More Digital Photos

More experiments and what not with the digital camera . . . enjoy.

Recent Sketches

I bought a new sketchbook over x-mas break and have been trying to draw as much as possible. A few of the drawings were done at Gage Academy's Drawing Jam. If you're local and love to draw or just want to experience a wild 10 hour artistic orgy then go to the next drawing jam. You won't be disappointed.

Still Film

I was recently cast by one of my students to act in a "still" film. My role was that of a strict, no nonsense disciplinarian professor . . . can you say typecast! I've included a couple of stills from the film for your viewing pleasure.

Color Sketch

This started out as a fairly loose and quick color sketch of Pigeon. I think I may have spent a little more time than I wanted to on it - in total about 2 hours. I didn't want to kill the freshness, looseness - spontaneity of it and I wanted to work in complements - I think I succeeded. Enjoy!

Finished Batman Pieces

Finally finished these pieces. Again, they were done with sumi ink and gesso on craft paper. I'm happy with these images and with these materials but in the future I might mount the craft paper to a board/wood because the paper really wrinkles with the addition of the water based mediums.

August . . .

Wow. Haven't posted in a while. My family visited in early August. Here are some pics I took during their visit.

Older Work

Came across some older files of work that I'm still fond of. Thought I would share. Enjoy.

Voudou

I forgot how much fun blending modes were in Photoshop . . .

George Bush Dookie

Yes . . . George Bush Dookie. I came across this on a walk through Capitol Hill. Wow! I had to take a picture! Enjoy, I think.

Gage Academy Student Show

This past Friday I went to the Gage Academy Student Exhibition with Seattle celebrity and art model extrodinaire Pigeon as well as my two illustrious colleagues Alecia Rossano and Peter Moerhle. Gage's philosophy of art education is based on the classic atelier system which had it's heyday in France during the 1800's before it was usurped by Impressionism. The atelier system never quite died; pockets of this educational system remain and are firmly entrenched, especially here in Seattle.

Parasite Pals

I forgot to post this . . . I took this pic a ways back while I was doing the Production assistant gig in the Childrens Hospital. Weird.
