Project365, #88: Chewie Needs A Shave

Tonight the insanely talented Chris Schweizer signed copies of his newly released sketchbook. He's such a nice guy he took the time to sketch each one individually for everyone in line. Per my request, here is Chewbacca shaving his face. Fan-damn-tastic.

Split kicking his price on premium hardwood flooring so low that it makes quite a HARD TARGET. Yeah?!?!

Project365, #83: Creature Feature

Some times at work it hard to tell which of us is the child.

Project365, #82: Pooh Cloud

Sadly I only had my iPhone to snap the image of a Winnie the Pooh cloud.

Project365, #81: Time Travel #21 (Blink)

Meet my newest roommate, Jackie's kitty, Blink. She finally seems to not hate me.

"Food Drunk"

Self-portrait for photography class. First of three. Irony. Get it? GET IT?!

Project365, #77: The Joy? of Sex

Project365, #76: Time Travel #17 (The Human Landscape 3)

Both models now!

Project365, #75: Time Travel #16 (The Human Landscape 2)

Male nude. So much hair. "Interesting" guy.

Project365, #74: Time Travel #15 (The Human Landscape)

Broken Hand. Not easy to type. Apologize for curtness, Anyhow...

Nudes! Using the body as "landscape" was my aim. First up, our nude female model:

Project365, #73: Time Travel #14 (Ouch)

Broke my knuckle, a metacarpal, and my wrist at work. Typing is difficult obviously. Word use will be sparse.

Depth! (that's what she said). Finally we have moved on to aperture/f-stop/depth/z-plane! Simple assignment here: get a clear fore-, mid-, and background with distinctions between each. Voila!

Project365, #71: Time Travel #12 (The Gates of Hell)

How bad is GPC? Just past this wall in their parking garage is the river Styx. And the band Styx is there too. The horror...

Project365, #70: Time Travel #11 (Two Tickets)

I can't help but create stories for just about every thing I find. Inanimate objects, especially. While on campus I spotted a small raffle ticket. Instantly I decided it was lost. If it's owner had kept it perhaps that could have won that big price and their life would have been that much better. CLICK. Then the sun came out, elevating this sad tale to "Holy Fuck I Found A Winning Ticket!" Below is my attempt to capture to opposing stories with the same item.

Project365, #69: Free Comic Book Day

How quickly the year has passed. Here we are again with another Free Comic Book Day. This year it consisted of a brief stop by Oxford Comics to say hello to Domo and Irene and then on to Criminal Records to see Hunter, Remington, and Cara. If you are not familiar with these artists, do yourself a favor, click their names, and "ooh" and "ahhh" at their work.

After everyone closed up shop, it was time from some nerdcore, silver age hip hop, courtesy of Adam WarRock and Tribe One. Is you like hip hop and you know what the Infinity Gauntlet is, you'll dig these guys. They've got songs about "girl comics," a great one about Dr. Who, and a fantastic track all about Chris Schweizer's Crogan Series.

Free comics, talented, cool folk, and nerd rap. Good times.

More light-doodles!

Project365, #67: Time Travel #9 (Photography Class 3)

It's almost July and I'm backing posts to early May. So far behind. Thank goodness for my time machine...

....zzzzrk...

SHUTTER SPEED! Finally out of Auto-mode I was able to play with the white balance and shutter speed, but that's it thus far. Can't touch any other settings per prof's suggestion.

Initially we took some photos around campus, working in dark, shaded, and sunny areas. Some of those may show up in another post. However, one day, we got to spend hours in a dark room drawing with penlights. Aside from the "ooh let's spell the alphabet!" I ended up with some very interesting "accidents."

Part one:

Bzzzzt....flux capacitor allows us to travel to...

Third photography class brought yet another challenge. First we had to chose the item we had with us that meant the most. For me it was my old beaten composition notebook I use to draft scenes and jot down ideas. From there we had a limited area (again) in which we had to take photos of the object fitting four different themes: it weighs 10,000 lbs, light as a feather, isolation, and "creeper." It was far more difficult than I expected, as my object was not ideal. Thankfully we only had to choose two themes, a photo each, to present. Here is "isolation" and "creeper."
