30x30, acrylic and oil on canvas

Pardon the horrendous photo.

This is me attempting to combine my comic based work with my paintings. i.e. me trying to avoid painting real things.

...and why I'm against it. (Preview)

This is a series based on various causes that only have one side. For example, no one is actually pro-AIDS or cancer. The concept behind this is to make a series of completely inflammatory and ignorant statements that turn these causes into a negative.

I didn't really word that properly. Hopefully you'll get it when you see them.

Title: AIDS... and why I'm against it.

Title: Domestic violence... and why I'm against it.

Title: Infant loss... and why I'm against it.

Animation

7 frames of mediocrity.

A Dashing Face

The beginnings of another wonderful painting.

30x40ish. I probably should measure the stupid thing.

Pripyat Pigmen

Consider this a "reveal" for the pigman and the final page of the comic.

Pripyat Comic

Considering this is all in poorly translated Russian I'll give a bit of back story. It takes place outside of Chernobyl in an abandoned warehouse where someone from the Russian government and a soldier find a mutated pig man. Ta-da.

I redrew parts of this several times to try and have it make more sense. Ultimately I'm disappointed with it.

Painting Critique

This is the culmination of my semester in Painting III. No need to say anything, I already know that I'm a genius.

Western Comic

These are the first three pages of a Western comic I'm workin' on. I didn't really bother to clean them up. I'll get to that in the final version once everything has been drawn.

The accent in the first page is really overdone. I'm going to change that as well. I've also got other edits that I'm going to make. I didn't actually look at this thing until I scanned it. Dur.

Fries

Two of my friends bothered me literally for years to make a Batman fan comic. Last year I drew this. I hope you're ready for some Batman related melodrama. Also it probably won't make sense if you're not familiar with Mr. Freeze or his wife.

Also my good friend, the talented and lovely Mr. Sango Imai-Hall, made a phenomenal cover for this comic.

Beard Cover

This is the front cover of the previously mentioned collection of beard comics.



"Fúzy" means "beard" in Slovak.

Beard Comic

A group of cartoonists, including myself, got together and decided to create a book about beards. This is my contribution to that book.

Originally I had intended to do a murder mystery with a Eastern European detective coming to the U.S. on the trail of a serial killer. Unfortunately I had to limit the number of pages I contributed which would have been impossible for that particular comic. At the last minute I came up with this instead.

Paintings

Some paintings from the past few months.

A Handsome Boy In Repose - 30 x 40 - Oil paint

A gay pride thing...? That wasn't my intent but that's how most people took it.

Nose - 18 x 24 - Oil paint

Something To Hang Your Hat On - 12 x 48(?) - Acrylic and wooden posts

I turned an old phrase into a painting/hat rack... I'm so clever.

Listen Closely - 60 x 60 - Acrylic, ink, and sound

If you press the button a fart sound is produced. I'm so avant-garde.
