Getting Hairy

After an interesting adventure in NYC this weekend I approached some new sketches in a more hairy approach.  Having a lot of time on trains allowed me to experiment with coloring in photoshop instead of just posting pen sketches as a usually do.

Coming soon! Mythical creatures?? Sure. Why not.

Also here's a rendering of Samuel Beam (Iron and wine) if he doesn't shave his beard off soon.

Sneaking + Hairy

I thought I was done drawing buildings...?

Well I recently received a commission to draw some of Buffalo's architectural golden nuggets. On the way is yet another city hall and the Guaranty Building as well. Here's what I've gotten done so far...

M&T Building

Richardson Complex

I've got some awesome new sketches to dump on here soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

Back in the saddle!

Sorry for the extensive absence that has expanded over four months! Now that I have graduated I finally have time to get back into the swing of things. Having left in October, a lot has happened since. The week after my last post I went out to Zucotti Park to join the masses for an occupy wall street demonstration. 

Somehow I managed to get interviewed.

During this event I started a new concentration: The Proud Pidgeon.

Inspired to make a piece political I started working with eagles. However, the normal American citizen is not an eagle. We aren't predators, nor are we few in number. I feel our indentity is more akin to a pigeon in those regards. We are strong in number, each individually unique, and capable of making our presence known when we gather together. What started out as a few wheatpastes around wall street started to 

infiltrate my artwork.

I've got a lot of other things to bring up to date other than pigeons and politics so hopefully soon I can show more of what I have been up to. Thanks for dropping by and lets make this the best 

New Year yet!!! 

Be Heard!!!!

If you haven't yet been paying attention to current events, Occupy Wall street is on to its third week and growing in momentum. For those who don't know this protest consists of a myriad of organizations, demanding economic equality and Stricter laws to govern corporations and their participation in government. It is the greed and near sightedness of corporate America that is destroying our country's future (including its people's). I'm heading down to NYC this weekend to lend my support to Occupy Wall street. Wherever you are try and make your voice heard. This is a battle against the injustices that our government have permitted to slip through the cracks. It's time to redeem this once glorious nation. 

For the first time in my own life I feel a burning patriotic desire to defend my country. If you feel the same way please visit occupywallstreet.org and take part in a country-wide plea for change. Fellow Buffalonians, please visit Occupy Buffalo's Facebook page to find out when our rallies are. Thank you!

Ill get off my soapbox now...

So after 3 weeks My 25 architectural illustrations are complete! Here are a few more that I made over a 12 hour drawing streak. If you don't mind I'm going to busy myself with building some maps as well. Enjoy!

Buffalo gets a make-over!

Well not exactly. For a new project at EMA, I am hand drawing 24 locations in  buffalo for a booklet. This will range from Shea's theatre, Darwin Martin house, Nash house, and St. Paul's to name a few. Here is a little taste of what I've been working on. More to come soon!

The Big Tip Off Begins!

Recently at Eric Mower I was given a few hours to come up with a banner teaser for the advertising club of buffalo. The event is a fundraiser for a scholarship fund. After a few hours this what we came up with. The background can be attributed to Jordan Case, my awesome overseer of operations.

Oh, and I made had to do some packaging too. Hand die-cuts! Woooo!
