Monkey Island 2

Guybrush Threepwood and Elaine Marley from Monkey Island 2, though Guybrush looks a little more like Davey Crockett.

In Class Assignment

In class assignment on the day I forgot to bring my art supplies.

Doodles

Oh Lucy

Stamps

Illustration project: design new stamps. Jeff Goldblum seemed a more noble theme than those brave men and women who fought for WWII.

Art School

Herky

This has been a long time coming.

Cooking with Ramen

Illustration project - design a page from a recipe book.

I know what you're thinking and the answer is yes, I do take into account whether or not my two year old niece would enjoy these illustrations.

Empire - Final and Rough

This is the rough I did in Photoshop for the Empire State Building project. It was originally going to have figures in the foreground when this was going to be an attempt at a Dave McKean style. But the style that came out of it would've made the figures too much like clip art. So I scrapped them.



And the final illustration. It was cropped to 11x17 and windows were added to the buildings in the foreground.



If you've been paying attention to my past illustration projects, you can see how this caught some people off guard.

Lincoln Logged

Happy Halloween.

Historical Illustration

July 28th, 1945 a US bomber plane crashed into the side of the Empire State Building.

The Mask

Assignment from one of my comics classes: create a comic about an object (in this case, a mask) but reveal that the object isn't actually what we first perceive it to be. Just go with me on this.

Adult Themes

A musical just closed at the Illusion Theater about sex and cocaine abuse. A half hour into a show, an elderly gentleman exited the theater with a six year old girl and demanded to know where it said that this show contained adult themes. First of all, this show opens with a guy snorting cocaine at a funeral. The amount these two were exposed to before walking out is staggering. Then he asks where it says the show contains adult themes. I directed him to a postcard for the show, where it said that this show did indeed contain adult themes. That wasn't good enough for him. He wanted to know where in the program it had that warning. I pointed out the plot synopsis contained numerous references to sex and drugs. It ended with him telling me that he wasn't angry and took the little girl back into the theater to see the rest of the show.

Statistics

A few more illustrations concerning some random statistics.

Soda consumption is up.



Women can burn about the same calories while playing table tennis as they could downhill skiing.



The clitoris still has only 18 parts.

Suspicion and Rebellious

Class assignment from Illustration.

Tuckered out

Everyone at MCAD was exhausted today.

Hello and Welcome

Spider-Man

I used to do everything possible to avoid drawing hands and shied away from full body shots.

Claim Jumpin' Cletus

Looking for an honest opinion here. Preference of my pencils vs line art. Just curious.

They call him Ivan

Call me a fan

Final Version

I hated the giant face on the last one and I liked the blank screen, it was lacking something. So now I have a shadow, which is closer to my original idea. I still may need to do something.

Floppy Girl

My take on girls that insist on listening to vinyl who play video games.



"I only play floppy."

A quick doodle of Nancy Carlson after a few hours of looking through original manuscripts of children's books at the U of M. If only I could remember the name of our tour guide...



Et al

Proof that the boy is working.
