<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is mostly a comedy-inspired week (with the exception of wolf boy from last week). In case you can't tell (due to to my lack of experience when doing portraiture of real people), the comedians I've done are: Noel Fielding, Mike Birbiglia, Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, Demetri Martin, Louis C.K., Jim Gaffigan, and Dave Chappelle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This year I'm finally partaking in <a href="http://mrjakeparker.com/inktober">Inktober</a>, an initiative started by one of my longest running inspirations, Mr. Jake Parker. Inktober, in a nutshell, is a challenge based on a simple premise: do one drawing, in ink, every day during the month of October. There are literally thousands of Inktober pieces across the internet. I'll give <a href="https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/inktober">tumblr's hashtag</a> as a start.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's a tumblr that I stumbled upon last year through artists that I follow. It's called <a href="http://wizardingwednesday.tumblr.com/">Wizarding Wednesdays</a>, and it's blog devoted to Harry Potter fan art. The admin post a character from the series once a week, and the community, in turn, draws the character according to how they imagined them while reading the books. It's a fun exercise for me to keep current with my art, and I've done every single one up to the week of this post.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've basically glommed-on to Tumblr, using it to find inspiration and post current art, but I'm going to try to do better about updating this blog as well. I know many of you that read this are my personal friends and family, and I want everyone that's interested in my work to be able to keep up with what I've been doing lately, however contrarily it may have appeared as of late.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This one, for those of you how can't immediately recognize the characters, is primarily of Rubeus Hagrid, the abundantly kind half-human/half giant gamekeeper at Hogwarts (with an eleven-year-old Harry thrown in for size comparison).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">One year ago today I took my girlfriend to go see </span></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_House" style="color: #444444; line-height: 19px;">Beach House</a><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">. We’re weren't officially together then, but that concert was one of the defining moments leading up to our relationship. Beach House is her favorite and is one of my favorites also. The show was incredible, and they even played her favorite song, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNQ97P0rQk8">Heart of Chambers</a>.</span></span></span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 19px; outline: none 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">For a surprise Christmas present (which also included: an encouragement book found at Goodwill, <a href="http://www.threadless.com/product/4356/Tracks_and_Signs/">a Threadless thermal</a>, dvds for Black Swan and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (some of her favorite films), a mix-tape, and, of course, </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 19px;">detailed instructions on how to open the gift (which was wrapped in an enormous box), </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 19px;">I made her this unofficial concert poster for the concert we went to. The logo is an homage to the font from Beach House’s <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ee/BeachHouse-Album.jpg">first album cover</a> (as I love the font so much).</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 19px;">I wanted this to be something that very few people knew about for a while (as it was intended mainly for her enjoyment), but, after a year, I figured it was time to share (though I did ask her first).</span><br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; line-height: 19px; outline: none 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 19px;">Lastly, thank you Beach House for pumping out the quality jams that ultimately drew us closer together. We'll be at your next Seattle show. You can count on it.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my entry to the <a href="http://www.threadless.com/adultswim/">Aqua TV Show Show</a> challenge on Threadless. Even though I haven't seen every episode, the characters, though simple in nature, are instantly recognizable. It's always a great opportunity to put one's own stylistic spin on pop-culture characters, and this one was no different. The time-frame for this one was a little under a week from sketch to final product, and I'm fairly content with the result.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my entry for the <a href="http://www.threadless.com/thor/">The Mighty Thor</a> contest on Threadless. Even though I'm not particularly familiar with any of the Thor mythology (either historical or in the comics world), I've still always been struck by the powerful silhouette and majestic nature of The God of Thunder, and I wanted to portray that with this piece. Even though you can't see his face (or some of his more distinguishable features), I wanted to make it easy to identify who it is just from his powerful stance and choice tool.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm getting faster at laying down vast amounts of details in my work (as well as pushing toward a slightly more impressionistic flair with my style), and I'm quite content with how this one turned out. Hopefully I can discipline myself to churn out work a bit faster and in higher doses. Here's to hoping!