My mom puts up with a lot.
Dropping my life plans to do art instead, it means a lot that she supports me and that she’s proud of me. Nearing graduation, I’m realizing I most likely won’t be the biggest bread winner out of my siblings, but it’s comforting to know I can run to my mom and show her all the stuff I make with the same enthusiasm as I had since I was 4. That’s really important for me to keep going. So, thanks Mom!
The last of my drawings for my school paper. There’s some Best Of thingy on this issue and they wanted stuff for it. Most Useless Class (History of The Beatles) and Worst Classroom Personality. I didn’t have long to do these, but only the Beatles one suffered from the time I think. Or just Paul and those girls.
The last article is on planes or whatever. I really didn’t dig the subject, but I like this drawing the most. I guess that’s like some kind of metaphor for this gig? Or life even? A good note to end on.
It was fun to get paid to draw. I really hope my post-college life lets me do more of this.
Tomorrow’s article is about how 3D ain’t going anywhere, no matter how much you’re complaining about it existing.
I need the okay from my editor to make sure this can actually be printed, but I like it enough to put it up here unsullied.
I haven’t uploaded one of these things in a while. I just haven’t really been feeling any of the ones I’ve been making. Same deal here, but I like some parts enough. The article is on how the government screws over the lower and middle class. I went a little crazy with Chris Wahl’s Struzan brushes.
for tomorrow’s article about DJ’s. I don’t think I’ll like the article, based one what I’ve been told about it, but I like this thing I drew for it. Some of the record designs I had to kind of just guess. Google didn’t help much for them. Fun drawing. Could you name the records I used?
This is a piece for a show tonight that I finished this morning :S
The theme is “one night stand.”
pay no mind
Today’s article is about lowering your expectations. I felt like drawing the cutest punk kid ever giving no fucks. I also have a new editor sending me emails. I hope she likes pentagrams!
Tomorrow’s issue is all jokes. I’m pretty happy about that. The article I drew for is about bacon being the most important part of your meal.
tomorrow’s article is about dumb people.
I’m really happy with this! my editor e-mailed me saying he likes but he’s not sure the other editors will. this makes me like it even more. in retrospect, I wish I made something about the victim. it feels like whether you feel sorry for or wish damnation on those kids, some people seem to forget that someone got raped.
I wanted to work on my lettering. it’s weird trying to copy someone’s work. I can’t get the imperfections right. this won’t be colored on the paper, but I wanted to finish the look. sunday comic colors are the best.
multiplayer
I want more games about friends.
your burger is loading
a few weeks back, Thomas said some really nice things about my work. you have no idea how much of a pick-me-up a few kind words can do to me. it really means a lot. so, thank you!
Thomas’ favorite food is burgers. that’s on my list too! it’s also the name of my town in Animal Crossing, and pretty much any town I can name in videogames.
tomorrow’s article is about having a falling out, picking yourself back up and learning how to be alone.
I had the option between drawing for this article or one about congress not doing things. I picked the one I had more experience in. it really sucks to have this happen to anyone, to say the least. but you can make art out of it, so that’s… something? I guess?
Alex
Alex is a friend I knew since I was 12 or something? she had a Squier bass (I think it was a bass. I can’t remember now) I was really jealous of and wanted to play a lot but rarely had the chance to. I haven’t seen her since I was 15 and probably would’ve never known what she’s up to if the internet didn’t exist. but since it does exist I learned that she’s doing fine and does art and has cute haircuts and has really nice clothes and at one point when myspace existed she made music that was as good as her taste in it.
she asked if I can draw her so I did. I played around with different things for this, so it’s a bit of an experiment. hope you like it!
bomber
I didn’t finish the girl I was drawing the other day because I saw this girl. on top of all that, I have a mountain of work to do. I suck that much at paying attention. she’ll be done soon. I just really wanted to draw this poofy jacket. my day will be made when I draw legs I’m happy with.
the article tomorrow is on the effects of caffeine. this was the funnest article to draw for so far this semester.
