A big man in a tiny hat.

So this is what I've been working on lately:

(I watch a lot of anime obviously)

(this one was inspired by Blood +)

If you're an anime character you can have any eye color you want! And if you're an anime character with an evil twin then you probably won't have the same eye color as your twin does because one of you is evil and genetics are irrelevant in Japan.

That one eyebrow got a little outta hand there so I didn't draw the rest of his face. Sometimes I stop caring near the end of a drawing.

eye color

no eye color

Now it gets sort of Lichtenstein-like... but gayer.

This was the first one I did.

I love anime!!!

Art? What is Art?

Flashback to my time in England:

(I posted a few pictures of this installation about a year ago... but they do not suffice.)

My installation, titled "Two Trees" uses J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium (aka The Two Trees of Valinor) to illustrate a cycle of creation and destruction. As the work was being shown I invited viewers to pick out items from the scene I had constructed and then smash said chosen items with a hammer. Then I would bring in more elements to be added to the mess so that it was never finished, just continually transformed.

This here is a pedestal that I turned upside down and poured black paint into so that when you looked inside you saw your own reflection. I hung a string from the celling and attached an empty glass jar to it, then lowered it into the pedestal. This helped draw interest as to what was on the end of the string which led the viewer to their own face at the bottom of the hole.

"Telperion and Laurelin the Silver Tree and the Gold that brought light to the Land of the Valar in ancient times. They were destroyed by Ungoliant and Melkor's, but their last flower and fruit were made by the Valar into the Moon and the Sun." -Wikipedia

Also I didn't have the internet for a while so I made this. When I showed it to my banjo teacher he said, "Marijuana's a hell of a drug." I deny any such accusations of inebriation. It was withdrawal from a lack of internet that produced this strange collection of moving images.