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This was one that I finished a while ago, for <a href="http://www.threadless.com/theflaminglips/">The Flaming Lips Contest </a>on Threadless. Although The Lips are one of my favorites (and the fact that I didn't win), this one pushed my boundaries (in terms of both stylistic flair and concept). I'm not used to drawing nude women (or posting the nude women I draw), but the contest asked for a design based around the newest Flaming Lips album, entitled 'The Terror'. Consequently, I decided to combine my fear of women (which was extremely prevalent in my life growing up but has since relinquished), the fear of falling behind technologically (as doing so (in the art world especially) can cause drawbacks in not only execution but also in motivation and growth), and the fear of the unknown (symbolized by the monstrous shapes emerging from the blob).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Regular Show is one of the best and most creative cartoons to hit the small screen in a long time. It is absurd, strange, and, ultimately, hilarious, drawing on 80's sensibilities and style flair (along with the hair-brained imagination of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._G._Quintel">J.G. Quintel</a>) to create something very unique. It's one of the shows that inspires me to create new and wacky things, and I've seen every episode (so far) (and can't wait for the <a href="http://adultswimcentral.com/2013/03/15/regular-show-seasons-1-2-dvd-and-blu-ray-coming-july-16th/">DVD release in June</a>).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found out the Threadless was doing a sponsored contest for the show, and I went completely bananas. Here was an opportunity for me to pay homage to something that I admire and love. And, although I went through many stages of 'I can't do this', this piece is what eventually formed. It's in my own style (for I didn't want to copy the look of the show TOO closely (I expected most entries would)), and I'm sure that'll knock me in terms of chances of being printed. Still, I'm happy with it; it is an homage after all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like when the swirly, purple-y space from the title card is featured in episodes of the show (such as More Time, Do Me a Solid, More Smarter), and I wanted to incorporate that into my piece. And, whether or not this prints, I'm proud of it; not only is it subject matter that I love: it's also the first piece I've done solely with my Wacom Tablet (no scanned paper drawing). With the good feeling behind this one, I'm sure I'll be able to get a hold on the Wacom soon. In the meantime, enjoy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; line-height: 16px;">I have been body conscious my whole life, and have suffered with the resulting repercussions. It's never fun being uncomfortable in your own skin, so I wanted to highlight the issue of body-love with this one. It takes a lot of courage to love yourself, despite what everyone considers 'normal' or 'acceptable', and I admit: I'm not quite there yet. But I'm learning (thanks to some amazing people in my life), and for me, that's a huge step. I know this design won't solve the problem of body-image consciousness, but if it can change at least one person's outlook of themselves, I'll be overjoyed, because, whether you think so or not, you are beautiful.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is for the first round of <a href="http://www.threadless.com/play/forum/post/965987/threadwars_6__bover_375_in_prizesb_2844/">Threadwars VI</a>. The theme for Round 1 was Violence, but, after an extended period of time trying to come up with a concept, I realized that I don't dwell on subjects like violence often, at least not as a theme for something I'm working on. In accordance, I chose to highlight anti-violence instead (which the administrators of the contest said would work just as well). It's not as refined as I'd like (it was completed in a week (and in an even shorter period of time since I didn't have ample opportunity to work on it throughout said week)), but sometimes it's nice to crunch for a deadline. It puts emphasis not only on <i>focus</i> but also on <i>the importance of subject matter</i> (the difference between what is necessary and what is icing). Essentially, this one doesn't have an over-abundance of icing, but I think the cake, although partially faked, isn't half bad.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a collaboration with <a href="http://www.threadless.com/profile/950655/soloyo/">soloyo</a> on Threadless. He came to me with this idea at the 2011 Threadless Meetup after a keynote presentation highlighting 'creative block'. We tried to go for a broader range of subject matter (as is apparent from the process blog here). Nothing worked until we decided to settle on writer's block, which is something that Nestor (soloyo) struggles with often, being a writer and all. Once we had a firm direction, everything fell into place, minus my drive to finally finish it (again, <b>2011</b>). Subject matter in mind, I think this of all pieces was not one to rush. Still...sorry for the wait, Nestor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a remake of another artist's design. It's part of the Remake Community Challenge, which is exactly what it sounds like. This is one that I wanted to do a few years ago, but I'm glad I held off. My style is constantly maturing/changing, and I feel that, if I had decided to try to accomplish this piece, I may not have been able to do it justice. I'm still not sure if I did, but, personally, I'm happy with how it turned out. The original, a piece conceived by the immensely talented <a href="http://sonmisonmi.com/">Julia Sonmi Heglund</a>, can be found below. Happy new year.

