Good morning, Colossus drawings

My friend Matt Zellmer asked me if I could do some illustrations for his latest poetry book. So I did. And here they are.

This is the cover.

An illustration for Matt's poem, "Glass Kites."

An illustration for a haiku.

An illustration for a poem Matt wrote about the life of Doc Holiday. 

Matt also asked me if I could do a small logo for his "company" which was named "Wine and Plague Press." So I did.

It was great working with Matt and doing something cool for him. I hope you liked the illustrations! Can't wait to see the finished book!

Painting 1 work

For this painting we had to use different colors than were in the actual image. We had a lot of freedom to pick and choose, with the really only limitation being avoiding dark greys, blacks and browns. This painting is Acrylic on Illustration board.


Here is my final painting for Painting 1 over the summer. Our assignment was to incorporate multiple images into one painting and create some sort of connection between them. I used cassette tapes, a grammaphone, two arrows, an eyeball, a diagram of a camera lens, and text from a mewithoutYou song, all incorporated into Turner's famous "slave ship" painting. Acrylic paints on canvas.

Retro Book Cover idea - The Dark Tower

Reworking a book cover in Typography. I liked the idea of doing a retro cover. This image is just from me messing around in illustrator, but I like where it's going.
