The paper

It started flat like this after I put the design on. The color came out dark from my printer though.

These are just WIP prototypes. I got the template from Cubeecraft.com. (Chris Beaumont) check out his site, he has tons of designs. I recently met him at Kingcon 2010 because he is really a cool person to talk to. I really enjoyed creating the designs and printing on paper and then assembling a physical model.

Dr Sketchy in nyc in their temporary space. It was nice to draw again from life. The place was full of people and I was late so therefore it was hard to find space to draw. I attempted to draw despite the distance. I scanned a page and painted on top with photoshop.

WIP
I came up with this idea when I saw a theme for milk and cookies.
One day I woke up with an image in my mind of planes dropping milk while it was raining.I don't remember the ground but I would think that it would be made of cookies.

Visual Representation of what is happening in my head. It also serves as a learning device. For the visual learner, like myself, seeing what I should see makes it easy learn it and also remember. Relative location and structural relationship makes it easy to digest.

TOTEM siblings

since they are relatively the same size. I wanted to see them stacked up. More narrow faces and less like a box. Imagining them in different arrangements. It occurred to me as I was waking up that I have seen heads on totems poles and I am probably influenced by their designs. Like most art, It needs something more. I have yet to discover what that is.
