"Lab in the Lab" T-Shirt Design

Speed Painting: Cherries

I've been doing a few minutes of work on this in between projects, here and there. Twas quite relaxing!

Another drawing session at the American Museum of Natural History here in New York City!

Fish Logo

Here's a sort of logo design that someone asked me to make for a business named after a fish.

Preview of a Skull Thing

I've been working on a textile design concept and this is a portion of it. The final design is going to be much bigger and really awesome looking. That's the plan, at least.

Painting Practice

I have been wanting to do more and more digital painting, especially with highly visible and expressive brush strokes. There's just something about painterly styles that I like. I think I'm still too much of a perfectionist to be effective with the style, as I tend to get overly concerned with small details and blending, but I would like to attempt it sometime.

When painting this apple, I did not zoom in much at all to work on details, so that is actually an improvement over my usual way of working. It turned out more photorealistic than I had anticipated, but I quite like this technique and think it is another one that I will continue to utilize.

I also used this as my fifth post on Art Jumble. The topic was stereotypes, and I gave my submission the title of "Apples are Red". I am so clever.

Unknown Skull

Forensic Illustration 6

I was given a resin casting of some kind of skull that was broken and a bit weathered. Before drawing it, I re-sculpted the eye sockets and the right cheekbone with clay. To me, this appears to be some sort of ape skull, or perhaps a neanderthal human.

Human Head Sculpture

Before:After:

Forensic Illustration 5

I added a face to this (fake) human skull with clay. The thing I was focusing on was facial muscle thickness. I also believe this was one of my first ever attempts at sculpture.

Police Sketches

Forensic Illustration 4

I was given a description for the first two images. They are all the same person, but it was a fun description so I came up with a bunch of interpretations. The third image is one that is directly from memory; he is someone who I have only seen briefly.

Otzi: Before Death

Forensic Illustration 3

Here's an interpretation of what Otzi the Iceman could have looked like while he was alive. Also pictured are his various weapons and tools, which include a flint knife, a pouch, a bow, arrows, a sharpener, and a copper-headed axe.

Otzi the Iceman

Forensic Illustration 2

In 1991, this body was found in the Otztal Alps, on the border of Austria and Italy. It ended up being the body of a man who lived about 5300 years ago. He had been preserved in a glacier all that time and is now Europe's oldest natural human mummy.

Dog Skull

Forensic Illustration 1

This was a study of an actual dog skull that supposedly came from Mexico. I have heard that they have a severe overabundance of dogs there. The cause of death appears to be a bullet wound, but it is not a certainty.
