Semester finale!!!

So I just had my painting IV crit today. It went well, and all i have to say is...

I painted a big Dick.





Entitled "Dick Has Ways Of Making You Talk".

Comic book progress

It seems that with every stage of this darn thing, I realize how big of an undertaking this project has been and will continue to be. Granted I think I'm getting a little faster at laying out and drawing the pages. Still, its quite a labor intensive project.

Below is the first page and it's almost done. I just threw the text in to get a rough idea of what the completed page will look like. I've got to touch up the coloring a bit, then clean up some other areas.

Karzai illustration in progress part deux

Well here he is again. Its almost done. I thought I might throw it up here just for poops and giggles.

Karzai illustration in progress

I thought I'd toss up a couple of these digital paintings from the last couple days. The first is of our pal President Karzai of Afghanistan. The second was a 15 minute sketch from life drawing yesterday. I've got an open life drawing session tonight so expect more in the next day or two.

Some finished-ish work

Finished piece about gay marriage in Maine



This was an old drawing I did in life drawing that I started to digitize the other day. I've got a lot of tones roughed in, but there's a lot of work yet to be done ie. smoothing out her steroid induced abs.



I did my first all digital editorial cartoon. Yay for me for spending over an hour on something that would have taken me 5 minutes with a pen.



And finally a digital sketch of the lovely Sarah Palin.

Sketcheroo!

Here's a few sketches.



Just a caricature sketch of Melissa. I think I caught a little bit of a likeness, but I'm far from pleased with it. If she'll be patient enough, I'll give it another try sometime.





Sketches from open life drawing



This is a work in progress illustration in about Maine repealing it's gay marriage laws. What a bummer. This one is in pen and ink and watercolor.

Sketches: Al Gore and Luggage Thief

Here's a couple of sketches. The top one is of a man that was arrested for stealing luggage from the Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. After the police raided his home, over 1000 bags of luggage were found. Here's an article about it. Its pretty funny. Below that is a drawing of Al Gore. I've never really been a fan of him. He's kind of a money grubbing eco-whore. I think all of his investments in green technologies and other earth friendly stuff is great, but when he reaps massive profits from such companies, it really begs the question if his heart is in the right place. He's been lobbying for government support in green technologies, those that he's invested in, and thusly stands to make a substantial amount of money.
