Dating and Sexing - GQ

There was an article in a recent GQ magazine that mentioned something about the way men treat dates differently now and that the approach to sex has been mutated as a result of easy access to online pornography. So I tried to illustrate the article with the idea of old school dating mixed with some new school mentality.

There you have it.

Catching Up

Hello, I have an older piece from november... or october, to share with you. I worked on this boat over the course of maybe 3 months on and off. It was originally for my senior thesis. Most of the time was spent learning how to draw waves- lots of them! The original is on a tan-colored paper, but all I have to show for it now is this black and white photograph. (22x30)

At the same time I am trying to build an inventory of spot illustrations. The purpose of these is to create some kind of one-liner or metaphor or something like that. These are two recent works:

Expired Milk

Happy New Year! Both Gregorian and Lunar~

Here are some things that should have been posted a while ago:

For the second half of Senior Thesis I will be creating a series of illustrations on the theme of modern relationships as documented, discussed, dissected by popular magazines and newspapers. This week I came up with three spot-illustrations for Psychology Today's relationship column. I have included my doctored version as well as the original magazine spread.

Spots:

The following piece is an illustration for a short article that I contributed to the Alhambra Source. It focuses on the mandarin-english language barrier and is a heavily-edited version of a longer 10 page paper I wrote about a year ago. It is titled Communication Breakdown - I may redo it.

Other stuff will be posted sooner than later from over winter-break and new years.

Also! Paige Vickers has a show at the MICA Meyerhoff Gallery!

Here is the postcard for the show, so go! :

DANKS FOR LOOKING

Another one for the Alhambra Source

Hello!

The other day Daniela Gerson, editor of the Alhambra Source contacted me to do another illustration for their online newsletter. This article features non-traditional ways of celebrating thanksgiving- just in time for Christmas. Click on the link below to view the article:

Thanks, Daniela~

Ape On The Moon

So,

Ape On The Moon, an illustration site, did an article on VEND SEND MEND, the fundraiser that I put together with Craig Bowers this past summer.

Somehow I missed the fact that they posted it in September.

Here's the article: http://apeonthemoon.com/2011/09/13/vend-send-mend-art-sale-for-japan/

BUT! That's okay because Vend Send Mend will be at the annual MICA Art Market! We still have plenty of pieces to be sold which means plenty more money for those who are still in need. If you or friends and family are visiting Art Market this year tell them to check out the VSM box! Thanks in advance~

Medusa-Looking

Sketch-to-finish of an illustration/journal entry for the idea of miscommunication and language barriers and things of that sort:

This is an example of what I draw in class. There are notes, names of classmates and things that I see with blurred vision:

Back of my sketchbook now features a drawing of a statue from the Walters museum:
