"An empty mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."

I stand corrected; here it is, my last, and most mediocre, free text friday (for this semester, anyway).

Two points of note: (1) This is the first thing I've ever drawn with my tablet, so the learning curve was a bit high. And (2), why am I even doing this? Aren't I the Vice President of Illustration, or something!!!!!1!1!!!11!!!1!

I believe that it's safe to say that this is the most mediocre thing I've ever done.

Hello again. Here are some self-portraits I did for my Digital Media final project. The first was done all in Illustrator, the second all in Photoshop, and the last two are a combination of the two. Please enjoy my face.

Hello folks. Here are the final images (not the best of images) of some of the many sketches I've been showing you this semester.

Each four of these are 12'x24' relief block prints.

Hello folks. Here's my latest illustration assignment, a book! Our collective illustration classes have been charged with illustrating four pages depicting our first and/or worst jobs. We will then be collection all of our stories, and publishing them in a big collective book, much like that of "Blab!" from Fantagraphics. This is all 12"x12", paint marker on frosted-mylar, inspired by block prints (I would have done them as block prints, but I wasn't too pleased with how the prints came out, so I went over and did it all again in paint marker, using the prints as templates).

The final book will be printed at 7"x7" HERE.
