The Ed Soyka Project
Thursday, November 30, 2006
this was a crazy commision i got yesterday from one of my old proffessors karen santry. The task was to do a portrait of another old proffessor and head of the F.I.T. illustration dept., Ed Soyka. He wears grey suits, talks a lot with his hands, and talks a lot in general. I had to go easy on him so he is not drawn as grotesquely as I like to draw my other characters. I had to turn this out over night so i stayed up till 6 this morning and now i want to die.

Illustration process
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
I just found this picture i took a while ago. This is the point in the night that I usually feel relieved, when all of the figures and especially the faces on the figures are drawn. It's nice to lay them all out and take a look at them before i scan them and attack drawing the background if it hasn't already been done. they are all on separate pieces of paper for easier composition changes and stuff. I have stumbled upon or reworked many illustrations into crazier compositions because of this freedom. Anyway when it is 5 am it feels a little better when these guys are all drawn out.

Boston's Weekly Dig Illustration
Tuesday, November 14, 2006
This will be a full page illustration in a coming issue. the headline, etc... will be on the facing page. It is about the difficulties immigrants in Boston have getting a driver's licence. They said it would be cool if I could include the writer's likeness in this one so he is the guy in the middle. Luckily i nailed it on the first shot so it didn't add any extra time.

This is how they ended up using the artwork for the 3 large posters. they took out the color glazes layer(red noses and such) and changed some other minor stuff. These are 3 print ads I did for them, still waiting to see how they put these together. I'm working on two more print ads for them now.

MikeSK Birthday Present
Thursday, October 19, 2006
This is MikeSK. This was his birthday present, he really looks like that and he really molested a baby walrus. I will color this someday next month when things aren't so crucial. I have some designs with his brand indieindustries.com and he is my partner in my little t-shirt endeavor coming up real soon. Don't you wish you had a 4 foot wide crotch?

This is for the Lead page of the City Pages (its in Minnesota) A-list, listing the weeks highlights. It is for this Jazz Festival they have every october and has something to do with 2 rivers, one in france and one in minnesota. Looks similar to the one i just did for entrepreneur because the art director was really into that one and wanted it to have that look.

Ad Agency Work
Wednesday, September 27, 2006
I have been working on some posters for an awards show for an ad agency and boy is it a nightmare. There are 2 dozen execs and art directors and creative directors and writers, etc... that have to approve everything before they even send it to the client to approve. I can count the revisions that i have had to make on 2 hands so far and there is more. Here are a few examples. First they wanted a normal person nothing too crazy, then i proposed this idea and they liked it, then they wanted warmer eyes, then they changed there mind and wanted a normal guy again. then they changed their mind and they want crazy funky characters which i am working on now. A few changes sure, but they have given the go ahead and approval 3 times and like 8 revisions already. They will probably change their minds again and then i will probably drop out.

Salt Lake City weekly cover revision AGAIN!
Friday, July 21, 2006
This is how it ended up looking, I found this on their website.
I had a conference call today with the paper's lawyer and some one else from the paper. They said that the dont want to take any chances and that i needed to change the faces of all the women as well now!!! So i did it, the girl with the glasses I pretty much made up so i didnt change her. 2 nights in a row of revisions, no sleep for me.
