Summer Journal 2010

Accordian Book Spring 2010

My main sketchbook during my Japan study abroad. This same book was featured in my solo show in April.

(wallpaper sized! from sketches of Haiti earthquake aftermath photos)

Moleskin spring 2010

Here we have a few pages from one of my Japan sketchbooks. These aren't really all that great...but so nostalgic. Note the Japanese shrine architecture, key phrases, and a description of Japan that involves waking up in bed naked with a stolen bike. I recently scanned some choice pages from a few books so look out for more!

Twins

Here's a quickie, something I whipped up kind of specifically to submit to MICArotica, but also just because it was fun. I call them the Topknot Twins.

Digital Illustration update

a couple things for digital illustration. A still life of my tuscan chicken panini, and a few of the better speed-paintings I completed (totalling 100, phew. kind of a drag.)

I used PaintTool Sai for both of these, as well as the self portrait I did earlier. I love it, but I am looking forward to resuming use of photoshop.
