Another All-Nighter

So I'm working on finals for my computer graphics class and I've finished four out of sixteen spot illustrations that will be in a booklet due in two weeks...my eyes are burning a little from staring at a computer screen for WAY too long. The pictures themselves are coming along pretty quickly, but I am running out of steam (and energy drinks) at the moment, so I might call it a night (maybe not), but I figured I'd post these before passing out.

The Saga Continues...

So the squares are coming along steadily as the semester quickly reaches it's end, and I'm really impressed by how much I've been able to make given my busy schedule . I laid them out yesterday and it was so fucking cool to see entire tabletop decked out in a blanket of little swatch illustrations. It's times like that where I wish there was a digital camera in reach to make snaps and show off a little... But lamenting aside, I've got a few more squares to share:







Speaking of things that should be documented with photograpy, I've also been working on some more promo books featuring some work from the square project, and a few past and recent works. One of the recent illustrations is a flyer that I made for my awesome brothers in arms for a benefit dance party coming up in May. I spent some crazy hours drawing out the initial linework, and even more time coloring it digitally. The effort paid off and resulted in a fresh ass piece of advertising for the Rozelle Artists Guild.

Here's the black and white:



And the color:



If I ever get my hands on a camera, I will (hopefully) be able to post some pics of some of handiwork that deserves photo documentation...

A Few More Squares and a Racy Comic Page

So I was eating at Pho Hoa Binh ( a local Asian eatery in Memphis) yesterday and happened to have my drawing supplies with me, so I drew a couple more squares to kill some time while letting the assload of starch and tofu digest. I don't know why, but I thought of the gradual development of infants from fertilized egg cells, and it turned into a nice drawing that I figured I'd post:



Aside from the squares and a few other homework assignments that I should be working on, I'm also working a personal comic project that will feature a number of quick stories that range from to incredibly obscure to nail-bitingly intimate. I'm working on a short story that falls into the latter category and right now I have a page that I worked on the other day:



It's a little weird making a narrative about this type of subject matter and I was wondering if maybe I idealized my physique just a bit... But at any rate, I'm really excited about this project and I'll be posting more on it.

More Squares! (and a few sketches)

So I've been a little negligent about the posting lately...sorry folks. But I managed to find some free time and happened to have had some fresh new squares on my person, so I figured I'd show them off. I've lost count of how many I've made to date, which is a good thing. They've been getting weirder to say the least and with each one, I feel as if I'm getting consistently better at the inking, which I figured would happen during the course of this project.

But anyway, here they are:





I've also got some sketches that have been sitting in my moleskine for a bit:
