Illustrations/fine art

Eyes see many things. Below are a few things that I have seen (or fabricated) that I decided to capture with pencil, ink, vector, and a few other mediums.

Holding On to a Vision Beyond

Charcoal on conte crayon. 18x24 surreal illustration.

New Yorker Cover

A watercolor piece of President Obama smoking.

Dreams That Money Can Buy

Concept poster for 1947 surrealist film (watch on google video). Mixed media on the back of a dry erase board. Some tools used: sandpaper, colored pencil, spray paint, fabric paint, oil pastels, ink, and fabric.

Harmonica

With a reference photo, I created this harmonica with just vectors and gradient mesh. Focused on realism. No part of the original photo is included in the renders. Gives a hyperreal plastic feeling of an actual harmonica.

Monkey

Colored pencil on pastel paper.

Sap Licker Creature

What do you get when mix chicken legs, a lion's mane, a reptile head, fly eyes, and the body of a sloth? The mythological Sap Licker. Colored pencil sketch stitched into a scene.

Two sides to Every Train

Pen & ink drawing.

Traveling Untamed

Collage with a single digital overlay of 3D moviegoers. Final piece includes the boater holding kite-like strings on the fashionable beasts in flight.

Humming (Doodle)

Drawn with an ordinary pen on school paper instead of taking notes. Inspiration probably taken from Escher's mosaic style, except I like to add padding space between objects.

Trophiti (Sketch)

Drawn in pen on lined paper, then traced to vector.
