Here I present to thee a collection of my finest drawings, spanning eight years; 2003-2011. I use a combination of Sharpies, Pilots, Microns and Prismacolor markers/colored pencils. Nowadays, my drawings begin as pencil sketches on paper, which I subsequently scan and trace in Adobe Flash using a Wacom tablet. I'm kinda going for that 'super flat color' thing.


"The Pentarchical Conception of Sight"

Bold colors, solid linework, checkerboards and abstracted body parts are all characteristics of my style, which I somewhat jokingly refer to as Cartoonism. At some point though, my style went through puberty and started getting hair where there had been none before. I somewhat seriously refer to these stubbletastic works as Pubism (it's a sub-genre). Enjoy!


"The Complacent Frustrations of Telepathic Tongue-Twisters Expressing Melancholic Prenatal Thought"

Aside from the ongoing drawing tablet action, I have also been experimenting with a new technique; this involves drawing with my nipples, using India Ink. I wax my areolas before beginning, to get 'em all nice and smooth; I confidently immerse the tipples of my nippie nips into the ink and drag them across satin. It helps to have incense burning, for ritual's sake.


"Depressive Suppression of Reciprocal Happiness"

"Cocktator"

"Enlight Bulb"

"Haretic"
