Back to the Book

Sketchbook! Media experiments! Yeah!

I've had a couple of these pages sitting in my book as pencil drawings for over a month now, and figured it was time to see how big a mess I could make out of them. All in all I'm pleased.

Right then. Back to work.

Thesis Parade, Part Trois!

Our young hero and his stalwart cube companion have lost their way! And more pressing still they're being watched! Who is this shifty serpentine specimen scaling the shadowy canopies?

Here our hero has heard a noise! Upon investigation he finds the mighty Bullcube, struggling to pass through the only foe to ever have defeated his unparalleled head ramming capabilities, a locked gate!

I'll tell you, if it isn't obvious, I had a lot of fun with this.

Thesis Parade, Part Deux

This is Legs (Fig 1.1). He's distressed.

Fig 1.1

Our protagonist (we have one of those you know, this is a story) on his journey through the woods (what woods you ask? you know, the woods) finds Legs (amongst many parenthetical statements) in this state, distraught!

All of Legs's friends, you see, have swam across the river, but Legs is too scared to try to cross. A previous attempt to swim (Fig 1.2) resulted in a terrifying failure!

Fig 1.2

But our protagonist knows better! Keenly noting the tremendous length of Legs's legs (see all Figures) he is quick to point out a serious oversight.

"But you're so tall! You can probably just wade across! Have you tried?"

"I could? Hey! You're right! I can!" And so he did. (Fig 1.3)

And there was much rejoicing. (Fig 1.4 et. all)

Just the same as in my last post, all photography is by Kenneth Sterling Gronquist

Triumph!

It's been a little over a month since I posted last, but it's been a very very busy month. A month of finishing my thesis/spring project thingy, getting it framed, putting it up, graduating, packing, and driving. Busytown. So! This means it's time to share!

Today we have the King of the Forest, and man is he thrilled to be here.





I'm not really entirely sure what noise he might be making. I was very solid on the idea that he'd be doing a nice, full throated "Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr," but I'm open to suggestions. Any ideas?


All photography by Kenneth Sterling Gronquist, who was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Sketchbook? Sketchbook? Again?!?

Sketchbook! Now with additional photoshop playtime on top! That top one may resurface in the future...

Figure Painting! Cowboy time!

Cowboy time! Yeah!

Sketchbooooooook!

More Sketchbooktown! Here we have some figure drawings I did over spring break in New York at the Society of Illustrators and the direct result of looking at a lot of McBess, who is wonderful.

Yes indeed. More to come in the future.
