Back in the Game

I submitted my thesis (just waiting for the oral exam) so I had some time to sketch again. Here comes a little sneak peek.

Grotesque and Beautiful…

…or maybe just grotesque. Either way: Fantastic!

Thanks J.F. for showing me these pictures of a mask made by Art Director Mark Pernice and Sculpturer Christian Hanson

This is incredible and I haven’t laughed so hard in ages…so…now I wanted to share the joy with you.

The designer used Apple’s Photo Booth as an inspiration for the mask.

“[...]the idea was to take the 2D image that it manipulated and create a tangible face in a real environment, then in turn bring it back into a 2D image. Using Photo Booth on the mask itself may create some sort of paradoxal shift where I cease to exist.”

I can only imagine that it takes more than just a couple of hours to create such a mask. I’m really impressed by this kind of work.

The Foolish Princess

New illustration…I just got my favorite number back, and to celebrate I made a little illu. “The Foolish Princess”

Busy Little German Bee

I’ve been awfully quiet those past couple of days, but I promise some new drawings soon. But first there’s 2 nearly finished web sites to work on, 4 conference papers to review, the thesis to write AND my head is full of illus.

Life as a busy bee is awesome…just the prioritizing doesn’t go too well. I’d much rather work on the illus right now but gots to write.

Well..I guess I’ll just have to throw in some of those magical wee hour workings and we’ll have those drawings up in no time.
