Byonic Wings

Just wanted to mess around with the smoke elements I shot the other day. I'm gonna need to shoot some more photos soon!

BMX

Little design work over some photos I took a couple months ago. When I get my new camera I'm gonna try and replicate this in video. There are a couple more on my flickr page.

Shoulder Pads

I built some shoulder pads, so i decided to shoot a girl wearing them! There are a couple more photo's on my flickr page! I made a matching goalie mask!

Sweet 100 Bird Paintings

The show is up, so here are the photos of the entire paintings! They're 18"x18", mixed media on canvas. Check out Sweet 100 if you wanna buy one!

Smoke and Light Test

I took some photo's with this model a couple months ago. I needed to add some designs to the photos. I finally got around to doing a photo shoot testing smoke and lights. Here is the final composite.

WE DID IT!!!

I had the honor of celebrating with a few hundred thousand people as our new President was elected! That might have been the most people I've ever seen gathered in one place! It was a pretty epic event! I love Chicago!!!

Sweet 100

Some close ups for an art show in Seattle, "Sweet 100". If you live in the area check it out! I'll post the full paintings when the show goes up.

I Luv Art School Girls Too!

It's been awhile since my last post. I just finished a super evil photo shoot with Surachai. There's a couple more pics up on my flickr page!

THE WOMPRATS TRILOGY

Chicago used to have a 24hr film festival called "The Fast Forward Film Festival". You would gather at Atomics Coffee at 8pm and get a topic. Then you had until 5pm the next day to make a 3 minute film. There would be a screening that night at 8pm. Here are our entries as the Womp Rats from 3 separate festivals.


Our first festival entry was entitled "First Kiss". Being that it was our rookie season we only received and honorable mention.


Second time around the Womp Rats produced "Estrus". Unable to place, we were given Best Technical Video. Our prize was a betamax camera with a box of tapes!


The final chapter in the Womp Rats trilogy was "Thats Spooky". This time around we where able to clench the grand prize!!!

Good To Sea

Video I helped out with last summer (camera man). Just thought I'd give it some more press!

King Kobra

Some early press photos from the highly anticipated "King Kobra"! Here we see the King relaxing in Kobra fashion aboard his private jet

Action Movie Necessities

Just a few of the props and parts to make an action/spy movie!

The Hustler!!!

Was just doing some light tests in Photoshop and decided to throw the Hustler logo on top!

Lykke Li

I saw Lykke Li play at Schubas tonight! She's super cute! It was a pretty damn good show! I got a couple more pics of her on my flickr page.

Magicpantz Logo Build

Just another logo build for our upcoming action/spy movie King Kobra!

Here's the full piece! The dimensions are 48"x18". It's spraypaint and acrylic on and old board.

New Byonic Logo

JoeyD made a new logo for me!

Teckno Union Army

I shot this two years ago on my Canon 20D SLR! I finally got around to editing it this week! It's for my friends band Teckno Union Army. Unfortunately, you have to see it with You Tube compression. I'll try and get one larger with a better compression soon. It is HD quality!

Owl Kind of Art Show

Little sample of my piece!!!

King Kobra Test Footage

Me and my buddy Mike are gonna make an amazing spy/action movie! We did a very rough shoot just so i could do some texture treatments to the footage. It's a working title and there will be action in the movie, not just a dude running around with a suitcase.
I'm currently working on making fake gunshot hits and fake limbs to chop off. I'll post the test videos as I finish them!

Marker Sketch 2

Another slow day at work!

Marker Sketch

Work was a little slow today. This is about all the creativity energy I had in me today.

A.C. Bananas Round 2

I added a background and shaded a little more. It still needs some work, but I'm to ADD to finish it right now.

AC Bananas

Here's a drawing i did a couple months ago that I never finished. I'll post the final when its done. He's a member of Steed Lord.

Girl in Arrows!

It's been awhile since I posted anything, so I decided to do something a little more refined. Basically I drew a Suicide Girl surrounded by arrows and colored it in Photoshop.

Firewood!!!

I just carried a half chord of wood up 3 flights of stairs. It took me twelve trips! It kinda takes the luxury out of burning wood in the city! My legs feel like Chun-Li!

Surachai Logo

Step1 : Paint in the eyes! I wasn't even nice enough to use some skin friendly make up or natural substance. Just straight acrylic in the pores!

Step 2: Swing the hue! I'm still gonna do more work on this version but for logo sake we moved on to step 3.

Step 3: Live trace! add some evil and we have a logo for Surachai!

Marker Sketch

Just something to kill the time while I wait for my sore throat to heal. I watched "Across the Universe" today! Pretty inspiring.

Sketch of girl with short hair

Girl With Knitted Hat

I've seen a lot of girls with nice knitted caps the past couple of day's!

Girl With Hood

Quick sketch before bed. Little to tired to care about the hair. I'll probably regret it in the morning.

Farewell to Public Smoking

We'll miss you!
