Thank god, because this much digital is kiiiillling meeeee!

Drop Bears

tight sketch for Synergism in Illustration class project. Assignment was 'Fearsome critters'(look it up on wiki, lol). I chose to illustrate the Australian legend of Drop Bears, which are pretty much koalas with giant fangs, and claws, that wait in trees till hikers walk under them, then drop on the hikers, and rip out their throats. You can tell a drop bear is in a tree over you by laying on the ground, and spitting upwards. They'll spit back. ;)

I have changes I'll be making.

stuff from last year

Media class

I'll have more as soon as I can scan them. again.

my super sweet acrylic painting. 11"x36"
Fully rendered graphite drawing underneath, fixed, then painted over in true Don Brandes style. Yes, folks, that means I drew the patterns on walls, carpet, furniture, and tea accessories by hand, for better, or worse. This piece got into the Cosmix show at the Bradenton Museum of South Florida (or something like that), and is currently making it's rounds with the rest of the show to various galleries around the state of FL.

three hour ill (on an article about three men being condemned to stoning in the middle East. One man escaped.)

--
three hour ill (on an article about 'the Angel of Death,' a doctor who worked for the SS during WWII on increasing the chances of pregnancies producing twins, in an effort to produce an Arian army faster. After the fall of Germany, he escaped to Brazil, but seemed to have continued his research. Long story short there is a town in Brazil where, to this day, 8 out of 10 [my numbers might be off] pregnancies are twins.)
