After a couple more hours of work.....

Working on the zombies for my English teacher. He said he would get my copy of Coraline signed by the author if I drew him some zombies. This is the first one I've gotten anywhere with. I was going to try sketching some until I remembered photoshop. I still should sketch some though. Any suggestions?

City Fish

Fishies!

Graffiti App on Facebook

This was done a couple months ago, but I just figured out how to share it :)

Abstract Painting

I was sitting in class one day when I suddenly had a great desire to make another one of these paintings. I had made one similiar to this in my sophmore year in high school and my teacher chewed it apart. I was kinda sad because it was one of my favorites I did that year. This painting is about 8x10. I used yellow and green yarn, elmers glue and acrylic. The black is elmers glue with india ink mixed in. ** It isn't supposed to be anything. I wasn't thinking of anything when I made the work. Yes, it is completely random, I only focused on composition.

Digital Imaging

Drafts for my digital imaging class. We had to read an article and make an illustration for it. The article I read was a speech given by Hitler (excerpt at the bottom of the post).
Final illustration done in Adobe Illustrator with blending done in photoshop


The article I chose is a speech written by Hitler for the inauguration of the Munich Expedition 1937 of pieces that Hitler didn't think were art. I chose two paragraphs from the speech to do base my illustration on.

"I have observed among the pictures submitted here, quite a few paintings which make one actually come to the conclusion that they eye shows things differently to certain human beings than the way they really are, that is, that there really are men who see the present population of our nation only as rotten cretins; who, on principle, see meadows blue, skies green, clouds sulphur yellow, and so on, or, as they say, experience them as such. I do not want to enter into an argument here about the question of whether the persons concerned really do or do not see or feel in such a way; but, in the name of the German people, I want to forbid these pitiful misfortunates who quite obviously suffer from an eye disease, to try vehemently to foist these products of their misinterpretation upon the age we live in, or even to wish to present them as 'Art'.

No, here there are only two possibilities: Either these so-called 'artists' really see things this way and therefore believe in what they depict; then we would have to examine their eyesight-deformation to see if it is the product of a mechanical failure or of inheritance. In the first case, these unfortunates can only be pitied; in the second case, they would be the object of great interset to the Ministry of Interior of the Reich which would then have to take up the question of whether further inheritance of such gruesome malfunctioning of the eyes cannot atleast be checked. If, on the other hand, they themselves do not believe in the reality of such impressions but try to harass the nation with this humbug for other reasons, then such an attempt falls within the jurisdiction of hte penal law."

Gum Wrappers

Hey dad, remember all those gum wrappers you've been sending me? I've been using them to make ART!

Sketchbook

Attempt at drawing my friend Nick while he was doodling. I've never seen such a bad scan before sorry :(

I went and drew the ROTC while they were meeting. This is a sketch I got out of it.

During Stake Conference I was bored :S and I liked this woman's profile. I don't know her, but when my mom took my sketchbook and showed some people they recognized her :)
I finished a drawing project early in class one day and so I drew this to fill the time.

Mini Sketchbook

Mad eye eh? Done while bored in classes :P I don't remember what I was mad at... probably the boring classes!

Done over last summer but I wanted to put it in the blog cuz I think it's cool.
Also done over the summer when I was bored in the airport. It'd be hard to read it on the computer but have fun if you try. I was rambling because we were stuck there so long.
