NEW ART // “Tree”

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I just finished a new illustrated-photo work, called “Tree”.  It’s pretty NSFW (lots of nakedness), so if you want to see the actual piece, click here, or on the preview pic above.

I’ve been wanting to do this idea for a couple of years now, but never quite had the right logistics.  I’ve always liked the look you get when you blow ink around with a straw, and one day, my mind started wandering, and I thought “what if a human grew like that?”  I’ve also had mutants on my mind a lot lately, since I’ve been playing so much Fallout 3. haha…

Probably won’t have mich new art here for a little bit.  I’m scurrying like crazy on stuff in preparation for my move back to California, but I will see you soon!

PS: Ryan started a blog for Electric Ant recently, and I post some fun art there occasionally.

NEW ART // “Metal”

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Just finished a new illustrated-photo piece, and this one marks the return of the Robot Army series…

This piece features my friend Dawon, as a chromed-up android.  The previous series (which you can find on the bottom of the People Photography page), featured a military theme, with very rough & tumble, gritty looking machines, loaded down with gadgets.  For this piece, I wanted to channel a little of my fondness for Hajime Sorayama, and go with a smoother, more shiny aesthetic.

Since Dawon is my longtime muse, and a very good model, I was lucky to have many good shots from that afternoon, but unfortunately, those all went when my hard drive died this past fall.  Luckily I had a few left over – enough to make one piece.  This year should bring many more robots!
