T-Rexes were born in wee little eggs, and they came out all tiny and adorable. I know, I know: paleontologists have been saying this for years, but we never believed them because they couldn’t produce tiny adorable plushies to prove it. UNTIL NOW.
Micro T-Rex is three inches of soft and fuzzy adorable, and comes with that removable plastic keychain clip you see pictured, so he’s ready to hang out wherever you go! He is Down for Hangouts!
I would type more but he’s TOO CUTE, look at his little arms, i’m DYING
Guys these just came out today and I really think you should buy one. Only $8.50! How can you put a PRICE on LOVE
Well we’ve got T-Rex and Wee Rex, so I’m pretty sure this one will be joining us before too long.
Final project for Digital Art: 2D. We had to produce three works that related to one another but could also stand alone. I decided to pursue another idea I’d had for the “Indulgences” assignment in another class (for which I did the plush toy pile): a series of “spirits” - alcohol personified as women. Both concept and style were heavily inspired by the art nouveau works of Alphonse Mucha.
They are, from left to right, Laphroaig Scotch, Lucid Absinthe, and Smirnoff Vodka - coincidentally, the ingredients of my favorite drink. I did the initial sketches on paper, scanned them, traced them in Illustrator, and colored them in Photoshop.
Life Drawing and Anatomy final project. Based on a portrait of James Abbott McNeill Whistler by William Merritt Chase.
“The Walk”
Our time was short so we could only manage this worthless 30 minute watercolor. Final projects are brutal, amirite?
It still felt good to try, even if we failed.

Now back to homework.
Here’s the final version of the assignment on my indulgence - Micron pen and watercolor on watercolor paper.
Tried to fade out the lines and colors near the bottom to imply that the pile continues onward but the work focuses on the top.
Top row, left to right: Chip (cat), Roquefort (sheep), self-portrait, Snorlax, Pinkie (elephant), Tristan (coyote), Mako
Second row: Pochama, Wee Rex, Ears (bunny), Cheeseburger, Buttermilk (cow)
Third row: Bear of Ultimate Cuteness, Tom Araya, Espresso (bear), Silky (cat), Oliver (owl), Rufus (dog), Catbus, Chococat, Hello Kitty
Almost invisible last row: Octoproxy 1 and 2, Sirius Black (horned owl)
Inked version of my previous post. Tomorrow I add watercolor.
Final projects are starting up so things are getting busy. I’ve got some neat stuff in the works but it’s gonna take some serious crunch time to get it all done. In the meantime, here’s the photo reference I will be using for my next watercolor illustration. The theme is “Indulgences”.
I… I have a lot of plush toys. This is just a tiny fraction of my collection. You may recognize a few of my own designs (cheeseburger, Tom Araya), plus Wee Rex (and a bit of his load-bearing big brother). My Rob Halford plush lying atop the pile is a stand-in and will be replaced in the final by a plush toy of myself. The pink elephant (Pinky) is perhaps my oldest surviving plush toy (I’m guessing 26-27 years old).

Oh snaaaaaaaaaaaap Legend of Zelda and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery combined, via Chris Furniss. Which reminds me, it’s almost a full moon, I gotta start sworcerizing again…
Here are some detail pics of the preceding post. Covered bridges, mailboxes, chimneys, grocery stands, and a water wheel for the mill. Trains have locomotives and coal cars, plus passenger and/or freight cars, and some have a caboose.
My latest project for Digital Art: 2D was a proposal for a site-specific artwork. I decided I wanted to build a miniature landscape on the ledge of a weird wooden structure in the art building.
Originally I tried painting in the landscape with Photoshop, but on Saturday I realized this would be way cooler as isometric tiles like in tactical RPGS. That meant starting over from scratch, so the scope of the project was reduced somewhat. It also meant calculating the relative dimensions of the space from a single photo so that the proposal matched the location. If built, the installation would actually be made out of tiles, maybe via a 3D printer?
Unfortunately showing off this work is tough because of the scale… so I’m having to use a whole mess of pics.
