and story board for it. I will also be working heavily on a children book that I have been neglecting for the past few weeks. As for big news, I got meal plan money for my card. No more getting money out of my account.

Harmony, 2008.(Some oldish work for your viewing pleasure)
