Jumbo Size

Fun Fact: The amount of food consumed by the average American in his/her lifetime is equal to the weight of six elephants.

This man is clearly living much more life than the rest of us...and apparently washing it down with a two-liter of wine.

James and the Giant Peach

Giant fruit lands on skyscrapers while mutated, fully-clothed insects go on a grand adventure with a young, British boy. Sounds like another ho-hum day in New York City.
Oh and here are some concept sketches. There are actually far more bug sketches that are stashed away in some sketchbook because bugs turned out to be awfully fun to draw. Little boys? Not so much.

Not-So-Daily Sketch: NOM NOM

It's been a while since the last post, but I have a fairly good reason: I only have one week of school left. So pretty soon there will be all kinds of finalized projects ripe for the postin'. Until then, I hope this sketch will hold you over.

Dhalsim

This is another Sketch 2 Death deal. We're all doing Street Fighter characters and Dhalsim is my contribution. Check out the blog to see what everyone else comes up with.

So what are YOU doing tonight?

Are you sitting at home being a giant loser with nothing to do on this lovely Friday night? Well, if you're in the Columbus area, I've got some last minute plans (the best kind of plans) for you! If you want to have some fun (and your idea of fun is standing in a room of awkward Illustration majors in collared shirts) you should come to the CCAD Art of Illustration show on the second floor of the Canzani Center. If you're not in Columbus or think you have something more important to do tonight, don't worry your delusional little head, the show will be up through April 17th. So come support some very talented artists and give your eyes something yummy to gawk at.
If you're a follower of the blog, you may recognize these two pieces from me...or maybe not...WHO KNOWS!

Winter Olympics 2

This is part two of the series of illustrations I did about the 2010 Winter Olympics.
So who remembers the winter olympics? Anyone?
Well, I assure you that at one point, this was a pretty topical piece about the Pittsburgh Penguins being split up between different countries' hockey teams during the games. As a fun side note, if you attempt to put a human face on a penguin's body, it will haunt your dreams for months.

Donate!

Let me just say that I STRONGLY encourage people to donate to worthy charities and help the less fortunate. I would also like to say that you should do research and know where your money is going, otherwise you could wind up supporting something like this...whatever this is.

On a side note, who just throws a perfectly good ice cream cone on the floor? Outrageous!

Afternoon Tea

Not to be confused with high tea or morning tea...
clearly.

Billy Goats Gruff

This is an illustration for one of my favorite folktales that was done sometime last semester. Something about an ogre and goat involved in life and death negotiations is just delightful.

Not-So-Daily Sketch: 'scuse me

Another Sketch 2 Death deal. Some finished work should be headed blog-wards soon.

Winter Olympics 1

I recently got an assignment to do two illustrations about the 2010 Winter Olympics and this is the first one. The concept was to show Shaun White in a way that would apply to a young crowd. So here he is (noodle limbs and all) showing up some wannabes in the Canadian mountains. Stay tuned for part two (IT HAS PENGUINS!)

Edward Sharkhands

For some reason this makes me think about the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry cheats on his barber with his barber's nephew. "What are you gonna do on the toilet with sharks for hands?!?!"
