SENORITA DE NEGRA

This was supposed to post by itself on the 31st.

Lara de los Muertos. Never done face makeup (on someone else) before. Fun.

WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF CHILDREN?

I went looking for dark or evil or scary, for a Halloween post. What happened? My drawings from childhood far topped anything I have to show for now. I always went through the red crayon first. I projected my own night terrors. Anyway, gore and evil and dark was much more prevalent when I was a child. Guess this means I'm healthy now, but the trade is tame, foo-foo art.

 

DISPOSITION

School has consumed my life. It's all I have to show for anything lately.

Photo illustration self portraits. We choose our own battles...

Sun Over Marin

Another fun school assignment. Full re-creation, before and after. Reminds me of South Bay.

Perched Aloft

Photoshop assignment for school. Supposed to be a self portrait, using only our own photos. Smoke and ashes in city still sort of pending.....need to take smoke/cloud tutorial from my 2,343,576 page textbook. My gaiters look like leg warmers. 

The 4th Dimension is Mind

This is Elliot Ave from 2 perspectives, North-bound, then South-bound. I bent space and time. Seattle can never get its fill of colorful corners.

Eyes Wide Shut Me Down

First project in class at AIS. I put some solid effort into it, 12 layers/7 channels, and the teacher said, "eh, it was just to get you working, I don't even want to see it."

How could you deny that face??

PATRON SAINT OF PATIENCE

 

Finally finished what was supposed to be a mother's day gift in 2008. (see older post about pending work here) Needless to say it swallowed many hours. Pen and ink, scanned in sections, realigned the scans, used channels to isolate sections and color in certain layers. Also made some major structural changes, such as the flames in the background, by mirroring one side and cloning it....I even made her taller by warping a lower section of her in Photoshop. 17 layers, 25 channels. Guh. But it turned out nice, Kinko's (Fed Ex, ahem) did a decent job printing, however late.

Poor angel remained crushed underfoot. I can't even remember why I was mad at him to begin with. 

Like I wrote on the back, "Happy every day Ma!"

STILL HANGIN' ON

Been building back up my Photoshop Skillz lately, it's such a powerful program...good opportunity to fix up old work that needs it. Will be posting some more here soon.

I LOVE LAMP

First "photoshopped" image. I immediately fell in love with the program. I already had a lamp fetish.

A KIND MESSAGE FROM THE KATS

I imagine cartoonists, political satirists miss him, in a way...
