filthy fingers

22" x 30"

Just a huge drawing I did years ago I finally got around to scanning in and piecing together.

Portfolio 30 FINALLY out!!

Yay for everyone who's in it! I thought my page looked a little yellow compared to the original, but everyones looks great so maybe it's all just in my head.

And good luck to anyone who submitting to SOI too! I gave my submissions in today...

mom and dad!

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on putting the show together for us, and shame on anyone who didn't show up! This is the first time I was ever sad leaving school. This was the first school I wanted to get up and go to everyday.

stupid GD monkey

Agghh another weekend went by without me doing practically any work for school!! I just finished this "monkey assignment" for Cheryl and Stan... I guess. We had to make a painting of a monkey doing something a human would do, I chose to make a gorilla cameo so I can keep on with the framed theme. It didn't come out just as I wanted, but I just don't have the time. It didn't come out as well as the last assignment they gave us...

10cc - Rubber Bullets

I finished this song lyric assignment for Eric White and Steve Ellis. Now, I only have a bunch of things I still haven't started for them! I'm a little dissapointed in that class. I thought for sure I would get a lot of portfolio pieces out of it. This is cute I guess, but I think it looks really "student made." I'm sure I'll bring it to the review, but I doubt I'll include it in the final portfolio.

LYRICS HERE

blue bouquet sketch

This story is about a man who is attacked by another man with a machete in the night. The assailant tells the man about how he's taking only blue eyeballs. His girlfriend wants a bunch of them as a bouquet, on a whim. 

dream assignment

Eric White and Steve Ellis assignment. I was supposed to mix three different styles but fuck it. 

It's based on a nightmare I had of being bullied and drugged and used up late at night in the lower east side. I accepted a ride from a sketchy cabbie who flew me straight home to my parents house on LI.

trailer park revisited

For Sal's class, he simply wanted us to paint an environment. 

Dean's list

Senior pictures today. Sooo much anxiety. But did I make the Deans list? Yes. Are you proud of me? I am. And you can tell I mean it. By the way I framed it.

portfolio pieces?

This top piece is the "childhood trauma" assignment for Steve and Eric. The story is from my first week of third grade, I was the new kid in school. A clique of girls pretended to be my friend so they could get me close enough to squirt ketsup at me. I liked the yellow for mustard better against the pink.

This bottom one is for the short story "The I is Never Alone." A 15 yr old boy is thrown into the sea when the ship he was on was sunk. He spent the rest of his days on an empty island with only a box of mirrors that washed ashore and the birds to keep him company.
