Lost Innocence animatic

This is an animatic version of the
roughs for a graphic novel I am illustrating for
a company called The Healthy Aboriginal Network
This project is very dear to my heart as it is an
attempt to educate people about the residential schools
here in Canada. This comic doesn't come close to describing the
difficulties Native American children faced in these establishments.

I watched an awesome documentary called
Muffins for Granny , by Nadia McLaren which details the
schools from first hand encounters.

Bugs in the Snow, First Day of Spring

This was just crazy, the snow is piled up to the windows so
we can see like a cross section of the snow
kind of antfarm styles, and my mother
always told me not to eat snow, because there were bugs in it
I never believed her till today! 2 Flys and they are alive!

Watercolor of Matthew

I decided to do a watercolor painting
of my little godson Matthew. I decided it was time to practice
what I preach and really plan stuff out. It looks like a long process but
it really only took me like 2 hours from start to finish I spent more time planning
it out than I did on the actual painting, It was great because it made it almost fool proof
Here's what I did:

I started with a sketch from a Photo
showing the areas of color change

Then I worked out some color studies
in Pencil crayon. This first one was getting to
complicated

so i decided to SIMPLIFY

first layer of light washes

Added in some more washes of shadows

More details and salt texture to the background
cause it makes it feel a bit wintery

Final Painting all framed up,
forgot to turn off my flash though,
OOPS!

8 Classmates

This a piece from life drawing class,
each of the students took turns
sitting for 2-3 min in the same chair,
and we had to draw each of them over
the other, erasing some parts and
leaving in other parts, this is what
came out, curtis said it looks
sexual....what a perv!!

Red Circle VII

We’ll it was a sad day yesterday, I went
to the beach to find my artwork totally
Obliterated! Someone or ones, had smashed
every rock into smithereens. so that was pretty crazy, I can't rebuild it, but it was cool while it lasted. I think it's pretty cool that it did effect at least 2 people into action, one to add to it (the feather) and another into total outrage, they would have had to sit there for quite a while to smash 4' of rocks, anyway this is the last photo I did before the annihilation....Red Circle, we will remember you.......

Red Circle VI

Added a bit more, I guess some rocks will keep
appearing over time so I don't know when this
will end... I'm obsessed!
These are some other earthworks I did, Curtis said this one looks like a vagina?
I don't know what he's talking about, I call it Vagin Rouge



and another mini rockline I did it's tiny and so cute AWWWW hehe
(not as cool as the first one though :P ...)

RedCircle V

From a little while ago, I added seaweed since there was some orangy seaweed that got washed up after the big rain storm last week, anyone ever seen orange seaweed before? like what the hell? that water is definately polluted to the max!!!

The next day I went back and someone decided to ADD their
own artistic touch to the piece....I was not impressed!!!

Sadness

I loved everyones stories for my last homework assignment,
here's my final assignment it was about facial expressions,
I chose Sadness, anyone care to guess at the story here?

Conte on Rag Paper 35 " x 66"

Red Circle Part IV

I'm running out of rocks!!! man this last time it
was really hard to find enough to make the circle
bigger, so this project might be done soon
ya never know, this is from earlier this week:

Artsy-farty Drawings

Ma homework!
The B/W is from a bunch of
wedding photos from a book and put
together to create a narrative. Anybody know what the
story is? haha

Eraser 2

Another eraser drawing i did
I erased a few more times than there
are pictures for but here's 3 stages:

Red Rock 3

Well someone stole the hole in the middle!!!

i don't know aht's upp with that but
i started working on this and it started raining so i didn't
get a chance to put it in circle form afn i had
to go back the next day to take the picture.

Rock Line, a side project I did while working on
the Red Circle

Eraser Nude

This is a figure drawing I did where I
drew the same pose and erased it 3 times.
The final drawing was doen with ink &
conte. This was pretty fun!

a face only a mother could love...flat face ;)

what's up with them tit tehs??? obviously i draw without
actually looking at the model


this is the third conte drawing the assignment was about
positive and negative space

SOLD
ink wash babe, millenium art is all about the
mixed media

More Holes for the pervs

here's s'more circles I found in the wild

these ones are just babies

These are some earthworks by a famous artist
Andy Goldsworthy where i got the idea for mine,
he does these crazy eggs made from rocks that keep
falling apart before he finishes

Red Circle 2

Here is my second installment of the red circle. I think this piece will be harder than I thought, because when I went back to the beach it was trashed, at first I thought the water may have gone up that far but there were still small stones left so I guess it was just everyday traffic, or those ornery "kiwi" kids!!! I hate them! Thankfully most of the rocks I collected were still in relatively the same area so I believe each time I go back I will have to "rebuild" my previous work then expand on it. ANYWAY it is about 3' in diameter now. I am debating on leaving the "hole" in the middle? Any thoughts?

Sun Tunnels

These are the "Sun Tunnels" from my history class, that curtis went to
this one is a hole cut through a dune

This one is 4 huge cement tunnels big enough to walk through

TimeBased CHALLENGE

Hi everyone i want to challenge everyone to do some time-based art!!! it'll be fun!!! i did this red circle at the beach and everytime i go running i will add more rocks to it until it's huge! it's only about 2.5 feet right now, and i will document it and put it on the ol' blog. DO IT OR ELSE!! you can do whatever medium you can think of!
