JIMMY SMITS WEEK

Get into it.

I thought this was important or something

So I drew it:



a couple new things here.

Semester's almost over, so look for a big post soon.

Get a blog, bro

It's been a while, but here's some new stuff



Cole



Never get tired of drawing the gonz



Spanky



Space Giraffe

So I guess I'm a student at the Academy of Art, now? More like the Academy of Fart. Anyway, I posted some of my projects from this past semester up on Facebook, so there's that.

Cheadle Mobile

Some miscellaneous madness

Here's a new banner I made for butte college, part of the celebration of the local wildlife series of banners.

Neither the picture or the sewing job do it justice.  "Japanese salary man wants to kill himself."

Rick Howard for Fourstar.   Nothin' like takin' money out of the pockets of companies you'd actually be happy to support.  I didn't realize till it was on the shirt that it reads like "pornstar."  Sorry Rickk!  Here, have some free adspace that noone will see!

POPS

I tried out painter today.




okay yeah this was supposed to be anthony pappalardo, but he looks more like a sad old black man

Justice League With Mustaches

Reynolds Forever

From an old Thrasher. I'm actually in an ad the page right before the Reynolds interview, in the background at berkeley. Now that I think about it, I might fill in some of that open space in the bottom right hand corner. The problem with the reference picture is there's type right there.



I think this might be the first time I've actually drawn something, scanned and posted it all in the same day

Barack Obama vs. Richard Gere in Space

Lo Down

A couple of semesters ago, I had math with my friend Downer (of whom the Butte College Associated Students' December 8th executive meeting minutes say "...is high energy and very knowledgeable about subject").

We basically just spent the entire time asking the teacher dumb questions like if he was in Nam' or at Woodstock. That, and drawing random shit. These are some of the gifts I recieved from him throughout the class.




I guess it's a pig




us army- of monkeys.



skydiving cat

thanks, Downer.


and for the record, Mr. Reynolds was in neither in 'Nam, or at Woodstock.

Hey kids!

It's International Education Week at Butte college!  Actually, it was last semester.  One of the projects in super graphics last semester was to design a banner for it.  Almost everyone in the class hated this project.  Dylan and I were in the midst of putting up my banner a couple of weeks ago, when we were kindly informed by Daniel that The Man wanted all old banners pulled down.

 

maybe he'd have more time for bullying if he weren't so busy all the time

 

Dylan did all the hard work.  Less of an "instructor" more of a "student wrangler. "

"you better get some good shots of that thing"

The Man shut us down

The way he was posing made it seem like he took more, but the two above are the only ones I can confirm as Dylan shots.

I showed my shots to my uncle chopper, master picture takerer.  He didn't seem too impressed.

He always manages to hide that left hand...

same old shit

I just spent like half an hour trying to design a new banner. Then I remembered no one reads this shit, and decided what I had fit with that theme.




"This is punk rock, kid!"

*spits in Tony Hawk's face*

Sketchbook leftovers '08

My mom found a big stack of GQ's outside by the dumpster. Not bad reads, actually.

Monster

made it in my "super graphics" class last semester. sold it to this guy for $90. he took the pictures in his studio, those aren't my marketing and action scripting books.

welcome to obama nation...

...and a post completely unrelated to it. more old shit. I just can't stop going through old trash. This was for graphic design 2, which I took...2 or 3 years ago? I'm not sure. I was tempted to go through and retouch some of the crappy elements (blown out filter effects, shoddy photograph edges) but fuck it.



I remember I did this project because I didn't like the original box art. I got sick of seeing first person shooter covers that had pictures of guys firing guns at nothing. I wanted to focus on the more dramatic aspects of the game. I guess it didn't work, because the first thing that came out of someone's mouth was that it "looked like the cover for every shooting game I've ever seen."

stupid cracker!

I got an early present

a lovely gift from my uncle chopper. It's always wonderful to see a master at work, and today I witnessed it. watching him work photoshop is like watching a gorilla eat clam chowder.

TR

Teddy Roosevelt. I was trying to exaggerate, but this actually isn't that far off from what he was really like. more historical presidential drawings to come.

Kakihara

drew this for a forum art contest thing. Kakihara cuts his tongue off, as payment for pouring tempura on the back of another yakuza. from a movie called "Ichi the Killer."

Dusty

If you see him on the street just ignore him and keep walking. you don't wanna fuck with that shit.

The Gonz

felt tip pens, 2007? from transworld's 20th or so anniversary cover.

Nothing Fancy

just bruce lee eating a baby.

some ol' dirty shit

This was for a graphic design project at butte college. I think it was graphic design 1, but anyway the assignment was to design the cover for a magazine. I made a few little tweaks to it the other day, but it's actually from about 2 years ago. on the right is, obviously, baby jesus. on the left it was supposed to be God, but I'm not sure that came out too clear. I used a random google baby for jesus, and God is Atiba's father.



this was done for some photoshop competetion ladder type deal. the winner got some shit. I wouldn't know because I got taken out in the first round by this other mexican.

he hasn't bothered to post what he beat me with up on his deviant art though.



just messing around here. jason lee and chris pastras are both awesome, so combining them both I thought would yield supernatural results. this is what I got. stereo



rented stranglehold the other day. beat it, it was fun, I'll probably never play it again (well, maybe a little, since I have the demo.) it was a fun romp, and fucking tequila is one badass chinaman. I love chow yun fat.

me: "Tequila sure likes to solve a lot of things with bullets."
jumper cables: "Tequila solves EVERYTHING with bullets!"

Egads!

another terrifying project I forgot to post.

end of semester results

here's some shit I did in my typography class this semester

this was a shirt idea I had, but I couldn't really think of a good design to accompany it.

for a project where we had to make something using only one letter

typographer profile. came up with this in a few hours after deciding to change from david carson. originally I had done david ray carson, but then changed to carlos segura when I was informed that it had to be a "famous" typographer.

I was under the impression that we had to take a quote and design it into our typographer profile. apparently this was actually another project entirely. so I whipped this up in...I can't remember how long, but it wasn't more than an hour or two probably.

another shirt design I made. I was kinda happy this one (I stole the shribblydoos from some free vector designs my instructor had lying around for us to use) but, of course when I tried to print the printer decided to shit itself to death. so I put it on a mug instead, and I'm gonna give it to this guy:
