"Tricycle" and "Big Wheel"






5" x 7". gouache, red ink, green crayon, over collage.

Originally made for a little show in a local bike shop, but I'm too late.
I'm in the middle of a third of a Green Machine, but I'm not sure I'll finish it now.

"Characters"



ink, then digital.

Just completing one of those meme things that was going around.

As far as I know, the meme originated here (in Japanese).

There is a blank translated to English here (on dA).

I set up the blank frame on it's own layer, locked it, and then worked the image underneath it.

So, when I was finished, I clicked off the frame and found this below.

I think I like it just as much, though the visual effect was unintentional.

It was hard to whittle down the pick, I limited myself to visual, drawn mediums (my list for fictional characters in general would be different (including books, live action movies, etc.)) and even so I couldn't get it down lower than eleven, not ten.

In Print: Bug 036



One of my "Bug" sculptures was used as an illustration in the current issue of Conservation Magazine (Quarterly, April-June 2010) for a feature article on using insects as a model for sustainable human habitat.

The art director pointed me to the web version, which is similar to how it printed.

"Floyd"



8.5" x 11". gouache.

Made for private commission. It's an interpretation of this image: a con-badge by artist Jim Groat.

Click: eye detail.
