wed night scribbles

i don't know what this is or where it came from but i started scribbling and it happened.
I uh, don't usually paint this way.

i guess she's some version of Ophelia?

twenty minute scribble of some hipster emo guy. he had really blue eyes in the picture.they looked super weird in the painting so i darkened them. probably shouldn't have. but oh well.

digital.

3 days of 30

Hiya! So some RIT kids and I decided to do our own 30 characters in NOvember challenge and i was behind so here's the first three.

Also, check out the others at 30 day character challenge tumblr



yay digital cartoony scribbles.

Endings, beginnings, yep.

Hey y'all. I graduated! Got a BFA in Illustration with highest honors (3.81 gpa) from RIT! yayyy! and I get to start my new internship very soon. And move into a swag new apartment downtown in a couple weeks. and life... is hectic.. but amazing.

Today i spent the entire day in the Reporter office trying to help pull together the orientation issue. Simon Jones, Cassie Angerosa and her brother (an engineer who learned indesign in seconds) and I are blasting the Beatles and arting to death. We rock.

This ills are for that issue. I know I shouldn't technically post them until they're published, but dammit, that won't be for months, and by that time y'all will have forgotten about 'em. Or hey, early advertising.
This be the cover and a spot ill for something.


today i've busted out three ills in about 7 hours or so, minus breaks. I. am. tired.
ah well, signing a lease tomorrow.

It's been a wild, sad, happy, wonderful, horrible, overall intense ride, RIT. I will miss a lot of people. I hugged my profs before walking the stage and almost cried. Those guys become family after 3 years of creative growth. But since I'm staying here in Roch for a year, I don't feel as sad. I'll see them yet :)

Congrats to all my fellow grads, both under and post! <3

Ahrt Duhmp

final for the screaming mountains.
I had a lot of fun with this once I loosened up and took my prof's advice. Bob says, "jo, stop trying to paint. illustrate. have some fun with it!"
entry page for the above piece. Can't wait to see what Cristina does with the type. I'll show y'all once we're done. :)

doodled this for Brett's bday. I mean, who doesn't like hipsters licking young pussies?
more doodles. Uh, cut my hair and it's back to being rather fro-ish.
for a views piece in Reporter about kissin' cousins and incest in general.

Finished watchin the Man with No Name series. Had a quick cathartic good bad and ugly doodle.

All acrylic.

In news... Just got an AWESOME apartment with my med ill friend Alivia on Strathallan near the memorial art gallery and by park ave and all those awesome places downtown. You have NO idea how excited I am. Beautiful hardwood floors, LOTS of windows, built in bookcase... oh man oh man oh man can't wait to move in. gotta wait and couch crash for a couple weeks first though.

Hope all's well with yous guys!
