I needed a new icon on a few sites, so I figure, why not do one in the style of my comic?

Daily Doodle round up! For fun I started a low-pressure inktober-style Daily Doodle group with a few friends to keep the motivation to make art up even after graduation. I’m personally having a ton of fun with it. First set featuring: Nacho&alchemy, my phobia of insects, birbs, and the college AU of my desert druid trying to eat some fro-yo on a road trip

Ars moriendi

30x12″ set of 4 photopolymer prints. They were originally printed in this manner to be accordion folded into a small book, so that each print would be looked at individually.  This particular project meant a lot to me, as a meditation on the medical issues in my immediate family, our relationships to one another, and the mix of dread and peaceful acceptance that comes with these problems. I especially felt the need to do this since shortly before my brother had been hospitalized with his right lung collapsed into the size of a balled fist, and the other starting to fail.

Stages of Decomposition by Nicole Frost

      For my senior thesis project in Scientific Illustration I began by buying poor Maggie; she had been fatally wounded by a bear, and was put down. I then documented Maggie’s complete decay from the hot summer in June 2015, through winter, and into the end of March 2016. In a modified cage, her cadaver was exposed to the elements, but protected from larger predators and scavengers such as the turkey vultures in the area.          With visceral first hand experience, I wanted to explore the postmortem metamorphosis her body advanced through. In the first week, her body had been a fresh, bloated home to bacteria and insect colonization, freely giving back calories to anything that could reach her. As time moved on, I watched the macro-level changes as her body broke down into a puzzle of bones and simple biological compounds, free to recombine in the future lives of plants and other life.     My paintings explore the stages of decomposition: Fresh, Bloating, Putrefaction, Active Decay, and Skeletonization. Each is meant to be an honest look into death, as well as an honest explanation of my interests as an artist.

Very quick, sloppy comic for the independent study i had last semester. I was challenged to do a 4 page, single color, autobio comic. So I went with the time I had a heatstroke in a water park.

Don’t let yourself get too dehydrated!

My newest skill: accidentally breaking things haha But in reality, my positives are now ready to go and I am stoked on doing this next CMYK print :)

When you’re working on your next screenprinting project and you get some great glitching haha
