Gouache Resist Bunny

So this is a Gouache Resist I did a little while ago. Basically what that means is you paint the picture you want, then cover the entire piece in India Ink, and let it dry. You then run the entire thing under water, and the ink is repelled from the gouache paint. So anything not painted (meaning any paper showing) is going to turn black, and you get some cool dropout effects with the ink, as shown.

Also, I've been really into these carnivorous rabbits lately, I don't know why, but they're fun.

Ghost-Tiger Fish

I had this weird idea in class the other day when my students were taking a quiz about camouflage ghost animals. So I sort of just took this tiger fish and made its stripes camo-colored, and purposely disregarded the outline to give it a sort of ghostly look. I wanted the stripes to make up the outline of the fish, and it came out pretty sweet I thought.

Sandcrab Sunrise

A repost of the cover of my "hopeful" children's book I want to get published. Been working on it on and off for about 4 years. Someday...

Rockets On Wire

An album cover I illustrated for the band Rockets On Wire

It's so furry I'm gonna die!

Another sketch I did because I haven't drawn in ages.

Froggin' It

A quick Pen & Ink drawing I did up on an off period while I was teaching last week. It's a frog on a crazy tree.

"Ant farm"

This is a sculpture I made for a project called "The Altered Book," where we had to somehow use a book any way we wanted to tell a story. I decided to make it into an ant farm by using a bandsaw to cut up a landscaping book and glue it together to look like the dirt portion of the ant farm. I then used a router to cut out the pathways and added some real grass and dirt etc. The entire thing was made from scratch, from the wooden frame to the arrangement of glass. This piece ended up being the showcase to the Graduate Show at Adelphi University.

They call me Porterhouse

A quickie watercolor I did in-between teaching, this is part of my "Weird Rabbits" series I just do to mess around with. He's all over that T-bone steak right now.

Bunny Sketch

Just a quick sketch of a random Rabbit. Again, children's book potential.

CamoShark

I haven't posted in a while. Like, 2 years. So here is a little doodle I drew up in-between teaching a few 8th grade Art classes, probably a preliminary stage of another children's book character. It's a camouflage shark, because that's how he rolls.
