New Years Doodle

Doodling for the New Year, here comes 2012!

Christmas gifting

A little something i whipped up for my Ohio parents.

Santa Gets a Facebook

He knows who you've been friending, he knows your status post...

If Santa had a Facebook, no one would get anything for Christmas.

Mountain Dew Painting

Yeah, no description for this.

Becoming Who You Are Book Cover

My cover design for the book "Becoming Who You Are" by Father James Martin. It started as a painting and then I cleaned it up with some designwork.

Editorial Spot Series

For this project, we had to choose an article and create spot illustrations for it. I chose Esquire's "Americans of the Year" article featured in the December 2011 issue.

Mark Kelly - astronaut and husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords

Elizabeth Warren - Democrat for corporate ethics

Todd Carmichael - rejuvenated Haiti's economy through coffee sales

Paul Ryan - Republican with a new budget plan for the US

Warren Buffett

Final MAD cover

My last go at this MAD Magazine cover. Meh.

Occupy My Heart Valentine's day card

Another Valentine's day card. Made for the special protester in your life. Now I just have to wait three more months.... Purchase it here! 

Thanksgiving card

Here's a card I whipped up for Thanksgiving. Sometimes I like to think about how Thanksgiving would be if Ben Franklin had his way and we got the turkey as our national bird.... Purchase it here!

Valentine's Day - Player 2

Yeah, it's a bit early for Valentine's day... but here's the first card! Purchase here!

48 Project rework

Redo of the 48 Project. They sky's a lot more toned down.

48 Project

We had 48 hours to be briefed on the project, have our teacher act as director and choose one of our thumbnail ideas, and create a full illustration. BAM.

Here's the article we had to illustrate for.

Expoitation of the Pink Ribbon

An editorial painting to go along with this article.

Mad Magazine Cover: Take 2

Second attempt at this. I think I'm just going to completely redo the whole background. But when I have the time....

The Jungle

A cover design for the The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

Mad Magazine Cover

A cover for MAD magazine. Based on the Occupy Wallstreet movement. Ta da. Probably going to redo.

Betty Take 3!

Hoooaaagggh.... I think that's as far as I'll take this one. Hah, or is it?

Now help me make it into a Threadless T-shirt! Click and Rate!

Betty White Take 2

This time I did a technique I've been playing with lately that I'm really liking. Who knows what it could evolve into. I think I might re-do Betty just one more time.....

Doodlin' on the Bus

Doodling on the bus. Like usual.

Livin' in a Granny Paradise

First go at Betty White with color. I plan on re-doing it though. So hopefully take 2 is better.

Left 4 Dead Bus Ad

Some bus ads for the video game Left 4 Dead.

Betty White Celebrity Portrait

The inking for this thing. I'm going to try a couple of different methods for color. But enjoy the rough.

Make Christmas Not War

The original idea was to have the bear building a little house out of the abandoned weapons. But frankly, I got lazy. 

LOLcat Airline Safey Brochure

So the project prompt was to create an airline safety manual with pretty much whatever we wanted. I figured that no one reads airline safety manuals. But it seems that everyone likes LOLcats. Tada.

Skeletons

A little rendering I did by mixing up and redoing some old-school copperplate engravings.

The Book of Judith

A modernized illustration to go along with the Book of Judith in the bible. I'm still working on it a bit, so it's not quite finished.

Nuns Doing Normal Things

An alphabet. Just a bunch of nuns doing normal things.

Mind Blowing Illustration

A postcard mailer to pimp out yours truly. I think I'm going to re-vamp it a bit more though....

TJLP

A poster design for the Transformative Justice Law Project.

Chicago Half Marathon Poster

This is the poster I would have submitted if my body didn't hate me and let me reach the deadline. So now you get to see what could have been.

Starting it out.

So I've decided that I'm too busy and lazy to keep updating a website with my illustrations and such. Instead I'll just post them on a blog! Woo! So here's the first of many. This one was done for a magazine spread project. Here's the rough and the finished. Enjoy!
