Illustration for The Common Review.

This is an illustration I did for the Fall 2007 issue of The Common Review. It's accompanying an articled entitled, "Who Wrote Frankenstein?" (Mary Shelley or Percy Shelly).

Kevin Scalzo's "Sugar Booger" #2.

I did a "pin-up" drawing for Kevin Scalzo's new issue of "Sugar Booger" and it also features pin-ups by Eric Reynolds, Jacob Covey, Anna Klein, and Joshua Vrysen. To order your very own signed copy of Sugar Booger #2, go here.

Bhopal Ink Wash Drawings.

This is a series of ink wash drawings I did for an Environmental Science class project on the 1984 MIC gas (methyl isocyanate) disaster that happened in Bhopal, India. A pesticides plant in the heart of the city (owned by Union Carbide and currently owned by Dow Chemical) malfunctioned and released approx. 40 metric tons of this gas into the city, killing 3,000 people and in the coming years, another estimated 15,000 to 20,000. Neither Union Carbide nor Dow Chemical have given proper compensation nor cleaned up the site. Although these images aren't necessarily accurate, I wanted to choose a sequence that would help sum up the event and its history. The third image shows Warren Anderson, the CEO of the old Union Carbide Corporation, who still has homicide charges against him from Bhopal.

In Memory of Sol Lewitt...

Here's an illustration I did a while back in memory of Sol Lewitt.

Recent Doodles...

All of these were done with colored inks, India ink, and markers.

This is an illustration I did for a class project. We were to illustrate four different "ism's", such as capitalism, hedonism, cannibalism, masochism, etc.

New Paint and Ink Drawing.

Abstracted Factory Worker.

Here's a drawing I did as an extra proposed sketch for a class project. I was looking at some Stuart Davis art and just kinda threw this together (it's not fantastic, but I just figured I'd share it). It's Prismacolor markers and Sharpies.

Paying Tribute to Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl...

This is a drawing (click for larger version) in tribute to Woody Guthrie's "Dust Bowl Ballads." I did it with India ink and colored pencils. It was just something new that I hadn't tried before (compositionally and technically).

Fernand Leger Ink Wash "Caricature"

Here's an ink wash drawing I did incorporating a few of Fernand Leger's paintings and a small "caricature" of him. I'm pretty fond of his art, so when I was assigned to do a caricature for a class, I decided to do one of him in this unconventional rendering, as I thought it would fit him and his work better than the stereotypical large head and small body.

"Cartoon Suprematism"

Here's a drawing of a Suprematist styled composition with some cartoon characters as the geometric shapes. If you don't know which ones they are, I've failed in my representation of them, I suppose. I may be making a larger painting of this too.

Clayboard Weight-Lifter...

Here's another recent clayboard scratching.

A couple of painted doodles...

Here's a couple more of my geometric guys painted with ink over them. (You can click either one for larger versions.)

"100 Years Of Labor" - Clayboard Project

This is an 11"x14" clayboard scratching I did for a class. The project was to take influence from the WPA posters of the 30s and 40s and create an image in tribute to 100 years of labor.

New Painting.

Here's some detail:

Here's the whole painting:

And here's one more for the hell of it:

This is a 2 foot square painting I did for class that's based on a system and/or pattern. I designed the four characters so they would fit in together in a modular fashion and then alternated four colors (radiating from the inside squares outward).

Sketch Exhibit at Columbia College.

Above is a few doodles made with a rubber stamp I carved out.
I have 10 pages of sketches in an exhibit at Columbia College called, "Sketchy Five." The show is open to the public and is located at 623 S. Wabash Ave., Hokin Gallery and will be up until April 20th. Below is one of the pages I have in the show. I'll be at the reception on March 29th at the school.

Recent Doodles for March...

Here's some scratchboard doodles I did with some other doodles I did with Ryoko Oguchi below it.
