Wrappin' it up!

So I ended up with two more finished caricatures for my color works class. I decided to wrap up the project with two other musicians that really give me that dang ol' rockin' good feelin': Frank Zappa and Roger Waters. This project actually ended up being way more enjoyable than I thought, despite the agonizing hours I searched to find people that I don't normally see caricatured. I think Zappa and Waters are two that aren't done too much but obviously Bob Dylan gets drawn a lot. So, to quote Meatloaf, "Two out of three ain't bad". Enjoy! Or don't.

The master of suspense!

Senior Show, baby! And Lance!

The opening for my senior show is this Thursday, May 15th, from 6 to 8 PM at the ISB Gallery at RISD. It's a group show with my friends Katherine, Rory, Angela, Keith, Art and Stephanie.

This is the drawing I did for the poster:


Also, Keith and Art have this parody comic character, Lance Thunder. He rides on top of monster trucks. It's pretty great. We're each trying to do a tribute piece to put in the show. So here's mine:



Enjoy. Hope to see ya, Thursday!

Movie Poster!

17"x20" woodcut and ink

Recently I made a poster to promote my friend's short film. I still can't figure out if the colors desaturate when I put it on the web or if my monitor just dulls everything. Anyhoo, the movie is showing at the Senior Film Festival in the RISD auditorium this Thursday and Saturday. The whole festival runs from Wednesday to Saturday, starting at 7:00 each night. Everyone should go!!

Free Range

I have been given total freedom in what subject matter I choose to use for the final project in the color works class, so I decided to have some fun with caricature and try to experiment more with color and rely less on the lines. This past week I went with Bob Dylan, since I've never done a caricature of him and have always wanted to do. Now I have to come up with 2 more finished caricatures before next Monday and I have no idea who to do next. Bummer, dude.
