Fat Printed Creatures

After years of drawing cartoons I kept being told that I would love printmaking because my graphic style lends well to the medium. Last semester I finally took a printmaking class and I must say, I loved it! Here are four prints from what I call my fat mythological creature series. First is a woodblock print, next is a linoleum print, and the last two are screen prints. Fun times were had by all. 

MSUM Illustrations

MSUM has currently commissioned me to create some illustrations for their marketing department. I just want to go ahead and show off my mad skillz in making more adorable drawings.  

1. Scorch, the ever lovely MSUM Dragon's mascot

2. The past four currently living presidents of MSUM 

 3. The oh so delicious chicken tortilla soup that is served every Thursday in MSUM dining facilities

4. A hotdog

Summer Mid-day Nappies

Hey. Hey! HEY! Stop sleeping away your summer. Before you know it, snowflakes will be filling the ground again. But seriously, summers in the Midwest don't last very long, so we need to enjoy them as much as possible.

The Crash

A group of people I know wrote up an idea for a cartoon show called Diner-Sore. They had me do some character design and visual development. This is one of the illustrations based on the information they wanted with five of the characters I designed. I'd probably watch this if it is ever fully complete.

The Ugliest Piglet

This little piggy went to the market... and got kicked out for being ugly.




A little visual development art for my senior animation.

Dino Design #1

For the last half a year or so I got to know a really great person named Ben. I call him my sound guy because he is a sound guy. Anyway, he and some of his friends are starting this really awesome web cartoon and he asked me to do the character designing. It's about dinosaurs that work in a restaurant. Pretty cool idea huh? Here are some of the characters so far for a sneak peak.

Serving up the Funny

This is a self portrait of myself at my current place of employment, Normandy Kitchen, where I have been upgraded from host to a server. I am a bit clumsy, but I get the food to you whether it's on your plate or in your lap.

3D Clown

3D modeling! This is the character I worked on last semester in the 3D modeling class. I'm not much of a 3D person, but I really enjoyed learning to make this little guy in Maya. I hope to finish him up some day and make an animation.

Princess Bride character designs

These are character designs I did when I took a semester in Laguna. They are characters from the movie "The Princess Bride." Can you guess who each one is?

My goal was to emulate the style of Peter De Seve in a circus theme. Pretty good for my first digital paintings if I do say so myself.
