Posting Apology

I just realized it's almost halfway through November and I've only posted once this month! I apologize for that, and I will post something later this evening. My semester is slowing down a little bit (I submitted to honors studio yesterday so wish me luck) but things will start getting crazy hectic very soon.

The Girl And The Octopus

These are two pieces I just finished for my story titled "The Girl And The Octopus." I'm thinking about putting in some text for the spread. I actually had a good time creating these and I'm very satisfied with the outcome!

Kraken Me Up

Well, I wanted to post a nice picture of a painting that I'm working on right now, but unfortunately the digital camera I've owned for 5 years is finally on its last limb:

This is the best shot I got with my dying camera. Seriously, I'm not a bad photographer! I guess it's just time to admit that my baby is dead and get a new camera. Today is a very sad day.

Monotype #1

This is my first monotype. I'm hoping to do about ten of these tonight. Wish me luck!

Devour

This is a piece I just finished today on body modification. It needed a big ol' clean up but I'm very satisfied with the results!

The Comic

I felt like this should probably be a separate post from my two paintings. This is the first page of my comic book. Theres a lot more inking and watercoloring to do, but still it's pretty damn cool! I'm going into it with some white ink. The comic will be ten pages long and I will post the final result when I finish (which will be in the next month).

The Golem And The Cockroach

So I think I should go ahead and post some of the things I'm working on right now. I'm really, really stressed out but things are coming along. Here's a quick peak on what I'm working on:



This is a painting I'm working on right now. I feel it's important to address the Western fear of robotic uprising. It's not entirely done yet, but I thought it would be worth posting to see my progression. The colors are also a little off, so I hope next time around I get a better scan.

This is another painting I'm working on right now, although it's a little more finished than the golem. My thesis is folklore in the modern era and the comparison of our present superstitions with past ones. This piece is comparing a computer virus to a cockroach, which holds interesting tyrannical and metamorphosing qualities in Russian folklore. Fun stuff.
