beer is the best compliment to a cheeseburger and onion rings.

i draw onion rings because they're better than curly fries, but i prefer curly fries over french fries and crisscuts over curlies.

bernard gave me an excellent idea to draw my edc, and i thought i'd draw one everyday (if i can remember to). this is my first entry:

as edc may change now and then, the format and style of the drawings will, too.

"Untitled (Again)" 2010

2010-06-09T21:44:00.000-07:00

my submission for my school's annual student juried show. the art department selects a well-off juror who selects a number of pieces from 90+ entrees and picks out awards from school donors to these selected few. i was one of the lucky ones among 90+ people to be selected. i won the howards slatoff award for this diptych. the diptych is meant to be hung in a corner like so. it turned out great (aside from the typo on the title card: "Untilled (Again)"

these were drawn as i watched Blood+ (awesome anime), so these were basically inspired as i watched and listened.

Tell Me What To Draw (TMWTD)

2010-06-09T21:30:00.000-07:00

i can draw anything. if you think about it, you can too! this is a thing i started some weeks back when i was having a dry spell--it's called TMWTD. These are the first two i did. i have a couple more but i have to scan them.

my friend and fellow artist, tony h., told me to draw this. it is a satanic octopus holding torpedoes with his spiky tentacles. i'm surprised the torpedoes didn't blow up!

this girl emily told me to draw the follow:
nazi dinosaur
half-eaten cow
giant mutated maggots

make a crappy sketch and work on it some more later?
i did this sketch of some muscle dude and went in with a little more lines, hatching, used this drying orange highlighter to make some flame hair, and use this other drying lime highlighter to create a sort of 'glow" from the flame hair.

2009-08-24T23:44:00.000-07:00

my mom and dad playing spider solitaire together.

my crappy paintings for "free art show"

2009-05-30T11:58:00.000-07:00

junior/senior seminar class is having a 'free art show' and instructor told us to make some free street art crap. here's my crap:

didn't really try, just wanted to get ideas out that weren't really ideas out. i wouldn't feel bad giving these away because i don't like them very much.

i've bought some leftover prismacolors at aaron brothers before, but never a brand spankin' new box.
exciting:

made one too many peppers

2009-04-22T16:39:00.000-07:00

me and three other classmates made a submarine sandwich out of muslim fabric and i made 4 peppers. i guess i overdid it with the peppers because they gave me one back. outcome turned out well though (the sandwich).
so here you are, the pepper that wasn't picked... probably because it was the most plump pepper of the three.

Update: Striders

I think I'm in a lucha libre phase

2009-02-26T18:54:00.000-08:00

Today in figure drawing class, we had to transfer people from newspapers onto the same page with our model. The two male characters were from print-outs the teacher made. I then added my "flair"--turned the guy into a lucha libre, added sunglasses, mallet, tail, winged nikes, and wings (needs a little more work).
The same kind of criteria applies to our final project. No clue what I'll be doing, because I still need to get me a newspaper for sauce.

Art Projects

2009-02-24T10:33:00.000-08:00

So from about 7PM-4AM, I was working on these two. Wish I had more time:

The idea behind this was to copy Matthias Grunewald's "Crucifixion."
Would have added 2-3 more characters if I had more time, but I had to start on the second project below:

Theme to this was a person in a populated area. In this case, it's supposed to be the luchador guy. I don't know if this works, but whatever.
