Social Awkwardness

Sup? Don't know how many of you've seen this kind of scenario before? I was heading home from Cap the other night on the bus and there were these two 7 or 8th graders who must've been coming back from a house party or something, and were totally shit-faced. The girl started heaving on the seat beside her and the dude was like, "uhh, I'm... er... ah... not with her". It's uncomfortable enough to watch as an observer, so I can't imagine how her boyfriend was feeling at that moment.

I guess the older gentleman on the left looking at the viewer represents that side of me, and an older and wiser aging society, that looks sadly upon young kids like this one that abuse themselves so severely at those experimental ages. Oh well, we've all dabbled here and there I guess. (It's just... the thought of my daughter someday!...). Ahh, where would my inspiration come from without public transit?! (Thank god I'm finally getting some wheels this week!) (P.S. any comments are welcome guys & gals)

Le barber de Bellville

Finally, My Triplets of Bellville illustration/character design! Actually, this one started out as a 15min design challenge between some classmates and I. The topic was "bad hair day", and I liked where it was going so I put some more work into it and here it is!

This Week's Topic: ... Frustration.


Well, i think the drawing speaks for itself. I sketched this up after an all-nighter the night before my animation assignment was due. I was gonna put normal clothes on initially but i thought this was funnier. 'Till next time, peace & much luv,

(P.S. To those of you who haven't seen me in a while, yes, the fro is pretty much life size! ;)

Class caricatures


Hey 'urbody, what's happenin'? This is for our 3rd week illustration assignment for animation. Our teacher Erich asked us to pick a topic so we chose animal caricatures of our class mates. This is a little play on reality that I did of one of my class mates. I think she's a little off balance, leaning to the right too much, but hey it's good enough. Be back with more soon. Take care and much luv. Oh yeah, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
