**SEIZURE WARNING**
I created this as part of a longer segment called “Colorful Language”, which is a part of PNCATV's Episode 1: “Color”.
This video consists of 1,440 pictures randomly sourced from Tumblr and Google, with the results stemming from 60 words that were randomly generated. The trend that seemed to be that Tumblr showed results that were more figurative, while Google's results were rather literal.
All images were sourced from Tumblr and Google at random. I do not own any of these images. Music is "deluxe ecs" by Goto80, and is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 International License.
“Self Portrait in Simulacra”
After taking a picture of myself with a digital camera and using it as reference for a self portrait in watercolor, I traced that original watercolor again with paint, using a light box and a fresh sheet of paper. Then, I traced the second iteration of the portrait again in the same way, on a new piece of paper. I continued this process 22 times, ending up with a portrait that no longer resembled me and barely even hinted at a human form. These 23 images in total were compiled into this video file, with the final piece taking form as the last 8.5 x 11″ watercolor painting.
In tracing each iteration of the portrait, I eventually lost the “original” in my process, separating the forms that were created over and over again and essentially creating “nothing”. The subject matter was destroyed, and in its wake left something entirely different to be considered: the simple gesture and bleeding colors could potentially be far more representative of an individual’s essence than any detailed depiction of their visage ever could.

Super stoked for my next little animation. :) This one requires paper puppets, so I’ve taken up my watercolors… damn, it feels good to have a brush in my hand again. Next up is to ink everything and put the puppets together, and then it’s showtime!
Just cranked these out for the credits of my sweetheart's horror film! Badass, fist-fighting, rockabilly siblings ready to slice and dice their supernatural foes (and a few football players)! These images will be in the credits of the film, so I made them transparent. Their names are Jimmy "Dean" Queen and Shelley Queen. Ink lines and digital.

This is an illustration I made as a book cover design project for class. I chose the wonderful children's book, "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster. It's one of my absolute favorites, and it was an utter delight to redesign Tock! I made him a Bullterrier with a pocket watch body. I'll post the color variations sometime too. :)
Ink and Photoshop. About 15 hours. :P
