OFFICIAL business cards.

My official business card designs.
I feel a little bit more legit!
Two designs for two types of styles I think I have...which are neurotically complicated with lots of colors and the other being more mature...as mature as you can get with a naked man with a hamburger on his junks. :P
They came out pretty well. the hamburger background on the back is a little hard to see. I used gotprint.net.

Holy Hamburger PROCESS

The last painting I was working on for my Holy Hamburger Thesis.

Also here's the sketches and planning behind the other two pieces.
I'll be staying with my thesis professor Rachel Salomon next semester. But as for my next thesis project.....Pizza????? ;P

Thesis: Holy Hamburger Part 2 and 3

Two more paintings for my 4 Part Holy Hamburger series. See Part one here.
Part two:
Was less trouble, but had a whole new set of problems since I decided to work inversely, white on black, which I haven't done before.

Part 3: Came out the best. better planned. Worked on it on the same time as Part 4 which I then abandoned in order to have this finished by finals. Condensed 3 weeks-1 month work in 1.5 week. But not without consequence. This was Nyquil/Motrin/Sick/chronique nosebleeds because of the excessive Nyquil/no sleep week.

Lessons Learned: Time management fail. Gained ability to feel nothing until 6-7 a.m., Possible irrevocable liver damage.

Locking zine that never was.

Two sketches for a zine about locking and a pin design for breakdance club at art market, which I ended up not being much help at since I was hopped up on Nyquil and Motrin to supress my germs and stress in order to finish my finals.
I liked how these pages turned out, and maybe I'll continue it for fun one day....but probably not since dancing is for fun and art is for work and I don't like to mix the two. At least not for now.

Also, one of my favorite locking videos:

Massively Late Update: Comicon and Sketches of 2009

Extremely late post on The Society of the Okay's (just Annie Wu, Emma Rochon, and Me) debut in 2009 Baltimore Comicon.

Basic recap of events and life lessons learned: Annie forced children to take lollipops, Emma got herself a patron, ate burger behind the booth, was glad I saw Idiot Books there and amused myself with Ten Thousand Stories I bought from them, and I am terrible at self promotion because I either hide or repel people. For instance, I use the booth as a fort, I have no facial recognition for people once I'm behind the booth, so I become rude aaaand I dress like this:

And the ever popular mini cards from moo.com
Also sketchbook stuff from this year. AND my prethesis/holy hamburger sketches.

Thesis: Holy Hamburger Part 1

Finished the first of the 4 posters in my Holy Hamburger series.
used acrylic ink, gouache, watercolor pencils, watercolor pastels, india ink, some other type of ink....
took 3 weeks. a couple of sleepless nights, and a lot of tylenol/advil.The original is 18x24 in.
Here's a picture for a sense of the scale.

Tried to sell some 11x17 and 8.5x11 prints at the Baltimore Comicon, but I think i need to sell poster size prints because it didn't seem to appeal to people in smaller form.
oh will update on lessons learned and pictures of Comicon later. Also here's a detail from one of my favorite parts before I painted the color in:

THESIS, Part I The Holy Hamburger sketches

My thesis: people worshipping hamburgers.
Tibetan inspired mural paintings of people worshiping hamburgers.
There will be 4 18 x 24 posters in a series called The Holy Hamburger.
also I will do small side projects of specific characters/objects/scenes....
I can't believe they're letting me do this...
So far, sketches and a finished mini piece. Still inking the final.
