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.
Joseph Cornell Poem
Illustration for a poem with keywords "eggs + nest converted into children." Two-page spread for a book illustrating several of his poems.
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.
