still life.

There's a goblin mask, a grenade, some of the skeleton keys that I collect, goat horns, and a wooden snake. Done with ink and crow tip pen.

goya's saturn.



One of my first major attempts at painting this semester. Hopefully you can't tell which is mine and which is the original.

we all wear masks, metaphorically speaking.


Gouache.

Watercolor and Prismacolor.

A pair of masks I quickly painted for my rendering class. They both turned out better than I had hoped.

pushing up daisies.


This was just something that I did a few months back. I had never used pastel before and wanted to get a little exposure in it. It's nothing amazing I suppose, but it represents a first attempt with a foreign medium.

this tastes like piss..

"Provocative and brash in its willingness not to be polite of politically correct."

this is a t-shirt that i designed and painted for my illustration class. we had to come up with a fictional brewery/alcoholic beverage and create an image to complement. there's a lot of shit beer that tastes like piss, in my opinion, and so my concept came pretty naturally. i especially love goblins, and i found amusement out of the idea of their urine being alcoholic (my original design included a circle of goblins pissing into each others mouths, in drunken delight)





as for the name of the brewery, i may have been inspired by this..

lame video, terrible music, cool band name..
