First projects of the year twenty-ten~!
I still feel like I'm in that weird art phunk where anything I do just looks bad even though people say it's good. I know they're lying to me. :/

Self Portrait for Adv Comp illa. In the end I never found out what the correct dimensions where and instead found another senior portrait on someone's blog and just copied his dimension, ha ha. Clooose enough, right? Right.



Illa assignment of Father time and baby new year. When I started this assignment I was like No and then when I finished I was like No...... :[ B.N.Y got dem baby Louis Vuitton.

Trust me kid.

Eeeehhhhmmmm.... I don't really like the result of this one.
But I feel like uploading so I'll put it up anyways.

This was our final fall semester project for IL and it was to do a 5 panel sequential illustration with a twist at the end. Being the nerd that I am, I did mine about a a lonely guy that's out of love so he buys a cute dog.... to pick up chicks, but his plan backfires. :I

Anything goes

I thought I'd post one of my finished work that I did in my graphic novel class with George Pratt. I learned a lot and watched a lot of awesome movies, haha, even though my comics were aight.

This is a story I made up based on photograph references. Every panel I drew from a reference by Walker Evans, Bill Brandt, Moriyami and a few others. Really challenging but I think the story was pretty successful... I finished the ending at three in the morning so don't ask :I

3 Piggs Project

Group assignment for comp ill, we had to take the story of the three little pigs and change it however we want it. So a team member came up with the idea of three crazy sisters and suitor who gets "blown" away by them. The characters were designed by the same teammate that came up with the story, so this it the "movie poster". The characters were very interesting and fun to draw. In the critique I was told to give the characters more personality, which means I have to redraw everything. If I ever have time, which is unlikely, I'll fix it up.

Done in PS CS3

Mapping the Soul

Lyric illustration assignment, based conceptually (though I'm not too sure this is conceptual...?) off of the song Map the Soul by Epik High. A lot of problems needs a lot of fixing which I'll do later.