I haven't really been inspired to do anything for Threadless in a while: they've redesigned their site (and it still needs A LOT of ironing out), the submission forms have changed, etc. I'm not sure why those events put me off submitting (and it's not all that: I just haven't come up with any worthwhile tee ideas lately), but I'm going to try to start subbing again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The focus of the contest was to create a design inspired by Spidey doing battle with his foes. And, since I was fairly certain that 90% of the submissions would be battle-scenes, I tried to go in a <i>smarter</i> direction. For, as any seasoned general will tell you, going into battle without having observed the enemy (their strengths, weaknesses, and motive) is a grave mistake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wanted to utilize the prominence of photography in the Spider-Man universe, and a makeshift darkroom set up in the bathroom seemed like a worth starting point. The rest evolved from there. Mind you the inspiration and execution behind this one all took place in a little over a week, so there are certain things I would prefer to perfect or redo if I had more time, but, as I seem to do often, I put it off until the last minute. Still, my Spider-Sense is quite content with the final product.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another Adventure Time fan-art piece: this one is of Bubblegum as a hipster waiting to get into a show (probably for some bands you've probably never heard of...probably). Funnily enough, I spent more time on this piece than I did on the other AT pieces I've done, and it received less of a response on Tumblr. Either I strayed too far from the actual look and feel of the show...or it proves that less really is more (although, if you think about it, those two reasons are essentially one in the same).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There were many different color schemes/lighting effects I tried for this one, and I settled on this look for a particular reason. I went to see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_House">Beach House</a> with a good friend recently, and, while waiting outside for the show, in the chill, October weather, there was this warm light cast by the last rays of sun, illuminating us and everything around with a yellowish sheen. It was a beautiful way for the day to end and a wonderful opening for what, truly, was the best show I've been to in my life so far. So, even though the performance of this piece wasn't as awesome as I wanted it to be for the effort I put into it, it does hold that sense of accomplishment at recreating part of an endearing life experience, for whatever it's worth to you folks.</span></div>

It wasn't such a great day. I felt pretty morose. I feel that way sometimes. But it wasn't a morose that brought me to my typical, dysfunctional halt. It was a morose that made me want to create. It was a strange feeling. Most often when I'm morose it makes me want to curl up on the carpet and cease. And I'm not saying this piece is particularly well executed. It isn't one of my better efforts, especially given the circumstances. But I'm proud of it. I'm proud of it because I gave that effort, even though the effort was hurried and clunky. I'm proud of it because it represents a strengthening of character, which, in my life, has been slow in its manifestation. And it feels good. It feels good to not have carpet-indent lining the side of my face.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you haven't already, GO SEE PARANORMAN. It's by far one of the best films of the year. It's spectacular in its craftsmanship, superb in its direction, and has urgent, important themes that give it depth and resonance. I can't wait to see what <a href="http://www.laika.com/">Laika</a> puts out next.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As an afterthought, there's a quote in the film that also appears in its trailers, a line that, over the past few weeks, I've really taken to heart and tried to make a personal motto: 'There's nothing wrong wi<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">th being scared...so long as you don't let it change who you are.' It's hit so close to home with me because for the past several months I've really been trying to figure out my life's direction, and I think one thing that really holds me back is my fear of certain things, most often my fear of the unknown future. And it's difficult to overcome, sure, but I'm doing better all the time.</span></span></span></div>
