Sacrificial Sketches

Still working out these "designs"
Currently working on a sketch that I want to blow up to a much bigger size...don't know what medium I'll end up doing it in.
Tired of planning...ready to make some moves.
Yeah, moves.
The High Priest

My friend has a shitty scanner...I should really draw in my own books.
Preparing the virgin for sacrifice!

Igor Stravinsky's music works so well when I draw these things.



Best stuff around.

This has been a very trying week for me. I hate the Smiths...but this song clearly knows what the hell I'm feeling currently.

What are you up to lately? Attempting Industrial Design School

I got laid off from my job on January 31st 2011. I'm not too upset about it, though, in fact, I'm very happy it happened. I now have time to work on a new portfolio gear towards industrial design. My new plan would be to get myself into Pratt's masters program and land a REAL job utilizing my talents.

The following is all the stuff I've been working on lately for the portfolio:













 It's been a long process. I won't even bother putting up all the reference I went through to get ideas for this robot of mine. I really wish my sketches looked nicer and on better paper, but I feel way more comfortable drawing on scrap paper. This piece is definitely coming together though, and I'm excited to tackle the creation of this robot. I'll probably begin next week on constructing the prototype. I have way more drawings to do, but lord knows I have the time to do it all, and that's the beauty of it.

Note to self: Stop painting on printer paper, it warps.
