Baboon Jungle

Baboon Jungle Acrylic on 12 x 16 in. canvas panel 2013

Baboons, I find, are some of the strangest and most frightening creatures on this planet. Funny enough, I think human beings, specifically men, are pretty damn frightening as well. Since we are animals ourselves we have innate tendencies to react to stimuli in a rather uncivilized way. I myself have felt urges, pure primitive ones, at the sight of women. The painting of the baboon is how I imagine my inner voice to look like. It is wild and fierce. Its eyes directionless and aimless because it cannot focus on just one.

I was inspired heavily by Henri Rousseau's jungle paintings. His nude women, and the wild creatures around her. I am also inspired by Walton Ford and his amazing watercolors of wildlife having human like characteristics/motivations.

New York City Subway Train Drawings | Breaking in a new sketchbook.

Here are a some subway drawings I did over the last few weeks. Most of these were done on the ride to and from work on the E train. That's a whole two hours of drawing each day! I go to work five days a week, that makes it ten hours of drawing time a week (not including my time spent in the studio), so by the end of this month I would have drawn for forty hours. Pretty valuable practice time! Let's see if there are any results over a long period of time.

The robot looks like he got a tan...not crazy about his new color. I'm trying out these new gray scale markers. I think it's safe to say that they suck.

Sticking with Prisma Markers. Bitch.

Return to the Museum of Natural History

I went back to draw more bones. I drew a whole lot more this time around, but I think I might've burnt myself out. I don't know how anatomical/medical illustrators do it, bones are a real son of a bitch to draw. After hours of drawing, my eyes began to bug out, and my brain cried for me to stop. A lot of visual information was translated on to paper today. I can't wait until the day where I can go on without any breaks at all. Maybe I'll go crazy, and step over into an enlightened state of creativity. I don't know.

I'm still having a hard time composing properly, fitting everything in. Composition is tough to think about when you're so preoccupied in being accurate. The day composition comes naturally to me will be such a glorious happy day.

Comics about Life

Holy cow, guys!

I've been making a few comics for fun as you can probably tell from previous blog posts. I've been looking at a bunch of web comics lately and realized there isn't much out there that really makes me laugh. My sense of humor is stupid, but not that stupid...so I decided to make my own comics with my "taste" of funny.

Cause and effect. Life's brilliant way of making things interesting. It's in the physics, look it up!

And now, I present to you, the loverly prettiful pictures I drew.
