new year, new work

this month has slowly cranked and spluttered into action. i've been finishing up my school applications and making a drawing of a house. it's not quite sublime yet, but it's a workable blueprint for getting there, and encompasses most of what's been on my mind lately: monuments, constancy, repetition, grace.





i'm also wrapping up my participation in the sketchbook project, which i started last fall. if you have ever wondered what i dreamed about between the months of august and october 2010, well, it's coming to a library near you! here's a taste of the journal's contents:



it is not final yet, but there is a 99% chance that i will start work as a web designer for UCLA in the coming weeks. i'm excited about no longer being dependent on the us government. hopefully i'll still have time to draw some roman aqueducts.

seasonal allergies, life, et al

i've been exhausted lately, but in a good way. or in a bad way, if you judge me according to my blog output. i made these drawings last night while watching the entire canon of radiohead music videos. give it up to thom yorke for consistently visualizing a world of blue-grey urban alienation.




the subject of this metaphor is open to interpretation.

i'll be switching jobs in the next few weeks. i will have more time to do arty things both in my personal and my professional life, which is a very liberating feeling. one of which is working on a new animation titled 'dreams about flight'. can't wait to actually have some footage to post!

2 comix for the price of 1

hopefully the last comic explains the anticapitalist title and intentions of the series? maybe maybe? i've been -SURPRISE- busy with one thing or another, but hopefully projects will start to make their way onto the internet more steadily - because trust me, they're happening. art art art, work work work, boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend. that's seriously what my life has become, with 'apply to grad school' as an undercurrent through it all. the only thing missing is the think think existential reflection think. remember the days when we were required to read books and produce thoughts? oh man.

i bought a dslr last week. right now i'm using it to indulge my vanity on lookbook, but i trust that it will eventually be put to good use. exhibit a: in a month, i will be breaking it out at COACHELLA ELLA ELLA ELLA AYYYYYYYYY!
