Christmas by Ralphie

Merry Christmas all, here is a sketch for you. Don't forget to watch A Christmas Story today!

Collaboration

You know what's cool? Collaborating is cool. 

Here is a ballin' recent thing that Guðjón and I worked on. I sketched this lady creature, and he sculpted it in his own style via ZBrush.

Cool huh? More to come hopefully.

To Build a Fire - Episode 6

Installment six, almost to the end!

Letterpress

Part of my fall semester involved learning letterpress techniques. To make a long story short, the class was awesome, and I'm continuing working with Ringling's letterpress studio with a few other students next semester.

These two pieces were based on my home. Colorado, I love you forever.

Compositions were made using woodblock type inked by hand and metal type of text that I wrote myself.

Enjoy :>

Portrait

All 100 somethin' of us ill majors get to do a senior portrait as part of our senior show. I took the opportunity to find a technique that I have never done before, and the result involved drawing my face on a body and working some photoshop magic. 

Special thank you to Guðjón and his nipple :>

To Build a Fire - Episode 5

Episode 5 folks! Our dear friend is in quite a pickle it would seem.

What WILL he do?! Tune in next Tuesday to wet your comic whistle.

KUHL

In light of my potential year in Singapore after graduation, I have spent the semester making artist books and handmade pieces. 

This series is called KUHL, and is a collection of images that I feel reflect characteristics of current trends--essentially, things that are "cool."

My process involved lots of drawing, lacquer transfer, and an abundance of glitter.
