Anachronism: unfinished and unhappy


Anachronistic portrait of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The only piece of this that is mine is the background. It's kinda my front yard.

MOAR progress!


Some more progress. I am about to have to go out, so tonight I'll be putting the final finishing touches on it.

progress


There is some really heavy editing coming tonight. say goodbye to the normal background, and maybe a few of the people are getting replaced. i don't really know what's coming next.

I have a small issue.


What has my graphics class done to me? Ben Franklin's holding an Android g3. Someone has Miley Cyrus hair. The Declaration of Independence is being signed with SHARPIES! And this is just the beginning! By the end of it, I may go so far as to put Robert Downey Jr. in the background or give someone a Barney head! Here I am, at 1:14 in the morning, posting a picture that is so historically wrong that the candles are fluorescent lights. I need sleep.

Out-of-time portrait

Here it is so far, a project based on placing things out of time. All that I have done is repair damages to this image i found on the web. The fun part is yet to come!

Chuck Jones

"All of us must eventually do what the matador does;
go out and face not only the bull, but the crowd.
It does the matador little good,
provides him little satisfaction
to make beautiful passes
in a moonlit pasture"
-Chuck Jones

At first glance this quote inspires no thoughts, and after research it doesn't even seem to exist. However, after reading it several times in different tones, a meaning begins to emerge from it. A meaning that defeats its questioned validity. The matador does not only fight against the bull, but he must fight for the crowd. Without the crowd, the matador has no purpose. No one to cheer him on, nothing to prove himself to, nothing to put on a show for. A crowdless matador is a pointless matador- he can't keep to himself forever, there has to be something to cheer him on.

Death's Messengers have come

My illustration for the Brothers Grimm story Death's messengers is now complete. I wish I could have added more, but the Photoshop I was using was having a problem flickering black whenever i move the cursor onto it.

I Highly Dislike Pixlr.

Well, I have used Pixlr for the first time. Pixlr is great for pixel art and improving upon photographs but is in no way built to be used like Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. It still beats MS Paint though, with a perfect K.O. However, I will avoid any unnecessary use of the program. I will be getting the full Adobe suite at home soon, so I will have no room to complain.

Death's Messengers, A WIP


The above pictures are components of my illustration of Death's Messengers. the lower image is the progress on the finished work, whereas the upper one is of the sketches i am using.

Art Start- Whatever this is

"The clock strikes 12.
You have to hurry before everything changes.
What do you leave behind?"

What do I leave behind... What do i leave forever...? MY STUPID BUSHY EYEBROWS. These things have weight to them and a mind of their own. Every day they seem to try and replace my eyes. I have evil eyebrows man, and it's scary.
