XXVII. Wednesday June 24th @ 12th and Pike.

I'll be having a show at my friend's studio here on capitol hill on 12th and Pike under the samadi yoga place. it's across from boom noodle for those of you who need further direction. I'll be showing with two other artists, Brian Humrichouser, and Robbie that works at B&O.
Here's some stuff i just finished literally a few minutes ago for the show. Enjoy! click them to see the whole image.

(click on them to see the whole thing)
random orgy drawing with a really runny ink pen.

avant garde type shit...

bread basket at cafe presse, and a hottie.

more avant garde galliano inspired drawing.

really great paper. i got a sketchbook at owajimaya that's got this really thin and extremely textured paper in it. it's pretty cool, i'm forced to draw really lightly so my strokes come out really whispy and light.


A page of my sketchbook from when my friend Vidar visited from Sweden. The pencil drawings are mine, the ink stuff is his. he's awesome

some more whateverness...


this was an all colored pencil drawing. i've never scanned a colored pencil drawing, so here's the story with this one. it's actually really lightly drawn, and all of the colors in the real piece have almost perfect harmony. some of the colors reacted differently to the light on my scanner for some reason, the orange on his face ended up looking purple, the yellow is ten times more visible than it is in the original drawing, and it just looks like mud. i'm not happy about that...

this was my entry for a Satellitesoda battle. we were supposed to do fanart of REYYY's awesome comic "Dead in the Now". I don't think I ever got around to posting it on the forum though. but basically it's me about to go at it with Braz, the main character. hence the "Faz vs Braz" at the top.

XXV. BIG NEWS!!!

I've just received news that the film I worked on will be showing in a few film festivals. a few of the scenes that I animated can actually be seen in the trailer. I'm pretty excited for this movie, it looks really good!!
tell me what you think!!

XXIV. A bit of optimism

So I'm sure I'm not the only person freaking out about the future of our country. I've been thinking a lot about what I should be trying to do with myself, with my art, where I want to be and all of that. But something just sparked a bit of inspiration in me. That being the current trends in American fashion (mainly new york) and it's successful reviews in recent publications. New york fashion designers have recently blown up and are now outshining European designers. Namely: Band of Outsiders, Rag and Bone, Guilded Age, Obedient Sons, and Duckie Brown. I think this is a good sign. If the clothing does as well in other countries as it is here, then it will do better for our economy because people from other countries will start buying our American goods!
All we need to do is shift the manufacturing to the U.S. and all will be good. So I've been thinking about trying to get into fashion. I have always been interested in fashion but didn't want to get into it because I felt morally obligated to try to do something with a bit more integrity than just make people look pretty. But now that I feel like this could be a good move to improve the state of our economy I'm thinking now's the best time to push myself toward a career rather than hang onto the job(s) that I have in the food service industry for fear of not being able to get another one.

That is all.
