Ezekiel 6:5



Here is the final print of Ezekiel 6:5 (the actual title). It came out really well, and I hope I can get a hold of a screen and keep with the medium.

A Bully Story


This was the final for my Illustration Topics Class. The subject was rainforest, and the story goes that Teddy Roosevelt, while hunting in the Amazon witnessed the massacre of a cow by a school of piranha. This illustration had to be painted large enough to still print clearly on a 30x40" banner print, which was part of the assignment.
"They will rend and devour alive any wounded man or beast; for blood in the water excites them to madness." -Teddy Roosevelt, "Through the Brazillian Wilderness"

Children's Book Final




The final for my Children's Book Class involved making a dummy (rough draft) book and illustrating three of the pages. My story involved a rabbit who can't sleep so he goes on an adventure with his turtle friend that brings him into space, until he falls asleep and is faced with the question, "Was it real?"

Lusty Worm

Since I finished my screen print final, I still get access to a screen and printing facilities for a week. So I took a sketch and made some extra prints.

Original Sketch

Silver ink test print.

Black ink test print.











The image was burned off of plain paper instead of transparency or xante, so it's kind of grainy (if that doesn't make sense, it just means I went cheaper and quicker). So the idea was to take a deadly sin and turn it into a monster (actually one of my ideas for senior project).
Thanks to Dylan Davis, who gave me the colorful paper. What a swell guy.

Clifford


This was my first screen print. YAAAY! The North Dakota punk band Clifford has not to my knowledge had the chance or funds to make any merch to sell at their shows. So I used this assignment to make some prints they could sell. I hope people buy them!

Roanoke


This was a mixed media print consisting of linoleum cut over xerox print of a collage. The space on the left was left for a binding, as it was later made into a book with similar prints contributed by the rest of the class members. The prints in the book centered on the theme "Lost" (luckily no one mentioned the TV show); mine deals with the missing colony of colonial Roanoke Virginia. When the British suppliers to the village returned one year, the found the population gone with no clue to their whereabouts other than the word "Croatoan" carved in a tree in the village.
