Personal Map

For our Information Design class we had to come up with some kind of poster sized "map"(loosely defined) that describes an aspect of ourselves, or something like that. I chose to document my life for the month prior to the project's due date.

I think I'm going to start posting cool comic book covers. I buy very few comics, maybe 1 or 2 a month, so I likely don't own the comic in question, but there is some nice work being done. As well, I'll keep things current, so if you're intrigued, you'll be able to find the comic on the shelves, hot off the press.

Caveat Emptor; the interior art is not always done by the cover artist.

So, the inaugural image:

The Unwritten #7, cover by Yuko Shimizu.

HALLOWEEN BUGS

I remember being 4 or 5 years old and actually being frightened by the last of these 3 cartoons. Something had lifted the veil of comedy for me and I was filled with dread by two obese children, blinded by their greed, gorging themselves on candy, oblivious to the fact that a toothless old lady gleefully prepares to cook them alive and cannibalize them. All for our amusement.

How horrible.

I feel the need to listen to some Jacques Brel.

- Evil Scientist.

- Vampire.

- Wicked Witch.

(p.s. - that last line of dialogue = 1954)

DRAGON SKETCH

In our media exploration class today (which is in session as I write this - sorry, Mike), our instructor had us go downstairs and draw on the wall which acts as an entrance to the current Illustration and Character design show. He suggested a Halloween-ish theme. When it was my turn I drew a dragon (I'll try to get a pic to post). In preparation I sketched this guy up in Photoshop.

JOAN JETT

Hey, look! Barbie is releasing this line of 80's rock and roll icons. If anyone feels they absolutely need to purchase a Barbie for their kid, then I would have to recommend the Joan Jett doll, because let's face it, she kicks so much ass that your kid might turn out alright. In the picture below (click to enlarge) notice how she's the coolest person in the room at 16 years old when she was in the Runaways (watch for the movie next year), and see how she's still throwing down the "fuck you" in the bottom pic in which, if I'm doing my math right, she is 50 (that's right). If you're unfamiliar with her work, grab onto something heavy and watch this video.

Note the Chucks!
