Hey there!
I'm working on a project dealing with work/home. The idea is set in a space where both work and home occupy. It is important that the two environments coexist comfortably if one is to commit to both. There is a lack of discernible identity when an individual distributes his or her self exclusively to one or the other.
This is a pretty interesting piece for me because I'm using transparency and a somewhat crafted light box that uses light which the viewer chooses for it. The first and second image is the back view of the object. There are two panes of glass that have some space between them. The front has a sheet of vellum I adhered to it, pieces of vellum for some of the objects, pencil, pen, charcoal and paper. The back just has some vellum pieces on it. I forgot to take a picture of how the frame looks from the front. Next update.
I had to perform some surgery on two identical fixed picture frames so I could use one on the front side and the glass from both in the project. They magically fix well with the wooden frame I acquired. Some epoxy and this amazing two part clay later, I basically have what I have now. There were these ornaments I had drilled holes for and placed on the wooden frame that looked ugly so now I have some holes. I wanted it to have some sense of needing to be held by the viewer to direct it to a light source. I'm going to look for some copper/bronze plate of some sort to wrap around those parts of the frame.
The last picture is what it can look like, so far, with a light source behind it, in this case a lamp behind it and some natural light. Some interesting shifting occurs when tilting it due to the distance between the panes of glass and the strength/distance of the light source. Sunlight is really good. Sometimes it makes some other colors appear.
I'll keep this updated.

"Borderlines" - The cycle of life with actions and subsequent reactions and opportunity.
Self-portrait with a mosaic concept. This was printed on a skateboard. I don't have access to the board right now, so pictures later. You can buy it if you want to.

About my third time painting with some non-solvent based oil paint. It's a rock, it's sliding off the table.

More to come!

I am particularly fond of this.
I'm working on a comic project titled, The Gingerbread Thrasher, with two other people. They will be adding texture and color to it. So far this is the first five pages just lines.
I have to fix the giraffe's neck placement a bit on the fourth page. There's also a gap for printing reasons. Full bleed!
I'll get the photo of that skateboard for you Orik, and more. Keep you updated!

Here's the portrait print on a skateboard. Feel free to order yourself one if you'd like. I'll prolly take down my shop at the end of the month or next month.
Buy it here!
This board had a progressive process with oil pastels, clear coated, and finally oil paint markers.
Another non-solvent based oil painting. Some Shoooooeess.

Oil based and water based oils are not equal.
Maybe I'm not using the right words, but I'm just trying to say that the oil paint was thinned only with a drying oil (in this case, walnut oil) as opposed to more hazardous solvents like turpentine.

I like all of the more surreal stuff because you actually draw humans in it. I feel that a lot of the time people resort to abstract and surrealism when they just can't draw humanoids. You shatter this.
I really like the whole clockwork/mechanical feel to the man's head in Tracy.

Some prints I made based on personifying colors. In this case we have dueling Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. I'd like to screen print this or similar work on personifying colors in different situations.

I would strongly recommend not going with the inlaid scroll frame, doubly so when you have an exterior scroll. It's just annoying IMO. Also, that's some jacket you got there. ;D

It shouldn't be difficult as long as you have pretty full access to the code. It's far too late for me to think though, and I can't remember this stuff off the top of my head. =/
What's the process like though? What's generating the code if anything?
I should probably just evacuate Blogger and host my own Wordpress and do it that way.

Here's a poster for an upcoming show a couple of friends put together to be held at our university's own planetarium. Should be hellah fun with some space rock and a star show.
I'm going to have to see if I have the time and money to get this properly screen printed. Some sexy metallic silver ink for the gray on black paper. :winky:
You can also have fun with some optical desktop backgrounds 1440x900 I decided to make.
Moire pattern.
I accidently made this optical illusion that if stared into the center for a bit all of the pattern turns blue. I believe this is probably from retina fatigue.

Neo! Have I told you that I love your style? I do! This one is no different, I love it... in fact, I'd take it on a date and try to kiss it at the end. But, much like a date, it has things that go better.
My biggest issue is the text placement. It's down there at the bottom of the suit. But I hardly noticed it the first time because all the focus goes to the monkey's face because of the tunnel he's in. That tunnel forms lines that point to his face, putting my attention right on the monkey.
If I could suggest, maybe you could put the text riding on some of the panels. I dunno if you understand. I'll try to illustrate:
From the homicidal humanity as the antagonist to consumable imagery of space monkeys to draw specific audiences to a show.
(I might need to edit this statement, rushed in the middle of class)

Yup. I have little practice with lettering by hand, so it definitely took quite some time to get it to look halfway decent. Also, some use of skewing was made in Photoshop.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I've been studying pop art at the moment. It influenced a lot of my choices and subject matter. That, and the whole planetarium space show. Content derived from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I know this is ancient...but this is the best brush soap EVAR. I use it whenever I work in oils.

Starting with the most recent poster:
This is where I work and print now (click for flickr set):
Print and some transparencies for each color used in the print (click for flickr set):
Paste-up of the b/w artwork, testing colors, and detail (click for flickr set):
The screen that makes the print that tells you where 2009 beers are to be had (click for flickr set):
I'll try to document and write a more in-depth process for particular aspects of printing for those who'd like to get an even better look at some of the things it takes to screen print in your own home. Maybe some for the tutorial thread!
Also did some album artwork that should be available in print sometime soon:
Prints are available in my Etsy link in my sig.
Be back later!
