DickFace: Night Train Cold

OKAY. So, this is one of the images I finished for my zine that will still be completed in one form or another within the next couple months. The basic premise is to do quick drawings without much planning or worrying about how perfect they turn out and to just get quick simple ideas out of my skull before they die and drown in my jelly brain. Whatever it's worth to ya.

And yeah. School is back on.




joy.

Tales of Woe! (aka My Life)

So last week I had this epic zine project plan in which I was was going to do 24 drawings in the span of 24 hours. Well, I woke up that day, and got two hours into my project WHEN...the repair men came to fix the furnace. Now they were both very nice fellows and I wouldn't say they were as annoying as fuck but...they were annoying as fuck. The moral of the story is that after the three hours they spent distracting me and fixing the heat (which is glorious) I attempted to get back on track but failed. So I got about 9 drawings into my project and was too disheartened and too behind in order to finish...SO I am going to break it up into segments, and complete the 24 images but Imma spread it out. So work is being done on that as well as a few other things that shall be illuminated internetly in the near future.
Also, school starts soon.
Ballsacks.

year end roundup part II: illustration.

Alrighty dighty, I know the end of the year is at an end but I had some shits come up so I wasn't able to get this all together in time. Do you really care? I should hope not. More to come soon...by more I mean end-of-year stuff...yeah.


This was an assignment from an illustration class I took last semester, the assignment was to illustrate seven birds: owl, flamingo, cardinal, penguin, ostrich, blue bird, and woodpecker. I created a series of 2-d cutouts with acrylic paint and mounted them in a 3-d set. The photographs didn't turn out quite as well as the actual set, but meh.
This was actually very similar to another project I did two years ago.



The following illustrations were from an assignment that was a series of 15 illustrations all done at 4x4". They were in sets of three, with five different types of media. Each one had to illustrate a single word that we were given.

PAINT!
"venus fly trap."

"kiwi."

"wrist watch."

PEN n' INK
"surgeon."

"astronaut."

"bear."

CUT CONSTRUCTION PAPER(one of these has been omitted from the series for SUCKING)
"stop light."

"owl."

COLOR'D PENCIL
"peach tree."

"milk."

"eel."

COLLAGE/cut out magazine images (TWO of these have been omitted for SUCKING/this method is hard/looks like shit)
"moped."

year end roundup part I: woodcuts.

“Sisyphus”, 12”x 16.5”, 2008

“orange door hinge”, 2 block woodcut, 4”x 5.5”, 2009



“aaargh” 2 block woodcut and collagraph, 5”x 7.5”, 2009

In my searching through my images and such, I have stumbled upon a number of prints I have either a] forgotten to upload b] are too embarrassing to post or c] have not been photographed (/completed to my satisfaction). Of the ones that fall into category a, here are a few woodcuts that I forgot to put up but aren't TOTAL shit. I mean they are pretty shit or I would have remembered to post them but you know...
Other end of the year posts to come shortly, 2010 will look a lot different, mainly because there will be a lot more in process shit/me griping about personal and work bullshit/etc.
ALSO. Etsy things should be up soon if I can stay on task and/or feel the necessity to deal with an arseload of trivial crap.

FOR THE EARLY BIRDS: more info about prints to come later today, too tired to deal with that shite at the moMENT.

like a stocking stuffed with coal.

Have a very robotic christmas y'all!

the UNDEAD! live!

okay not really. Just more old woodcuts. Meh. These are the last of the ones I did the past year...well, most of them. Anything else is either not worth seeing or will be updated later as part of other things. That sounds cryptic. Don't worry, it's not.

"woodcunts!" 7.5x7.5"
Done for an end of the school year print exchange. Mine was the best, of course.

"nom nom nom (editioned version)" woodcut with india ink wash, 10x16"

"enslave yourself!" 1 to 3 layer woodcut, 6x8.5"
printed on 30 7x10" pages torn out of a book on U.S. presidents.
first: one layer, second: three layers, third: two layers
everyone of these was slightly different as it comprised different background and different combinations of layers.

"robots > humans" 4 layer woodcut, bleed print, 13.5x20"
This one was inspired (in part) by the great Sean Star Wars' style of doing woodcuts, specifically the pickup. I attempted to use the rough sketching that he does but just couldn't get myself to do. I require planning. Oh, well. If you don't know him though, check him out, he's the fucking BOSS and a killer dude ta boot.
