recent work (art school)

Currently I am in the process of completing my first year (of four) at the PA College of Art and Design. Was going to major fine art, but am switching to illustration next year. Anyway, school has consumed all of my creative energy, though I’m not complaining. I’m learning and improving, and making some interesting work. Here are some highlights. Mostly 2D design, drawing, and a couple digital photography pieces.

“A few years ago Quin was hit by a car and the incident has caused her some great difficulties, though the drivers insurance covered many things the statute of limitations has now run out and this wonderful girl has been left with three missing teeth! (At the time of the accident she was too young to receive dental implants)

Partnering with artist Matt Deterior, The Candy Factory are hosting an art auction on Feb 18th to help raise Money for Quin.”

As a side note, at this event will be some of the LAST COPIES of the now OUT-OF-PRINT 1st issue of Drawing Blanks, packaged with a copy of the new issue, and an original screenprinted flyer. Come by, support my friend, and snatch those up!

My comics typically rely heavily on words, almost more so than images. I made this comic because I wanted to break away from that comfort zone, and do a comic that communicates almost soley through images.
