I have a new print for sale at my shop, ROXINATION.BIGCARTEL.COM

It’s a diptych, actually, and it’s screenprinted! Each panel is 5″x7″ and you can get both of them for only $8, + s&h.

For those of you who might not recognize him, these depict a very suave fellow known only as “the Spy.” His high-tech gadgets give him the ability to fade into to invisibility, leaving only a puff of cigarette smoke and a vanishing roguish grin behind.

Various rad techniques were used to make this print, including a cool hand-made gradient, and printing (gasp!) BLACK INK on BLACK PAPER. egads!

So please, if you like what you see, consider purchasing it. It’s not every day you can come across a pair of two cool little handmade screenprints for so cheap!

Some sketchbook scans from the past month or so….

Okay, so I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been incredibly preoccupied with an apartment search for next year, but luckily I managed to secure something last week. Funnily enough, the actual process of moving will be much, much easier than finding a place to live.

But here are somet things I’ve done in my time away. First, a t-shirt I quickly silkscreened as a birthday present for my boyfriend:

It’s not perfect and it’s pretty grungy in areas, but I love it, and so does he. It was really fun to do a quick one-day printing session like this for a change.

Some cartoon guns.

Gemini/Apollo 1 Astronaut Ed White (died in a capsule fire)

Baseball…with EXPLOSIVES

That’s why he’s so hood.

I’ll be in Miami for the next two weeks (June 23 - July 5) visiting various loved ones that inhabit the vicinity, so this will most likely be the last drawing posts I’m able to make until after that. I’m taking my sketchbook with me, of course, and probably my tablet so I can get my MSPaint on, but I will be sans scanner and Photoshop.

But first, here’s something I did not draw–rather, I’ve seen it wheat-pasted in various locations around the city, and I had to document it because I thought it was rad.

It’s a film poster for the Will Smith movie Hancock, which–to those unfamiliar–is about a drunken and irresponsible superhero who causes massive collateral damage. Basically, a film I want to see (because my tastes in movies are nothing if not REFINED)–and this illustration caught my eye. It looks like concept art, but I don’t know who can be credited to it. I was just pretty glad to see this type of illustration used for a poster of a high-budget film, for once.

Now to some arts. Some sketches:

(inspired by the animated short “Meet the Sniper”–brilliantly stylized and funny)

Jing at drums

This next one is the final for a poster contest held by PostersForHumans.com. The theme was to parody an cliched poster genre, so I chose to parody vintage babe pin-ups…changing it to the sort of thing I’d like to see tacked up on walls.

So refreshing! I just want to drink it.

It was kind of a rush job since I overestimated the amount of time I had left in New York, but I’m pretty satisfied with it. Of course thanks goes out to SL, patient model, and Dan Allen for listening to me whine about it and giving me his valuable opinion.

I hope I win. I lost the ADAA contest, and a group gallery show I had lined up was canceled, so…I was kind of hoping for an opportunity to lift my drawing spirits.

See, I have this problem where I am very fascinated by Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. I still do not know what to make of it.

The Engineer’s back! and also scrunched up to the corner of the page. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to live in a world where this is not the very definition of manly:

In-progress concept sketches for a small job I have illustrating concept art for a video game. Tanks are challenging!

Around this time of the year I feel like drawing some Harry Potter characters.

Also, Gordon Freeman and other tedious things.

…and brother, I hurt people.

Sketches inspired by Meet the Scout short animation, of Team Fortress 2 fame.

This is a preliminary sketch for a Xerox playing card project the Parsons Illustration Department is involved with…mine is the 9 of hearts. Below that are some somewhat related drawings I did for research…spot the Buzz Aldrin (or not)
