Robo Crab
This was a doodle I made the other day. Made me laugh.
Going Google
A couple of weeks ago, OCADU’s student email changed over from its old, clunky interface to a Google Apps setup. I was asked to design posters, web graphics and handbills to inform students of the change.
Ryan and the Wizard
The Grandma’s Virginity Podcast is one of my favourite things to listen to (usually while playing Minecraft.) It’s a podcast put on by Justin Roiland, Ryan Ridley, sometimes Jackie Buscarino. It features a wide cast of characters, and usually some improvised scenes acted out by whoever feels like it at the time.
One such scene was one in which Ryan was essentially forced to choose death, or to have sex with Casey Anthony, a woman acquitted in the death of her infant. There were doubts in Ryan’s mind as to whether or not he should even do this, because he wasn’t quite sure if Ms. Anthony was actually innocent. Jesus, God and a Wizard (and his orb) finally convinced him it was the right move.
I was inspired by my friend Taj to send in some episode art, so here is what I came up with.
I like to challenge myself whenever I do a “big” illustration, and this one was all-new for me. I’d never attempted a proper comic book cover; I’d never drawn someone lit from beneath using only highlights, and I’d never drawn Ryan Ridley #$%@ing Casey Anthony, either. This was really fun!
CouchPigDog in SPAAAAACE!!!
This is my second drawing for the 4th Annual Super Mario Marathon for Child’s Play Charity. It’s based on a request from the chat for a hybrid of Couch Dog, Couch Pig and they wanted it in space!
Elmo was a thing that happened late last night - there was a scary Tickle Me Elmo that freaked everyone out with the way it moved.
The Raccoon Suit
This is a Fan Art submission for the 4th Annual Mario Marathon for Child’s Play Charity. There are a bunch of people playing every Super Mario game LIVE, right now, on www.mariomarathon.com!
Donations buy new toys, books and video games for sick children that are stuck in hospitals. It’s a worthy cause if you have a few spare bucks. Go on and check it out!
This is my first submission for this year. I wouldn’t have been able to think of this idea without my friend Caitlin.
Bikey the Horse
This horse is the result of a dream my friend Juan Carlos had in which one of our friends, Banafsheh made a bicycle from a horse.
This drawing is a transcription of what he dreamed Banafsheh had made.
Angry Dude
This was the first time I put the words “Something Else” down on paper.
This drawing was done because an event happened in my life that I desperately wanted to participate in, but a circumstance beyond my control prevented me from being where I wanted to be at the time.
Raising Awareness
People don’t read. I worked for a long time at various service jobs, and the one thing that sticks out in my mind, as a design challenge, is that people just don’t read things. Could be the sign is there to prevent a loss of life or injury, but chances are it will forever go unread. At my office, we have some rules that were going to be enforced for the first time ever, and I took it upon myself to try and make some placards that would get noticed.
Designing for a Client
When you make a contract to design for a client, it’s an amazing feeling. You take a look at what you’ve got to do and break it down into steps, prioritize what needs to be done, and you SKETCH like mad! You come up with all kinds of fanciful ideas - then take a step back and look at it, analyzing it over and over - until you have something to show the client: your first proposal.
