rumba!!!!

this was inspired by a small 2" x 3" ad i saw in my local newspaper - for an actual club/casino called "rumba" in NJ. so this place actually exists. i just thought all the copy and the people were hilarious. so i did my own version.

two freelance jobs - one for the stranger (about the band 'built to spill') - and one for time out new york (about student id discounts in nyc)

sketching at the Met

spent a day at the metropolitan museum of art - got to see the superhero exhibit (which was excellent, way better than I expected it to be), the turner exhibit, and a really awesome show of Buddhist painted manuscripts.
and of course no visit to the met would be complete without sketching a little bit from the greek and roman sculptures.
this one was my favorite.

roadtrip art

so, i just returned from a very exciting and fun roadtrip to houston with my brother. we stopped in columbus, nashville, new orleans, then houston (of course). i found that a good way to pass the time in the car was the draw on newspaper pictures!
here are two of my favorites.

lunar colonies

this is a cover illustration for a book that is a collection of essays on lunar colonies. type may or may not be placed in the sky, so i left room just in case. this is a pretty hypothetical collection of colonies - but I fact checked with the author to make sure none of the structures were physically impossible. i wanted my illustration to be a departure from the typical technical illustrations done for books like this - and i wanted to focus more on making the colony a place that someone would actually want to live! despite being hostile - it should look inviting!

last judgement

i seem to be on a religious bent with my illustration - or at least for these last two posts. although neither would be very traditional depictions.
both were made with acrylic paint and india ink.
