Trump Doesnt Need Truth Tellers When He Has His Sharpie #ABlueView🧵1/3

Emboldened by the total NONreaction to his firing the head of the govt.'s statistics agency because he didn't like economic reality, Trump will employ his magic, reality-transforming Sharpie a lot more.

Art based on Dragon Age: Inquisition

Throwback to some of my earliest work.

This was my first exercise in playing with text-based illustration. I used a helmet from the game Dragon Age: Inquisition for the frame and filled it with character names/items/etc.

Charcoal pencil illustration of a simple scene. Stripped the scene down to its simplest forms while still keeping the most important details.

*Some warping due to age of the paper*

Critical Space Poster

Original painting

'Critical Space' - Samantha Goodman.
She asked me to create the poster for the show.

The show was about human nature - the good and the bad. These oil paintings captured everyday scenes depicting candid perspectives of life.

Chinese Calligraphy Workshop Poster

I had the opportunity to work with my former professor of foreign language to create a Chinese calligraphy workshop poster.

Decided to stick with simplified letter forms to keep it approachable.

Redesigned logo

Mock up

Original logo

Logo style guide

A fun logo redesign for a golf course not long ago.

Redesign needed to be adaptive, as the old one wasn't exactly fit for that. They also wanted to aim for a more adventurous, positive vibe.

Needless to say, it's a very timely read. Especially after reading, it almost feels like his playbook 😅

Full book spread

An early book cover concept I made while I was studying; for one of my favorite #stephenking stories - Revival.

A bit different than my usual post, this photo series was simply titled "Broken/Vanity".

Consumerism is everywhere, and if you aren't careful you could lose yourself to vanity. This work explores realizing that, and breaking free.

#photography #consumerism #art #camera #portraitphotography

Once you have a general feel for that, then progressively more detailed in the next passes.

It's a good exercise to see where you're at already, and where you can improve.

Then I'd say you're free to look at some books and artists for inspiration.

Hope that helps! ✏️🎨
