Starring my favorite movie monster, here's a quick time-lapse video of my first real attempt on the iPad with my new Jaja pressure sensitive stylus. I've been fumbling around getting the hang of the Jaja and identifying the quirks in both Procreate and Sketch Club apps. I'll always love my Wacom Cintiq for serious work, but this seems to be pointing in the right direction for a portable option. I'll post again with more in-depth thoughts on it.

Extinguishing The Museum Tower / Nasher Debacle

'Extinguishing The Nasher Debacle'
Digital, 2012, Semigloss. Mag

Hot enough to kill the gardens, damage original artwork, and close whole exhibitions, Museum Tower casts its destructive glare onto the Nasher Sculpture Center. Can Dallas save the day?
I'm excited to say that this piece will grace the pages of the inaugural issue of Semigloss. Magazine, addressing current issues in the Dallas art scene. I'm also excited because while this illustration isn't exactly the first completed, this is the first public display from my new body of work.
I've started developing what I'm calling 'Pulp Editorials,' which is just my fancy way of saying I'm illustrating topical subjects in my dark and exaggerated comic style. It's more in line with my natural mode of expression than what I had originally proposed for my graduate thesis, and it's allowing me to be more spontaneous and also more thoroughly entertain myself through the process. Rather than digging into the deep dark personal hole for subject matter, I'm enjoying being more outwardly focused, scanning the news and current events for ideas worth exploiting.
This is also one of my first works using the new Wacom Cintiq 22HD drawing tablet that is helping to improve my ergonomics and push some new boundaries. My wrist is much happier now, and I'm loving the process!
