here's one more acrylic portrait and a cover for a mix CD I made for Allan Comport - which is mixed media (acrylic, ink, and pencil). these were both quick but really enjoyable to make. i can feel i am making slow but steady progress with figuring out how I want to use acrylic paints.

an oldie but goodie

digital form of a screenprint i did last semester....i'm soon going to take pictures of my more recent prints and post them online as well.
if you don't recognize her - that's Chyna, the female wrestler from the WWF. read up on her in wikipedia if you like....there are some interesting tidbits of information.

two acrylic portraits

so, whenever i've recently had extra paint on my palette that i was going to throw out - i decided to use it up in my sketchbook, painting some abstract shapes that could be used for portraits. then after it dried, i drew over it with black pen - and this is what resulted! i really enjoyed this process.

an alternate illustration for the third part of my mom's poem "Weeping Beech Park.

these three tattoos are based on the king, queen, and jack characters from your traditional deck of playing cards.....except they are inspired by mexican wrestler costumes. i just bought some tattoo printer paper....so soon i'll post pictures of my roomates and myself wearing these very tattoos!!!!!!!!?!?!?

crazy acrylic head!

so at first i created this just as a texture to be used in another illustration...but then, i decided to make it into a face! and i love it.

THE LUMBERJOCK

finalized version - cleaned some stuff up, colored lines, added a class ring and name!
i think its pretty witty, if i do say so myself.

indiana- kevin- WOW

first comes first - here is my indiana jones final. as you can see, it ended up looking different from either of my sketches. I took the outfit from the first lady and put it to the background of the second - cut her hair, and changed the pose to be a more casual one.
THEN - the many pieces of clothing are sketches for a wardrobe I am supposed to create from of my classmates (kevin). I like how loose they are and I'm trying to figure out a way to take this to final without losing that energy and playfulness.
And the last piece is for my Words on Wheels poem. Hopefully this will end up on MTA public transportation.
