"Joni's in the tall grass

She's a beautiful mental jukebox

A sailboat explosion

A snap of electric whipcrack....

She's not thinking about the future

She's not spinning her wheels

She doesn't think at all about the past

She's thinking long and hard about that wild sound

And wondering

Will it last???"

-hey joni, sonic youth

spaceman!

Not feeling very good tonight, heart's acting up and making my arm go all numb.

But it's the left arm, and i'm right handed (currently) so I did a quick photoshop doodle of a space dude I'd doodled in my sketchbook earlier in the week.

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.

Cockpit

For the children's book I'm working on in Book Illustration with Chad Grohman.

This is the cockpit of a P-51d north american Mustang. Sexy plane.

Piece is... 6x9 inches on hp ill board....

Gouache. Some pen. Touch o' acrylic.

This was one heck of a challenge for me.

Might do a portrait now rather than brave the -4 degree weather outside... if I do I'll add it onto this post.
