The Play's The Thing and more

This past month has been hectic. Being Head Publicist for The Play's The Thing has turned out to be so much more than I thought it would be. I mean that both negatively and positively.

Anyhow, I am posting 3 things tonight. One page from my sequential arts class and one finished poster for the play Dutchman and one nearly finished poster for A Streetcar Named Desire.

I will eventually post more information on the plays but not until the second poster is done.

This page is from a short comic I created titled Gary and Po.

Charde Fuller is the graphic designer I am currently working with on these posters. Look her up! She's great!

A Streetcar Named Desire

Its been a while since I've posted since I have been busier than a bumblebee.

This semester I am participating in Christopher Shipley's "The Play's The Thing" class and am head of publicity.

We are producing two classic American plays:

1. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams

2. Dutchman by Amiri Baraka

These are two sketches for Streetcar-- we will see where they end up.

You should come watch the plays and invite everyone you know!

For 3 weeks I spent time in Taiwan, amassing a bunch of sketches and stuff. I will share those images with you soon also.

I had my feet eaten in Taiwan.

a few scenes from a recent sketchbook

I realized that I don't share my on-site drawings, so:

Chinese Things

I came up with a story about an alien named Chang-Chang. He is from outer space and speaks mandarin. I don't have anything else on him, just those three details.

This is a dragon I drew for my concept art class. I'm planning on scanning this worm and making it a skin design for a vehicle; I came up with this idea after seeing Nick Illuzada collaborate with Mitchell's handsome tiger tattoo. If you want to see what I am referring to specifically then click on that. Its the image for tuesday May 4. The dude in the front has a tiger tattoo. See it?

If I am wrong about Mitchell drawing that tiger then please correct me.

Greenmount Cemetery

Some pictures taken in Greenmount Cemetery and also my Baltimore-home.

Every morning I wake up and I see this cemetery.

Blonde Redhead and others

This is a C.D. cover I came up with for Blonde Redhead's album La Mia Vita Violenta (My Violent Life). The colors are off so I will repost, but I think you get the gist of it.

The painting was done in gouache and the halo around his head is shiny gold paint, so its too bad it won't show on your screen unless you have a super-screen that shows metallic effects.

These are a few dwelling designs I came up with for my concept art class.

I have been looking at books that document vernacular building designs and its blowing my mind. If you have time, take a look at: Built By Hand, a book that is filled with interesting pictures and notes.

Dvorak

A portrait of the dead composer: Dvorak.

Something from my visual journalism class with Warren Linn.
