Website!

So I finally got my website up and running. There still some problems but I think I did a pretty good job. 

Check it out!

Phantom Menageire

 

See this in a show coming up on November 8th at Pehrspace

Lots of talented people.

Lost

Mixed media diorama I sculpted and put together with Sawyer and the polar bear.

Why is there a polar bear in Lost again?

Overhaul

Some t-shirts painted for a brother

Crazy 4 Cult

So I realized that I never really posted anything about the Crazy 4 Cult show. Thank you everyone who went. 

Bernie

Bernie is the third doll/puppet this summer. I think he is the best of the bunch. I knit his sweater with  a little hunch back so he is leaning forward a bit. Who stands up straight these days anyways. 

Summer

Summer has gotten the best of me, or maybe work has. Here is what has become of me. I got an underwater camera and a typewriter only small amounts of time on the weekends to use them.

New Friends

My kitten inspects a duplicate. Another doll I made. A knit sweater, felt pants and sculpted face and parts. I made this being side tracked from my big painting. We all need a day off I guess.

Sleeping Susan

Nothing is better than an orange turtleneck. I knit the hat an sweater and sculpted the hands, feet and face. 

Flash Snoot

This is a bad picture. However, I really don't like my digital flash, so I took built a cardboard grid for it to soften it up and give it more direction.  

Strobist

The Scientist #295

Morgan showed me this funny site where there are over 700 hobo names that need illustrations. So why not?

From Grass to Gas

Digital illustration about the transformation of switch grass to ethanol. 

Birds and Yarn

"Waiting" Arcylic with some 3d. Inspired by the Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
"Drown" Acrylic, felt and knitting. I did a little experimentation with adding the knitting. I think it turned out well. 

Unicorn Madlib

Little books I made on the letter press with linoleum blocks. An small edition of 13 all hand bound by me, personally. 6 pages of fill in madlib fun.

More Book

A hardcover I bound with watercolor paper. I think this my favorite. The green bookcloth shimmers orange.

For some reason my pictures are not loading on my posts.

One of my goals this summer is to go see lots of photobooths that still print on film. You can find them all at photobooth.net. There is a lot in the area. 

Books

One of the many hardcover books I have made this year. This one it not cut that nice but if fits a polariod perfectly. I am still sad they are discontinuing film. 

Sketch Book

A bit to share from my sketchbook. I hope I can fill up some good pages and find time to post them. These are all pages from when I was in Switzerland for the summer.

Older Paintings

A series of paintings that I did Sophmore year about the "Otis Experience"

They are all part colored pencil and acrylic.

Swimming

A Photoshop painting. 

Swimming in the sky. 

It is still a work in progress but I am getting there.

The comp sketch

Trashed

Who knew that old plastic bags can actually be useful? So I "fused" together some old bags and got a new bag. Aardvarks and Panda Express. Its pretty easy, Try it. Right Here

Year of the Rat

Something we did quickly in class. A little bit of acrylic and colored pencil

Back to the Future

Oh Marty Mcfly.... a painting for the Crazy for Cult show at Gallery 1988 in August
