THIS IS IT!

The culmination of four months of work is currently on display in the MCAD main gallery and will be until Sunday, December 13^th. I want everyone who can to go and see it and tell me what you think (even if you think it fucking sucks). Take a business card and check out the rest of the Commencement Exhibition from all of the winter ’09 grads.

For those of you who can’t make it and still want to read the comic, I will be putting the whole thing online soon in a PDF format.

More fruits of my seemingly endless effort. Now that the final deadline is less than a week away, the next post will most likely contain pictures from the fully displayed senior show. I graduate in 2 weeks and so far I haven’t had the opportunity to seek out any real post-graduate prospects (for those who have asked I do not intend to go to grad school).
As far as the comic itself goes the only tasks that remain are lettering and printing. I pretty much just summed up my weekend right there.

3 months of work at the detriment of my personal life is finally starting to bare fruit. The illustration here I just did today. It the top half of the cover to my book and I just threw some type on it and made a poster.

Getting to know the dark side

Here's a quick warm up doodle I did. Alright now I gotta go be productive.

Dialogue

Wrote all the rough dialogue for The Odds. Let the editing begin!!!

Here comes the Ass Hole

Well it’s nice being back on here trying to update this thing with something that resembles regularity. There’s a bit more than a month left before I graduate and almost a month exactly before I need to have my senior show completely mounted. Regardless of how much or how little I have left to do (it could feel like either one depending on my mood that day) it still feels like the deadline is too soon. Maybe that’s a good thing though, keeps me motivated. On the negative side I’ve developed a rather strong addiction to caffeine and I’ve developed some annoying health concerns (I may be allergic to stress) but I need to soldier the fuck on.

Here’s a panel from may senior project showing the main character, Steven McCoy doing what it is he does best: being an ass hole.

So here's what I've been up to.

I have a little over a month before I graduate and still have a great deal of work left on my senior project. Trying to remain confident that I will complete everything right in the knick of time, fortunately I have a little extra free time now that I’ve completed my five week poster illustration course. Pictured is my final for that class. One of my first serious tries at acrylic paint since high school, I think it came out pretty well.
I’m going to this concert by the way with my friend, Katie. It seems like forever since the last concert I’ve gone to. To an extent I’ve quite drinking having any type of active night or social life for the past few months due to senior project, so it’s nice to have something to look forward to. Concerning the actual T&S album, Sainthood, that just recently came out, I’ve listened through it a couple times and have really enjoyed it with the exception of “On Directing” which seems to be this album’s requisite annoying angst ballad.
There’s going to be more updates on the way. Mostly concerning my senior project especially as the finished art starts to come in.
By the way I’d love to get some more comments in on here, just to know if people are still reading it or not. More comments mean more posts.
