here is where i am with the mccain portrait. it is basically him with the "war hear portrayal. as far as concept goes just from glancing at it i want it to look like a propaganda poster making him look like a military "hero" but the type inside all the space reads as follows:

on his face/head - "bush 2.0"
on his thumbs up hand - "tax cuts for the rich"
on his outer coat - "i am one of you"
his inner shirt / tie - "i own 8 mansions"
the yellow shape in the background is a sillohuette (however thats spelled) of IRAN with a bomb shape in the middle of it.
the plane shapes above read "war for oil"

as for the huge burgundy blobs, they are a germanica type which i played around with trying to get kind of an arabic feel. i feel they may be a bit too heavy though..........

so a buddy of mine went to st. paul/mineapolis for the RNC.........

looks like he had a blast.........

inspiration

so last night i was walking over to the corner store 2 blocks up from my place. and some dude knocks on the window and flashes his wang at my friend and i. this dude apparently sat up in that window for the next 3 hours and creepily looked at everyone that walked by, im assuming he showed everyone else passin through his peeter as well. people like that guy inspire me, there is nothing more inspirational to me than some pervert showing me his cock and balls while im trying to walk to the store.

moving out.....

this WAS my "workspace". i'll post pics of my new workspace once i get it done.............

just some random work.....

so i dont really have anything particularly school related to post at the moment but i just needed to get the blog started so i thought i'd share a couple of creative projects i did over the summer. enjoy:




that particular clip was shot by doug from Upthink Lab (the company i did the campaign for last semester).







this particular painting ended up being the most time i've ever wasted on photoshop, it is 87 pictures all pasted into one. the painting is stretched down a hallway so there is no way to get a good shot of the wall.....

i also got a new camera of my own and caught some cool shots while i was up in NYC.

all done

so, i think i've completely convinced all my neighbors that i am completely strung out on meth the past couple of nights that i've stayed up working on all this portfolio stuff. i feel my portfolio has ALOT of things wrong with it, and i truly am very insecure with its turnout. then again, im an insecure person in general i suppose. oh well, you live you learn. i am really trying to work on my organizational skills and time management skills. i guess it just comes over time, bleh. anyways. props to everyone who got their work together for review.........
