My first piece out of RISD

I'm just so excited, posted this to my own blog and website as well. This is an ink drawing with digital color, sort of revisited on and off this week.


Have I mentioned my love for color-filled line lately? And pink?


Oh, and don't worry, I've been knitting, too.

My last piece at RISD

This is my last piece for Mary Jane's portfolio class that is about the news and its amazing ability to take any story and make it into a novel or two hour long t.v. special. I think the scan of it is a little weird so sorry if there are parts of the image that look faded or brighter than they should be.

Gradumication!

Oh, and I don't think I posted these... but here are the Wolverine: Netsuke piece and the Dune piece I did, awaiting acrylics.

The Magnificent Brothers Bendoverinkov

My latest animation (ah•nee•meh•SHAUGH). Please, enjoy.

Orphan Works Bill

I figured I'd put the link up with the e-mail you can send to your Senators about opposing the Orphan Works Bill for anyone that hasn't yet.

Also, here's the interview with Brad Holland for anyone that hasn't heard it:

More Whales

I reworked the Record Keeping piece. SooJin wanted happier whales, personally if I was a whale I would probably harpoon myself, but it was still a fun piece to do.
For the drawing this time I used a trace monotype technique that Jing showed me. I was able to get some cool texture with it. I think I might try some more of it.

Anyways, Graduation is comming up so I'll probably be seeing all of you at the bars.

PEACE,

Lance Thunder hits primetime

So the Lance Thunder piece I did ( see my previous post) ended up being shown to someone who works on the TV Show Dirty Sexy Money for ABC (friend showed it to a friend who showed it to a friend). Apparently they needed a comic for an episode they were filming where Donald Sutherland's kid has a comic. So, they asked if they could use Lance. I doublechecked with Keith and we went ahead with it. Of course it needed to be colored so I asked a few different people if they could take swings at it. It was the last week of classes here so I was shocked anyone signed up for it, but my friends Chris McInerney and Erica Henderson both did some sweet coloring on it.

The producers ended up choosing Erica's version cause they felt it had a more "old-timey" feel they were going for.

Here is Erica's. She's graduating from the FAV department here at RISD. You can check out her blog at: http://failatlife.blogspot.com





And here is Chris's version. He graduated two years ago from the Illustration department and is currently teaching art in Maine. His blog can be found here: http://skizzenblok.blogspot.com
