Something...

2009-03-24T17:57:00.003-04:00

I bought the new OhGr album yesterday and was sketching while listening to it. Nivek has always pushed the envelope of industrial to a new and interesting edges. This new album, The Devil in my Details is tasty, reminiscent of Too Dark Park. At any rate, this is what came out while listening to it, colorful and obnoxious...

Wardrobe Change

2009-02-27T00:31:00.002-05:00

I'm feeling more than a bit cooped up nearing the end of my deployment. I figured that I would take my spare moments and refresh my cave's furnishings. I'm still tweaking towards a design that pleases me so g-shtält is still in flux. My links need pruning too...

I find that the absurdity in my pictures is inversely proportional to the square root of my happiness.

To the Mortuary

2008-07-18T02:00:00.002-04:00

This might seem non sequitur but I assure you that this was actually inspired from real life. I think that the whole one or two readers that I might have know that I am in the military and I am currently deployed for OIF. Well, being deployed, we often receive care packages; boxes that contain toiletries, snacks, coffee and other small items that provide serendipity. Some times kids send us things like cards or pictures that were made presumably in school, all being very touching. Well, ocassionally, there seems to be a lack of oversight as to what these children write in or do with these things. This image is based off of just one of those items. This one happens to be a roughly-cut, hexagonal shaped card. On it is pasted an orange foam lobster and written,

"To The miutaery," on the outside and on the inside, "Thack you for prteing the. U.S.A."

It is below me to even comment of the state of the American school system... Regardless, the way that "miutaery" is written, it looks more like it says "mortuary" than "military". I was so damn offended that all I could do is laugh and redo the little tike's work. I appreciate that people support us while we do what it is we do. One thing I ask though, is don't have idiot children send us crap when they don't have the capacity to give a rat's ass what they send.

Just a little fun in Illustrator.

More doodles

2008-06-02T01:28:00.001-04:00

Another doodle brought about by experimentation with color and texture. I think about the only things I like about this is the mystical pink crap in the background and his upper lip.

Another Work in Progress

2008-05-29T16:09:00.001-04:00

I have most of this except for the color scheme figured out. I'm not sure if I want to go with a monochromatic night-hue of blue or if I want to introduce different colors. I'll play with it a bit and I will post it soon enough.

I was going to figure out how much Pascals this badboy would exert were it real but the equations are too interconnected for me to to put forth the effort. >:P

The discomfort is hopefully temporary

2007-09-04T03:32:00.000-04:00

Made for IFN.

2007-04-06T23:53:00.000-04:00

What a coincidence that I am working on something that fits this week's topic at IF. This is a censored work in progress that I am currently drawing. For those who can tolerate a bit of nudity, here is the full size image or you can jump to my blog's main page.

Graphic Design Class Work

2005-10-25T20:15:00.000-04:00

These are two designs I did for class. Both of them are real subjects. Android Lust, is a cold, skratchy-voiced industrial group with a real smooth sound. Joseph Stella was a Futurist whose work is breathtaking. You should google them both if you knew what was good for you.
