live from Bozeman, MT

Hello, world!
I am sitting in Bozeman public library with Eric typing everything with my left hand. I tore up my right shoulder riding yesterday (I have an a/c separation?) so I spent last night drawing lions in sharpie with my left hand, and I am now slow at everything but reading, and I am maybe even slow at that when I am on my prescribed vicadin. Anyway, I wanted to post a couple random things.
The first is a couple-of-weeks old album cover submission for the Campus Music Network's
annual compilation CD. I have been working on a new one, but it is not submitted yet, so it is still in the works. I think that this older one still looks decent, though.







The second is a graf-style staticalaska sketch that I scanned into photoshop and colored. it looks 8bit old school (that is what Eric told me, and then he remixed it). I did the coloring and stuff on Wednesday night, I think. Eric's show what awesome feats he is capable of with photoshop. The thing is that his computer doesn't have it, so he can only work that magic through mine or something.
I played with Illustrator a fair amount over spring break. I've got one thing that is good to post, but I am working on a cool fish thing that should be good in the future. For now, you all get some more words work, and I have decided to throw a watercolor/ink llama scene, too. That should be enough to hold you over.

Peace.

Kangaroo-type of animals

Hey Everybody!
Sorry I have not posted in a while, I guess Eric and I have both fallen off the blog wagon lately. I do have some art, though, just not that much of it, and the school scanners are often uncooperative, as happened on Friday. Here are a couple of kangaroo things I did with gauche that my friend Jenny had while we were hanging out and making art a while ago.
In justification of my not sending digital art to all of you on the internet, I have been pretty busy lately. Besides school, this week is host to 2 CAIR meetings (one with Ron Thom), our semi-final intermural volleyball game (we lost but it's cool), 2 IPE professor candidate lectures, lunch with a professor candidate, attendance of a pretty much failed protest downtown and a couple hours of tutoring with a Lincoln High School student for WASL prep. Oo plus the radio show! Last week went really well, so hopefully this week goes comparably well. We might have a local Tacoma producer on. I ditched SDS this week, though, so that's kind of lame. Next week is spring break, so I'm super excited to do that. We are going to Montana! Greatgreatgreat.
Hopefully I'll post a bit more before we leave, I am kind of playing with this line-heavy illustration style with watercolors and there's a llama I painted a bit ago that maybe I'll post soonish.
