Spiritual Warfare

Hey all, this is a personal piece that I've been working on- in all it took about 20-25 hours to complete. It was fun to work on and do some experimenting with. I hope yall enjoy it.

war

so i 've been following what's been going on in the middle east since war erupted again. it seems like more missiles are being fired and more people are dying and it doesn't seem like either side will back down. i read the iranian leader has said that israel is like a tumor in the arab lands. now with thinking like that from him and other radical muslims it seems this may never truly end.

"Yesterday"

This was the Chris Payne Conversation assignment. I wanted to show two old friends sharing stories and memories from the past. This was done in oil. I've also updated my website with these two new illus. I shipped some other stuff home, so I'm just waiting for it.

Society of Illustrators Show

We're all finally home from the Illustration Academy so I finally have some time to post this picture. This is Fields and I at the Society of Illustrators Reception for the student competition. The other people in the picture are Neal, Danny, and Doug, who also got several pieces in the show. We all attended the Academy last summer together so it was a fun reunion. Danny also attended this sumer. Its definately a must see if your in NY.

This is Chris Payne's assignment from the academy. It had to be a piece showing conversation. Hope you guys like it. Miss seeing your faces around here!

Conceptual Celebrity Portrait

For Anita Kunz's assignment I decided to do a portrait of Miles Davis. My concept is based on a few things I found during my research. The first thing I discovered was that he was called the "Picasso" of Jazz. This led me to Picasso's blue period- which obviously ties in with Cool Jazz. The final part of my concept came when one of my teachers told me that when Miles was getting really old, in the later part of his career, he held the trumpet at his chest. People thought he was in this slumped-over position because he was cool, but really it was because he was old and could not hold up his instrument. I immediately thought of the painting of the guitarist by Picasso. I used the composition and pose from his painting and also tried to use a similar pallette, leaving the instrument as the warmest part. I really enjoyed doing this piece and have since realized that this is a direction I want to pursue.
