Paper Streets Poster

A mock movie poster of a spoof style cop flick for a film class I'm taking.

"Paper Streets: Justice needs you to fill out these forms first."

Ink blot experiment

Scribble in black randomly, try and draw something using that as your base. 

I need some freaking sleep.

I suppose I should explain this series of self indulgent self portraits that I've been posting lately. For an art history course, we were told to create something that relates to the course.So I chose to do the Van Gogh method of creating a large number of completed images in a small period of time. He was known to do 3-4 completed pieces in a day, typically doing self portraits to save on model costs.

 Saturday I sat down at 7 am and worked till 11 pm with an hour break to eat and created 5 self portraits

that took into account a handful of the larger concerns of artists discussed in the period of

1850 - 1920 while not compromising my own aesthetics.  The concerns were

* The argument of line against color

*The simplification of objects to pure form

*The Dismissal of photographs and acceptance of it as a "painting"

*The Importance of capturing light

*The influx of Japanese culture/ art / ideals after the islands opened up trade with the world

                                          

Experiment

Cassatt Influenced Self Portrait

Self Portrait #2

Another bird.

Thin beak

No more silhouettes for awhile.

Time for nature sketches.

Figuring out Fish and Fowl.

Liar Liar

Continuous line turtle.

Not the best drawing in the world.

But there is something to be said,

about drawing directly with pen,

and never taking it off the page,

using only a single line,

to finish an image.

Squirrel, Bunny, Crab.

Messed up cheekbones.

Rucker Drawing

Polygonal face

Gawain and a Cup.

Bird Silhouettes

Fat Baby Space Explorer

A rough comp of a poster done for a Genre Study Class on Police Films.

"In a world where justice requires you to sign form 24b..."

Yeah, that probably won't be the tag line.

Week 13 + 14 Combo week.

Movie Posters, Self Portraits, Fat Babies, and Birds. Oh my!

Mermaid Fish Fillets! Delicious!

Matt Pickett's Punk Mermaid served up after being filleted. 

Mr. Hyde.

My take on Ryan's Mr. Hyde. 

The Monkey King

A geometric look at Matt Rucker's Monkey King from "Journey to the West."

The Tin Man's Axe.

A snippet of Jordan's Tin Man swinging his axe during a thunder storm.

Sleepy Demonic Owl

An attempt to make Janey's evil owl adorable.

Should have sold some more Matches.....

She wouldn't look so emaciated if she did her job.

A grotesque look at Aaron's Match Stick Girl.

7 minute doodle. 

Prufrock is Dead.

Everyone seems to be hopping on the bandwagon of drawing 

one another's characters. So, here is a look at Tiffany's

Prufrock after having drown to death at the end of her story.

Week 12

Fan art week of other people's characters. 

My name is Pennyworth.

I'm tired of thin, abstract lines and light monochromatic watercolors. Time for a change.

Turning Block.

Backfist

Transition

Hironori Ohtsuka Sensei

Sir Gawain of Camelot and Bercilack the Green Knight

Yep..he still looks like a cliched hero even when in a more realistic style.

Bercilack The Green Knight.

Week 11

Random drawings this week, not really anything that could be considered a theme.

Garden Gnome

Smelling

Listening.

It is an ear. They can't all be faces....

Self Portrait.

I can't afford to hire models and I don't really care for buying stock photos... so I end up doing alot of self portraits to study faces and what not.
