Merry Christmas

I'm sure there were a few others before Rudolph hit the scene. This may have been one of the failed mascots.

Have a Merry Chrismahanuquazaka.

Doing some posters for some classes running in the local art's school on genre specific storytelling.

sculpting

2010-09-29T14:07:00.000-04:00

I was getting tired of staring at the computer screen so I thought I would try my hand at sculpting some of my characters. Not the best job in the world but it was fun to do!!

Oh the things our brain does

2010-09-11T08:20:00.001-04:00

I've been having some crazy vivid hynogogic images just before I fall asleep recently. I can usually resolve the image and see exactly what it is, this one was elusive, the patterns and stuff got in the way but it was a neat image and I wondered if I could capture it somehow. It's not quite it but close.

Character doodles

2010-09-01T15:55:00.003-04:00

This is some quick drawings I did with just a ball point pen...trying to wrap my line around doing caricatures. I think I still have alot of fishing to do.

Well, it's been a long time coming but I am finally done college and my films. So, here is a sampling of some people sketches I did today coming back from Pelee Island. Now, the hard part of finding a job and keeping up my art.

HELLO HELLO

2010-01-21T22:54:00.004-05:00

anybody home?

God's great call centre in the sky.

2009-12-15T15:36:00.008-05:00

Just a random thought I had last night I decided to flesh out. Sorry if this offends anyone's religious bent. Just a bit of fun.

Person with a debilitating degenerative disease...picks up the phone and dials.

SFX: Phone ringing.

Call centre answering service: Hello.
Dude: Hi.. I’d –
CCAS: Thank you for calling 1-800-1-GOD.
Dude: Yes I'd like too --
CCAS:Your call is important to us.

Dude: Yes Right, of course...how silly of me...

CCAS: Please stay on the line and a customer service agent will be with you shor --
The voice is cut off as a real voice takes over.

Call centre Angel: Hello, you’ve reached 1-800-1-GOD. How can we help you today?

Dude: Yes, hello. I was given a faulty body.

CCA: What year and model, sir?

Dude: It's a Caucasian, 1963 model, medium, with brown hair and green eyes.

CCA: Can you please stay on the line for a moment, sir. I need to put you on hold.

Dude: Sure, no problem.

CCA: Thank you, sir.

HOLD MUSIC: Love lifts us up where we belong

Dude: Oh man.....

HOLD MUSIC: Where eagles fly...on the mountain h---

CCA: Thank you for holding sir. It turns out the ‘63 you described did have a defect. Would you like a trade in for a new model?

Dude: What? Yeah! Really? What’s the catch?

CCA: I’m afraid you must default the rest of the term on your current model.

Dude: Oh...okay...well I'm miserable now. What can it hurt?

CCA: Okay sir. Just wait there, an angel will be around to collect your soul shortly

Dude: Thanks...

Dude: It's our pleasure. Please be advised that at the age of 18 in your new model you will receive a customer service call, so we can learn how to better serve you. Thank you for your time. Have a nice life.

SFX as CCA hangs up : Click

Dude: That was....gasp.....

SFX of body hitting the floor: thud

Dude’s lifeless body falls to the floor. An angel stands with a soft glowing light in his hand.

The angel pulls out a cell phone.

Angel: Hi, yup. I got ‘em. You’ve got the new model ready to go? Great. I’ll be there in a jiffy.

Angel snaps the phone closed. He disappears.

A baby is born.

At the age of 18 the phone rings.

Dude: Hello?

CCA: Good afternoon, sir. We’re just calling to find out how you’re getting on with your new ’86 model?

Dude: Erm…my what?

CCA: Your body. How’s it working out for you?

Dude: Eh..I guess it’s….what?

CCA: Would you say the service you received in your previous model was satisfactory, above average, or kick ass?

Dude: I’m going to hang up now.

SFX: Dial tone.

Cut to two angels in a call centre.

CCA turns to other CCA.

CCA: F$%&in’ monkeys. Hello, you’ve reached 1-800-1-GOD. How can we help you today?

A Sweater for all Occasions

2009-02-09T22:26:00.003-05:00

This is the rest of that suite I did in January. All of my my dad. The painting still needs more I think, but I kindof like the contrast between the complexity of the face and simplicity of the rest.

The day I became an artist

2009-01-26T17:00:00.004-05:00

I think we all did this at one point or another.

Another 24

2009-01-26T14:56:00.003-05:00

Why would anyone want to do the work we do?

I think that deep down inside I'm punishing myself for doing something awful when I was a child. Like the time I drew a Stormtrooper shooting a Taun-Taun on the wall under the stairs.

hahaha

2009-01-20T23:52:00.002-05:00

I'm doing a three piece suite of portraits for my art class. The painting isn't done but since i may scrap this composition for another I thought i'd post it anywho. The second is a portrait i did of my very patient father who agreed to be my model and all i have to say is PASTEL PAPER IS SWEET!

I haven't posted in a long time so i thought i'd post a little clip from the pop up book i'm making. One of the characters in the book decides to sculpt garbage into art. So these two images are seen transforming into the other inside a thought bubble.

2008-11-29T21:19:00.002-05:00

sorry, i've been kinda dying lately. school steals souls sometimes.
almost over though, we can do it, guys! we shall prevail.

i haven't been doing any drawing besides doodles at the side of my schoolbooks for a while now, but the kids in my class asked if i would do up a design for our program, which is urban education. it's going on a hoodie. anyhow, this is what i came up with, having no time and even less energy. i think it's gonna be white on black. well, back to the books...
