April Self Portrait

Seth Young

Every now and then I like to draw a self portrait, if for nothing else than to prove to myself that I still have some life drawing skill.  So this was me from about 1:30 to 1:40 last night.

Snapper Screenprint

Here's the color scheme and rough layout of my next screen print. Don't read too much into it, just a lot of images that can sort of correspond on a subconscious level. And don't expect too much detail out of this print because we're using screen filler instead of photo emulsion, which means it will basically look painted instead of carefully registered. And we are working reductively, which I've never done before, so we'll see how this goes.

Samson

I get to take ANOTHER anatomy class this semester!! YEAH! Somehow, it has worked out that the first semester of my senior year contains NO illustration classes... go figure. Anyway, I've been trying to find other ways to fill in illustration hours. So, in addition to my joy at getting back to a little life drawing, I am happy because this class has two self guided assignments where we can incorporate this class into our major. I'm gonna do an illustration about Samson, because despite making a lot of bone-head decisions, he was a pretty BA guy. The illustration is a snapshot of him killing ONE THOUSAND Philistines with the jawbone of an ox. brutal.
I don't know how much process I'll get up on this, but I figured, "I've got the sketch scanned, I might as well."

Summer Sketches

I often sketch during Church services, lectures, discussions, or what have you (not so much Church anymore, trying to take notes, not sketch). It usually helps me focus because I can control my subconscious mind with something in my hands instead of having my mind be scattered around the room. I drew these during the summer during staff meetings and Chapel sermons. I've done others but I scanned these because I was getting rid of them. I gave them to the speaker's kid, who says he wants to grow up to be an illustrator. He's like 7!! How does he even know what an illustrator is?! Also he likes to draw monsters.
I hope he never grow out of it!

Ezekiel 6:5

This is a sketch about Ezekiel 6:5 ("The most hardcore book of the Bible" - Nate Cariveau), where God tells the Israelites that he will "Lay [their] bones round [their] altars" because they have left him to worship idols. This will be turned into a screen print for my Intro to Print Paper Book Class.
Hopefully it comes out well!
