The Bronson



Today I got my last print back from the printing place, and it's my favorite. This will also be one of the pieces that I will be showing as a part of the Digable Arts Fest this coming weekend. All in all there are about 6 pieces (this one being the last...and personally my favorite). The only issue that I discovered in the print was the fact that there was some colorizaton and some pixelation happening. That's because I forgot to convert to grayscale before I sent this off to the printer. Opps...
Now I know for next time though.

This print will also be on sale in my society 6 store.

The last step is to get some foam backing done, which should happen this week, and then I should be ready to hang this coming Friday! Sweet!



Drawing Hands


"Drawing hands is hell." 
-Picasso or somebody

I try to avoid rendering anatomically correct hands whenever possible. You'll see one of my rare attempts at hand drawing in last week's "Career Path Generator." Which is probably why I decided to repost this exercise in evasion.

Sails again


But on a light box. See the original comic here. I've actually posted the original here as well a while back.

Drawing Teeth

Teeth are fun to draw. They are shaped like tiny aliens, tentacled underwater creatures, or controversial modern sculpture. Using Kilgore dental study models as reference, I designed a number of t-shirts for my class over four years of dental school. To celebrate graduation and our shiny new DDS degrees, here all the designs in one extensive blog post.

This would be a great game for an arcade or dental office waiting room. I just have to clear up a few copyright issues:



Though it looks like your typical set of wind-up teeth, this is actually a functional complete denture:



The little guy in the background is jumping on a rheostat pedal, which is used to control the RPMs of the high-speed handpiece ("the drill," for those not up on proper dental terminology):



I had the cover of "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by the Flaming Lips in mind when I drew this: 


Unfortunately, this last design was never printed on a shirt. Apparently the rapper Lil' John has limited commercial appeal:

Why I Draw


Special thanks to sculptor Tom Otterness (a fellow Wichita, KS native), Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, and anyone who's managed to snap a photo of the elusive Bigfoot. 

Is this why you draw? You can pick up a print in my new and improved poster shop.
