Bodybuilders are scary




Equally as scary, but infinitely shinier and prettier to look at would be The Kawah Ijen sulphur mines by night.

I showed them to a coworker of mine and we just acknowledged that we were "both gonna have a shitton of blue and orange dramatically lit fire paintings and not resent each other for it? o ______o"

Protip for google image search: Sulphur? Yes. Bodybuilders?... Not so much.

Appendage Portrait (prelim)

Sketched on a bit of gessoboard, with the intent of doing some acrylic painting. The lady beckons with the promise of a chance to use flourescents.





The fella I'm not so sure on, due to his unabashed animetastic ridiculousness. Might make him digital.

Safari Saturday



My dog, Juno.

She is cute.

Also, quite dark.

And she never did get the hang of sitting properly.

However, this leads back to the original point: cute.

Free B*tch Friday



That's right, I listen to Lady Gaga on occasion. COME AT ME.

Theory Thursday



"Theory Thursday" is, in theory, about practicing architectural and spatial rendering. In practice, this week, it was about coughing up a scarf doodle later that night because my lunch break got interrupted.

Gods of Wednesday



"Take one virgin. Call me in the morning."

Ver. 2.0

For a myriad of reasons, few of them good, keeping up with this tomfoolery of a sketchblog has been an unmitigated disaster.

Among the newfound endeavors I'm a part of, I joined the team at Mindwave Comics. I'm slated to be the artist on their new title, "Totem", which promises to be chock full of white-supremacist-punching goodness.

First assignment was creating a quick portrait for the bio page, which appears edited on their site to try and tie it in more with the "Totem" project.



I dunno, I like the silliness of this one. Also, I think Dave (co-editor of Mindwave, and a towering linebacker of a bearhugger) airbrushed me to be paler on the site's version as a joke. Y'know, as you do.

Trying to have a public presence and personal brand on the internet while having social anxiety that ranges from moderate to crippling is a bit ...ineffectual. However, that second part has abated greatly since The Great Ash Pile of January 2010, and as such with a keener eye towards structure and studies, it looks like high time I gave it another try.

Here's to all the best!
