Single line squiggles


Done in pen using one continuous line while in my english class

Detail of above picture.


Done while I worked at Western Wats call center. The whole thing is done with one line that doesn't intersect or touch. When I needed to switch colors, I continued on the same line. To define the shapes, I colored over it with colored pencil.

Sketchbook update


Helping my friend time monologues at the Shakespeare festival, I liked the judges profile a lot so I sketched it. When the monologue was done, my friend told me I looked like a creeper, staring at the judge. Oh well, I got my drawing so I'm :)


Done in the car with a friend over the course of a few days. Done in pen, free-handed. Super random, I know. Paisley inspired.


Penguins dream too! This is how I imagine a penguin's dream would look. Done in pen on paper.


Sketching on an airplane while by myself (scared to death). Random dude I made up. The woman next to me was so impressed by watching me draw him that she wanted to "inspect" my drawing when I was finished. She held my sketchbook up to her face for almost five minutes before slamming it back down on my tray table and pronouncing loudly that I was an amazing artist and she was proud to sit next to me. Thoroughly embarrassed, I didn't draw for the rest of the trip, but she and I had some good conversations for the remainder of the three hour plane ride.


Sketch drawn while sitting in my friend Squirrel's room. This is the resulting drawing. I also did a photoshopped colored copy of it as a gift for him, but I can't find it right now. I'll post it when I can :)


Initial sketches done in my English class. My prof saw them and liked them so much he commissioned the Zombie picture shown in a previous entry. Instead I gave him that picture because he got my copy of Coraline signed by Neil Gaiman. SO happy :)


My friend Phil loves his cat. This picture was done for fun based off his facebook profile picture.

My thoughts on Web 2.0



I'm sitting in my CSIS class at 10:40 am. My assignment is to write something about Web 2.0 and post it to my blog. Everyone else had to create their own blog for this assignment, but I'm using one I already have.

Web 2.0 is the second wave of web use where regular people, not corporations or companies, wanted to start making their own websites to talk about whatever they want. It all started in 2003, and it changed the way people interact online. Blogs came into being. They are more about content, than presentation. They are no longer about reading the website, but about writing in one. They care less about the "corporate message" and more about "my message."

Art Famine

It looks like I haven't done any artwork for a while, but that's only partly true. I just haven't taken pictures or scanned anything that I've done in a while. I am back in school now so the pieces will start flowing a lot faster. Feel free to bug me about posting more often on facebook or comments on this post. Thanks for keeping up with my stuff!

Commission #1

Painting for Scott Jackson

Mixed Media: Acrylic, Elmers glue, India ink, yarn. I used a fork, feathers and masking tape to make some of the marks in this piece. The yarn is covered in elmers glue mixed with India ink.

Please let me know if you would like any paintings. I'm starting to play around with different designs and textures.

Dancing Flamingo


Collaboration piece with Jim Perry. I did the original drawing and he painted it.

My original sketch.

Cellphone Pictures

Preston Smith at a campfire, taken on my cell phone :P

I love accidents like this. I moved my camera too quickly and voila! C'est moi!
