Cosmos Illustrations

Lots and lots of illustrations for the lesser Discovery Museum's kid's newsletter hoorahhhhhh! Sigh. Volunteer work. Ah well, it's good experience and it pushes me to do something.

Mediums: Acrylics and/or micron pen on canson sketch paper

I don't know what they would use this one for

WE CAN DEFEAT THEM. WITH SCIENCE.

I was going to do one with a space alien, too. 

Hyuk hyuk hyuk

This one is my favorite Cosmos comic so far because he just pops out of goddamn nowhere hahahahaha BROUGHT TO YOU BY...

Was more experimenting with brush use... not super pleased with this one. The dog looks like a giant rat or something lol 

Uh... I realized I didn't write Cosmos at the top after I already scanned it. So... there it is. lol

This one is my favorite painted comic. I'm really digging this Mary Blair, Barbara Cooney -ish style and I want to get better at it. As for this one here... I like how the astronaut turned out, but I'm not sure how to draw more attention to Cosmos and his movement. He blends too much into the background. 

Trolling. Wellp.

Late Nights Seem Most Productive

Planning on painting something like this on the front of a friend's shoes. She wants them more... chibi-style.

... AHHHNEEEMAYYYYYYYY

I think I may also use this as my final ahahahahahahahahadjsafoewifj

Oh, and bonus. Here's a song that Charles and Adrianne found lyrics to a long while ago and I put it to music and then we found out that it's actually a song that Lindsay Lohan sings. WAH WAH WAHHHHH mine is better.

Late Night Art

Brainstorming for ideas for my art final. Pretty much a free for all. Whatever.

For these, I wanted to use typically happier and "girlier" colors [pink, purple, and orange] with light lines to make sort of angrier and heavier image content.  

I think I'm going to add text to this one just to keep it consistent with the others, but I haven't thought of placement. I like this though. I know it's bullshit to say, "I'll leave it up to the viewer to determine the meaning," but I like the idea of not knowing what he's actually doing. Maybe he's strangling someone, about to stab them. Maybe he's a really passionate butcher at a meat shop. Maybe his worst enemy just fucked his girlfriend and he's really pissed off. I don't know. 

This one came from nowhere, but I really like it. Sort of has a blunt yet vague message about pregnancy and... I don't know, obesity? Maybe it's like being sucker punched by a Justin Beiber pillow. [This is where you say, "What does that even mean?"]

Sorry for the crappy piece-together scan. I think I'll redo this one one day. 

Creepy, right?

And then this is where I gave up and went to bed. [after thought: Sleep is for the week.]
