Disapproving Moon

There are nights when I get bored and do absolutely nothing. Then there are nights when I get bored and something dumb falls out of my brain and I obsess over it for hours until I have it just the way I want it. So it was with Disapproving Moon.

The moon can totally see what you're doing, and it just wants you to know: gross, dude. Seriously? Come on. Ew.

Books Obsession: a Continuation

Last March, as my stay in Baltimore was reaching an end, my roommate at the time (one ms. Laura Eng) and I had a dual exhibition at a tiny gallery in the derelict art valley of Baltimore. She makes models of imagined spaces in hollowed out computers, and just as an exercise I asked her if I could draw scenes in her spaces. She said yes, and so I started developing an idea. The way I like to describe it is, if what she makes are miniature film sets, I draw stills from the films that would be set there. To complete them, and bringing it back to the concept of a single image telling a whole story (or at least indicating a whole story), I housed the images inside of small book covers I made. The show itself was mainly set up on 3 massive bookshelves that were in the space, which I don't have images of (bad move, me), but I do have images of the drawing that went into the books, as well as pictures of the final pieces.

And it goes a little somethin' like this:

Nickel-Plated 8mm

The Manager

Champ

Goliath

Solitary

The Repertory Company

Marvin vs. the Machine

Sally Sherman and the Unbelievable Everything

The Year of the Avarice

Man! Books, am I right? So cool.

BUTTS. CLASSY.

Here is my second butt. A refined take, this time around.


The world is full of butts. I'm just doing my part to draw some.

BUTTS. AWESOME.

I can't explain to you exactly why I'm so proud of this, but here you go:

This was a marker drawing done for my friend the Filthy Little Punker who gave me 75 cents and told me to "just draw [him] something." It may turn into something of a brand identity for me, so keep your eyes peeled for more butts.

Here We Go

A second (and I think, better) attempt at Illustration Friday's theme, "breezy":


This is black and white inks on dark gray construction paper. I think I do my best work on construction paper. It may just be the future of art. (but probably not)

Various Things, Things Which are Drawings

Thing 1: my fairly uninteresting contribution to Illustration Friday (topic: breezy).



Thing 2: I'm a little warped. Here's a goat-lady who ran up against some pretty fucked-up times.



So there's that.
