This was the Yule present I made for my wonderful boyfriend, Fred. We <3 Gorgons :)
At the moment, I do not have access to photoshop, so the photos of these paintings are very washed out. I hope to fix this soon.

Don't Drink and Drive
Don't Drink and Drive, Graphite and Ink
2009
Latest Time-Art's monstrosity: We had to create a 2-page graphic novel spread. We had to create a narrative that involved someone getting drunk and deciding to drive, being warned not to drive drunk, doing it anyway, and dying. We also had to incorporate 3 different gutter-transitions.
So, here is my graphic novel, which I personally think should be handed out in pamphlets to kids. I threw this together last night, and I for transitions I used moment to moment, action to action, and a sweet non-sequetor.
Because I don't drink, I thought it would be funny (and maybe a bit predictable) to cast myself as the drunk driver. Not that this isn't like me when I used to drink. Really, it's why I had to stop. If I didn't, Ragnarok was imminent. You can thank me for your life by purchasing my art.So, here is my graphic novel, which I personally think should be handed out in pamphlets to kids.

St. Courtney, Our Lady of the Baked Goods and Sweet Moves
2009
Backtracking a bit, here is the birthday present I made for my BFF/roomate, Courtney. Because she is a saintly friend, I decided to take it upon myself to canonize her with this Icon painting. I tried to capture the traditional Byzantine stylization of Icon paintings, being a mixture of classical modeling and medieval complete disregard of naturalization. Being a broke ho', I didn't bother trying to obtain any goldleaf. That's a acrylic gold background. Don't tell Courtney.

Illustration and narrative by Me. Assignment for Illustration Painting I
Black Planet
Eons ago, throughout the whole of their existence, humanity was obsessed with the end of the world. Despite this obsession they brought about their own demise. They were thwarted by their own sentience: their attempt to achieve god-hood with mastery over the microbe, the atom, the elements and nature. These creatures tore away at each other like rats, fighting over life sustaining resources, hoarded by the upper rungs of society. The lower classes were lost in the fray. All war-fodder: some used as soldiers, others helpless victims to these chess-games of global industry. A dark alchemy of industrial contamination, global-scale murder, and the devouring of resources could not be tempered by the last weak efforts of the few toward preservation. Epidemics emerged, the numbers of the dead metastasized like the sicknesses in their bodies. Eco-systems died out and eliminated all sources of food. Desperate wars over the last farmlands and water-sources killed off the majority. In the end, the upper echelon of society were able to buy themselves the luxury of dying last. But the world did not end.
A ghostly terrain roles out from the mists, like a real Domos Aidaou. The ancient remains of a domicile crumbles in this forest, ruins of a society forever forgotten with the death of human consciousness. For now the only stirring in this world is the movement of contaminated flora and fauna. The trees hum with a poisonous bioluminescence. Scurrying forth from many generations of mutation, the cacophony of a thousand gnarled creatures can be heard in the darkness. The occasional darting retina can be spied by lurking predators in between glowing branches and leaves. The steaming and hissing of a once toxic steam now gently licks the faces of the horrid creatures and lurching tendrils as they reach into the water for nourishment.
Throughout the eons, the pendulum swings. The world will never end. Though ravished through the ages by predatory giants – from the dinosaurs to humanity – Nature will not be victimized. She will always prevail.

Ecstatic Visions
A while back I went a day and a half without my meds. During this time, we did our first exercise in my Digital tools class: Create a self portrait in photoshop using only filters. One Geometric, one organic, and one combination of the two. These ended up being very apt representations of my state of self that day. Enjoy.

This last one is my favorite. I feel like it is especially successful in conveying my brain-zaps. I won't go without my medication ever again.

Yggdrasil
Graphite and ink
2009
I have been working on the same project for 4 days straight. It is finally complete. I HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO YGGDRASIL. This illustration is so fucking busy I fear it will give my classmates seizures. Honestly, I'm not too satisfied with the composition, I do believe that I will lose points due to it's busy-ness. But I love it when I don't think of it as an assignment. I love it even more when I imagine subjecting people on mushrooms to it. I had to put it away, as every time I look at it I notice something else that I want to tweak and realizing how endless I have made this project I collapse into a panic attack. Now that's good art.
