Rejected from the Creationism Museum I and II

behold! my very first commissions! I got a bottle of rum for my trouble. I’m not happy with the quality of the scans, but I got them done for free because my dog is so cute (true story).

this one is inspired by a a game of bingotunes at the druid (also a true story)

Dual functions: piece and preview

here’s a desert!

I plagiarized this from myself for an upcoming piece.

if you’re enjoying my scribblings, you should check out this one dude Adrian Louden because he’s exceptionally talented. He also cooks a mean stirfry.

La Paz postcards: It’s all downhill from here.

on a set of 7’x5′ index cards, I made a series of postcards about life in Bolivia. Everything here is something I saw, although the details are composite.

 

Where the tourist market meets the black market, you can find dried llama foetuses, ceremonial carvings and off-brand recreations of any console manufactured since 1980

Based on a True Story

All of these things, the dandily outfitted coffee seller, the sloth and the toborochi tree, existed concurrently in Santa Cruz. I can only assume this was a daily occurrence, because if any animal can use a jolt of caffiene, it’s the sloth.

Today is an exciting day for Blind Fish Industries. Reliable access to a scanner has been secured, certain, long-running projects are finished, and more is to come, soon.

How is this post like the fake TVs in furniture stores?

I’m searching for a scanner in a foreign land, and as soon as I find it, I have a reasonably big thing coming up. stay tuned to this channel. further bulletins as events warrant.

Can’t Trust the Mountains

When you fly into La Paz, there’s a massive Andean peak that stares down into your airplane like it knows what you did. It dominates the landscape, the skyline, the whole city of La Paz, like a hulking sentinel not entirely concerned with guarding much of anything, although local legend said that when the city was threatened by a different mountain, the guardian of La Paz punched its head off (the head landed near the coast of Chile). It is Illimani, the golden eagle. You can see it from Peru.

Anyway, here it is rendered in magazine cutouts!

somehow the true glory is not fully captured.

Bicycle Merit Badges

I originally drew these as part of a resume for a mountain biking tourism company. They were not completed on time, but they were fun exercises in abstracting shapes-not my strong point.
