A Violent Rampage of Productivity

This is for my high school Psychology teacher, Mr. Epstein. A few months before graduation, he asked me to paint him something that he could hang in his classroom "forever". And I, being the scumbag that I am, pursued my immediate, petty teenage agendas instead of fulfilling my promise.
So here it is. A year late.

He said it can be as ridiculous as I pleased. And I followed through with that. It's a shame that probably my best painting thus far was wasted upon such a stupid, stupid concept. Or maybe that makes it awesome. I don't even know anymore.

Epstein receives it on Wednesday. I am excited.

LET'S CONTINUE TO KICK IT!

Granted everything I produce winds up being for school, but it doesn't really alter what I aim to do at all (Because I usually find a loophole in the assignment and seize the opportunity to turn in something ridiculous). So anywho, we had to illustrate a "futuristic socieity" in General Illustration II, and through my cunning explanation of the infinite parallel universe theory, I managed to get away with this:

It kind of looks awful in the photo, but I like the concept too much not to share. I'll eventually get around to acquiring a more flattering image of it, assuming I can find a large enough scanner or a decent enough camera.
Oh, it's acrylic on canvas board, if anyone cares.

It may also be worth nothing that this painting was based on a sketch I did a about a year ago:


And yeahhhh.

KICK IT!

Well, it just so HAPPENS that last night, I uploaded a fistful of images of some paintings I've done in the past month. And I suppose it'd be a good idea to put them up here...seeing as this is the whole ART BLOG thing and whatnot.

What follows is a three piece series where I used each of the complimentary color sets. It was one of my first ventures in gouache and blahblahblahshootme.



Violet and yellow.


Blue and orange.


Red and green.


Finally, some work I've done that didn't involve animals...But it still has food. I need to break this awful, awful theme of mine.
