Tuesday

Full view. charcoal and gouache in moleskine. I'm starting to enjoy this technique i've started messing with.
sat in Java's at RIT today for an hour or so and guerilla drew people.
was in crit and someone talked about a pig barreling through a city. so five minute bored boar doodle.

made a mess

Full view por favor!

Fiddlin with a new technique, if you wanna call it that. Made a charcoal mess. Then drew him in ebony pencil. Then threw some gouache on there. Hm.

It's a start. I wanna see what I can do with this in my free time!

4 x 8, in my moleskine.

CUTE ATTACK

EDIT: top pic there = more boys/cats.
ahhh! gouache cute animal attack! i've never really painted animals a lot, so I thought I'd mess around with it, no pencil underdrawings.

also.

MARU.
and i found cuteboyswithcats.tumblr and died. Seriously. Yes. Thank you, internet gods.

I changed a face here n there.

Been messing with this gouache/pen/ink style. Think it's gonna be my style for an editorial project this quarter.

Full view so you can see detail!!! :D

Pierce shop and sketches

so i needed to blow off some steam because the below painting wasn't going so hot. And this gouache ballerina happened. Oh and random sketchbook ramblings from a test i took this mornin'.
piece one. Jason of Primitive Impressions looking at a tongue barbel
Jason working on my friend Emma.

acrylic on illustration board. I'm not that pleased with the outcomes. I got pretty burnt out at the end of this crazy quarter.

Some gladiators, some pugs.

sad spartacus. gouache. no pencil underdrawings.
more sparty. gouache. no pencil underdrawings on these.
PUGS. again, just goin' for it. no pencil underdrawings.
doodling people at the mall. and a very distorted guitar.

Been watching Spartacus thanks to a certain person. Which means lots of opportunities to study (for artistic reasons only of course) naked people.

Been very busy lately- will have more pieces up soon.

Raja and Jordan

Still figuring out gouach!!! This is the beautiful Raja Aossey. I haven't seen her in a very long time (too long!), but she is one of those people who never fails to inspire me.
Aaand this character is Jordan Valdiviez, another person I haven't seen in awhile. He's completely awesome and always fun to hang out with.

I'll keep working with gouache. I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it, ever so slightly!!!

Yuri! and another.

having some fun with gouache tonight.

This is my friend Yuri Fukamati. If you do not know her, you are unfortunate. She is gorgeous inside as well as outside. I love this girl, and am going to miss her tons once we all graduate.

Seriously, she can always make you smile.
and this is just some dude i found in my gigantic stack of reference pictures... I think i got it off a Vice magazine shoot somewher ein the past.... I believe his name was Dash.

so yep. Registering for my last quarter at RIT in the morning. Cheers!

Fonzie's son.

whilst flipping through some old Paper magazines snagged from my lovely art director at reporter, I came across the adorable Max Winkler, son of Henry Winkler, better known as The Fonz. This guy... I just wanna hug him. Kiss him on the cheek. I bet he giggles.

ANYWAYS.

gouache, about 30 minutes in all, done between classes for fun.
and doodles during crit... That's my prof Chad Grohman, whom I drew as he was doing crit.

The rest is just mind farting and notes. Yeh, claddaugh trolls. Okay. I need sleep?

Off to a piercing salon to take reference of the awesome Jason at Primitive Impressions for my next visual essay series. Can't wait.

Minotaurs and hipsters

bull headed.

Double post tonight, folks! Got going with gouache. I have so many sketches I want to paint up but i have to study for a test tomorrow and print some business cards. Oh, and schedule my final quarter at RIT.

Gouache stuff!!!

That skull's probably going to be my header for my business cards, etc. Header. heh. geddit?
