100 Sunflower Thumbnails

Yet another Design project... 100 ways to draw a sunflower. A lot harder than it sounds.

Manny Coon

A piece dedicated to one of my favorite people in the world, Kids in the Hall's Scott Thompson; I gave a copy of this to the man himself when I saw him performing in Toronto a few weeks ago!

This is a portrait of the great Manny Coon, whose monologue is probably one of my favorite ways to spend five minutes out of the day.

Reactionary Collage

Another design project that I really liked doing; a 10x10 reactionary collage made out of magazine clippings.

Baby Accordion

So, this drawing was for my design class as well, and was supposed to be accompanied by a wire sculpture of the object we had chosen to draw... unfortunately, wire sculpting an accordion turned out to be way harder than I expected, but I'm still pretty happy with how my line drawing turned out.

The Clown Statue

    

  

I'm finally getting around to uploading some of my Design projects from last semester; this particular one was for an accordion book project based around Urban Legends. I got to do one of my favorite urban legends, the Clown Statue, which can be read here. I used thickly applied oil pastels for most of the backgrounds, along with Prismacolor pencils for the finer details.

Self Caricature #1

We're doing an exercise in my college's new Animation club involving drawing 5 caricatures of ourselves in 5 different, recognizable styles. So, here's my ugly mug imitating the style of primo artist Gary Baseman, who you might recognize as the mastermind behind the Cranium games and the series Teacher's Pet on the Disney channel.

I actually forget what an influence Teacher's Pet was on my tiny brain; I think I was one of about a dozen avid watchers when I was a kid. I think I came for Nathan Lane (I could listen to the man read a phonebook and be enthralled) and stayed for the fun, weird art style.

Though, upon further investigation, the rest of Baseman's art leans towards the, uh... well, let's just say childhood ruining.

A World that Swings

I was checking out some ancient drawings that I'd done on a website that shall not be named because you all probably know it, and stumbled across this beauty, done back in 2010 when I was first feeling out Photoshop, and decided that it needed a redraw because it was, you know, dreadful. So, enjoy my tiny 3 year leap of progress, for what it's worth
