Sweet Tooth

Sweet Tooth. It's kind of cute.

Dress

2009-09-28T01:16:00.000-07:00

So I am taking a class called The Figure. It's all figure drawing, but our final is to create an article of clothing made from some sort of unconventional material. Very Project Runway. So I got all these coffee filters, opened them up, then watercolored them. I need to do about twice as much and then I will have enough to make a skirt. This is what I have so far.

I needed reference for my creature in my thesis. There was no way of finding one...so I sculpted one. Here it is.

Wonder Woman Day

2009-09-24T09:11:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone. I have a piece in a First Thursday show coming up. Come check it out!

Wonder Woman

2009-09-11T15:20:00.001-07:00

So here it is. I think it is done...but I might change my mind and add some finishing touches.

More progress

2009-08-28T15:42:00.001-07:00

I hope I can finish it in time. Here is more progress.

Wonder Woman Work in Progress

2009-08-26T18:02:00.001-07:00

This is how far I am on my Wonder Woman day entry. It's coming a long...

Creatures

2009-08-24T19:42:00.000-07:00

So in The Tempest, these strange creatures come out of the woods. I took that literally and I have some creatures who are more stick based and ones who come from the water. Here are some early ideas.

More Ariel

Thesis sketches

2009-08-24T19:36:00.000-07:00

I've been focusing on the character of Ariel. Men have played the character, women have played the character. In the play Ariel is a tree, a person and a harpy. All of this to me suggests shapeshifting and the gender of the role being different depending on the production supports that in my eyes. Well, I have yet to design Ariel as a woman but here are a few sketches of Ariel as male, a harpy and a child. I like the idea of Ariel appearing as a child. I think it's creepy.

Robopocalypse Coloring Book Cover

2009-07-06T19:15:00.000-07:00

So I just finished the cover for the newest project from the Robopocalypse. It's a coloring book about robots and kids. It's simple but I like it.

Romeo + Juliet?

2009-04-02T20:03:00.001-07:00

I wanted to do an illustration of Romeo and Juliet as a werewolf and a vampire. It needs some work. The dress is clearly stolen from a certain friend.
