Teenage ennui gone awry. Godforsaken youth, doomsday in suburbia-- all meticulously rendered through clean lines and stippling. Gnarly.

SKETCHBOOK SUNDAYS - PT. 1
Sorry for the lack of updates, just got back to school. Here are some things from my sketchbook for the art class I'm taking this semester.
NEW
(Click to view larger)Just finished this new piece. Sarah mailed me an awesome children's book from 1966 called "That's Our Cleo! And Other Stories About Cats". There are some rad illustrations in it so I made this new drawing based off one of 'em. Also, my scanner is a piece of shit, totally dulled the colors and made things less sharp, oh well.
NEW WORK
Finally got around to scanning some new art.
My first piece in a while, "Samson's Revenge". Kindly refer to the Biblical myth of Samson and Delilah:

Stained the paper with coffee and tea, used some Prismacolor pencils for the hand, and got to experiment with a nice Staedler pencil set, my first time working with a wide variety of degrees in terms of my pencil use. I wish I hadn't used that inky black pen to line the hand, or that I'd at least used one with a finer point, but overall I'm happy with it.
Otherwise, I've been experimenting with watercolor in my moleskine, just painting random images and then going over them with a Micron pen.
This one's vaguely based on an old comic book panel I found online, it's alright.
Here's one I did looking at an old shot of Sylvie Vartan, all about the summer vibes.
This is my favorite of the bunch. Just a couple of choir boys. I was listening to Department of Eagles while I made it, which I thought was rather appropriate.
Anyways, many apologies for the shitty scan quality, the colors aren't quite as vibrant on a screen as they are in person. There are one or two other old, oooold sketches from my moleskine that I scanned as well -- you can see them on my flickr.
