Rudolph the Red-Faced Reindeer
- Rudolph the Red-Faced Reindeer
Comic, Adobe Photoshop, India Ink - This comic book is a nod to the famous Christmas character with, perhaps, a more modern spin. Issues of isolation and neuroses seem to have held me back a great deal when I was younger, but I would like to think that I have conquered a lot of these mental hiccups more or less. That is what this work is speaking to, mainly, and I feel like that thread is common throughout my portfolio.
Description
A short comic depicting the neurotic life of the world's favorite reindeer.

Shameless Self Reference
These are various pieces of self-reference. Sometimes I write about my inability to get my work done, my occasional lack of self-assuredness, and the woes of being romantically inept. The image with the Robert Crumb look about it was actually colored by Prof. John Jennings -- co-author of "The Hole" and comix extraordinaire.

Four Dollar Man in a Nervous Room
This is a diorama I did for a fine art class I took my junior year. It is titled "Four Dollar Man in a Nervous Room" in homage to Rod Serling. The piece itself is informed by Renaissance period religious iconography. I like to illustrate using a variety of techniques including large-scale dioramas.

Red Ink
I like to use color in my work but, at times, sparingly. I think you can say a lot with red from the explicit to the intimated.
