Hey all- the sketchbook page now contains pretty much all of the art in my gallery. I’ll start expanding the details about each piece soon.

Sparkling Reviews for Bones at W+M
art, Theatrical Process
Ellis and Myers as Ruben and Reg, respectively.
Granted, by now this is old news, but it feels good to have wrapped up what felt like a fantastic show!
Anyway, Bones received two very positive reviews from our local student papers. They can be found at the Dog Street Journal’s website and at that of the Flat Hat. Many thanks to Carrie Crow and Ian Goodrum, respectively.

In addition, I wrote an Honors Thesis that tied to the show, and, 100 odd pages and a defense later, my Thesis has been submitted with Honors! So, I feel pretty good about the process all in all.
I have to say that one of the coolest parts of doing this show was being facebook friended by a young lady who will be performing as Beck in Great Britain. That is cross-continental communication occuring there! It just, blows the mind.

The final kicker for all of this hard work was the seven BOHICA awards that this show garnered. BOHICAs are the W&M Theatre version of the Academy Awards, where our peers vote for our accolades. Bones won, all in the Second Season category: Best Lead Actor, Best Lead Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Ensemble, Best Lighting Design, Best Director, and Best Show.
That said, some thanks are in order. The cast of this show was comprised of persons who were not only excellent actors, but who were great people with whom I would definitely work again at the drop of a hat. Their talent and dedication made me look good, while I pretty much got to sit back and enjoy great theatre in the making day after day. Furthermore, I have to thank my no less dedicated crew, whose long hours, gung-ho attitudes, and incredible expertise helped me make a visually awesome show.
Thank you all for helping me put on such a phenomenal senior directorial!
For those of you who were unable to see the show, check out this awesome video by Silk and Silver Productions!

That one was pretty fun.
Here’s another, a mutliple color study with light/shadow done in airbrush:
A bit smaller and rougher, this one took half the time of the first.

art, PlansHi world! Long time no post. A while back, I promised images/daily webcomic. I got meself a scanner! (woot).
Anyway, I have images. they’re included in this post and up for review from you, the world (wide web). These images are open content, just please cite me as the author.
Four figure studies counter clockwise: character with blades, spidey variant, lady martial artist, lady with blades
An excerise in perspective, proportion, and figure.

The figure group took about 5 minutes per figure (if that).
The suit took 10 minutes: circles, outlines, face, fingers, clothes, suitcase, heavier overlay lines.
The freedom image took about an hour, with the same process being used as the suit, but with more overlay and detailing. I know this time more precisely because I spent a music ethnography class working on it. Yeah… I don’t doodle when I doodle…
Questions/comments/ concerns? Let me know.
