thanks to kate for the pretty photo 
Drawing on these old pages is way more difficult than I anticipated. The ink either bleeds really badly, the pen tip pulls up the paper fiber (effectively clogging your pen tip till it no longer works and making your paper way fuzzy), or just rips through the paper all together. I have yet to find the perfect medium, I guess that’s what you get for defacing a book from the 40s. At least it was cheap.
I have a new sketchbook. Now lets see if I can fill it.
A logo I just completed for a new campaign started by Join The Impact. It’s definitely worth a look if you haven’t heard of it or/and support anti discrimination legislation in the workplace. And really, who doesn’t support anti-discrimination laws? This is a Teach-In campaign about such legislation, so if you are interested in participating (or know of someone who might be) visit jointheimpact.com asap to get the skinny.
This stork came from Trader Joe’s, but I gave him some thoughts.
Of, and relating to, animals, and their thoughts. This one has yet to get thinking, but he’s taking suggestions…
I. Love. Quills. It’s been a heck of a long time since I’ve used them, and there is simply no comparison to the amount of detail I can get hatching with a nib instead of a Micron. I fully plan or drawing some epic new projects with tons of ultra fine hatching. stay tuned.
Not to be confused with swine flu. Here are the final inks for a fancy tattoo my friend asked me to do. It’s a bit hefty on the details, but im leavin any shading up to the tattoo artist.
Here is a super rough draft of something I just had in mind. Not sure where I’ll take it yet, but I’m sure I’ll post more soon. Stay tuned.
News Brief! I certainly have been doing a lot more volunteer work these days, and this is no exception (I am in the middle of some other film/book related projects, but more from those at the end of the month) Here are a couple of flyers for another local non-profit, Pride at Work, that works with OSOF sometimes. I’m happy to spread the design love and do ma part, so here we go…
If it were only that simple. My good friend and illustrator extraordinaire, Taylor White, recently busted ass in what some would describe as an epic acrobatic gravity defying swan-dive into the Norwegian snow via snowboard. The end result was a broken wrist and 8 weeks recovery time. It just so happened that this feat occurred the week before she was due for a visit to the U.S. of A. I was thusly wrangled into making this old school plaster cast (they do things funky in Norway apparently) into an awesome work of art. The end result can be seen beloooooow!!!
She is now a lefty…
The meaty side…
The final detail. In spite of injury, she is still drawing and posting her rad left-handed squiggles!!!! So check out her RAD blog for more RAD work!!!!!!!! !!! !
UPDATE: Since i’ve had a few curious inquiries, I drew the bones and muscles on the plaster using micron pens, it took about an hour to do, and the bone color around it was a mixture of acrylic paint and matte medium, to make it pop more. I doubt this would have worked well on anything other than an old-school plaster cast (they don’t make them this way in America anymore apparently, they usually cover it with that really ridged & extremely textured plastic that comes in all colors), but maybe if you do break something you can request plaster, it’s a great canvas!
DOUBLE UPDATE: Taylor is back in action folks, look out. Alas, the back of the cast was sacrificed, but the skeletal part remains intact, score.
