Goodbye!

I'm off to Iceland tomorrow! Will not be posting while I'm there (2 weeks). Unless I find some fjordian wifi...

Maira Kalman feature for the New York Times.

I really love this woman's work... it embodies a lot of the ideas I find interesting. Hopefully one day I will be able to incorporate more of that sense of chance and process into my "finished" work.

What's more hilarious than a gradient?

Foxy

For some reason, drawing this fox reminded me of my old videogame days.

I worked at Bioware in Edmonton, Alberta for a few years after graduating from art school. The project was "Jade Empire", which was a kung fu adventure set in fantasy-ish Ancient China. There were lots of animal spirits, including a fox demon which sparked the memory. I did mostly character stuff (texturing and modelling), including, but not exclusive to:

Hot Babes:


Love Interests (also hot, natch):


Manly Men:


and Innumerable weapons, environment textures, and faceless henchmen:


Couldn't find a pic of the fox lady though. She had furry boobs!

Black Study

Adventures in Black

I try not to be wimpy about the application of black. It's something I try to practice often. I think a lot of students are quite hesitant to use black since it's quite a commitment, especially if you're using pen and ink.

Although, I'm certainly no Mike Mignola (obvs).

Down with Summer

So it was rainy yesterday and somewhat chillier today! I kind of hate summer–Summertime here in NY is too hot and too long– so this is welcome news.

Sept 7

My sister Lauren is here visiting NY. But she forgot her camera yesterday. So we drew the day. Hopefully you can read it; click for larger view.
