Have Ewe Any Wool?

Much apologies for lack of posts lately, been super busy. Finally finished with my first year at Ringling. This was my final illustration for Intro (previously posted value sketch). Best in the class. Enjoy!

I'll be making up for lack of posts with loads of new art, and new posts contantly.
Stay tuned.

righteous sketchbook action

Today was pretty amazing, if I do say so. Had my second to last into to ill class with golden-boy Brandes, then had some gnarly sketchbook-age and a great cup of tea at Pastry Art downtown Srq, then went to the Senior Illustration Exhibition on campus. SO RAD! I collected so many postcards and business cards, and salivated over all the work. I cant wait to be there one day, i will be there one day. So all in all, a very inspiring and creative day.

Sketch above is a little ditty of my roommate Alex Shear

Till next time....

figures

Had my last figure class of my Freshman year today, sad to see it go, but am looking forward to what next year has in store for me. These are two portraits from earlier in the semester of Carl. enjoy

sketchbook part deux

a little zombie action for you. The zombie duel is a rough sketch for a soon-to-be painting, just for fun.

Latest and greatest illustration. Based on Baba Black Sheep. Tight sketch stage, next we paint. Pardon the terribly uneven lighting.

Best of CORE 2008

In observational color we did a colored light assignment, learning about the way adding colored light affects the surface areas of any subject/object. Pretty groovy stuff. These two little ditties got into the Best of CORE 2008, showcasing the best works from the freshman (2011) class.
