that star has a couple butts on it

this one’s a little hard to see because it’s non-photo blue on chip board. i don’t usually draw like this but…i don’t know. felt a bit cubist at that moment i suppose.

this one was done during a past art night – it’s a collaboration by myself, joeygold, and gubba:

this drawing i did for a friends (an ex art night core member, NICK) short lived ZINE:

it was an art zine, and you had to do a piece that was based on a theme. i don’t remember the theme, but this drawing was based on that theme.

fellow art nighter, FRIDA, gave me some of this great paper she got while in mexico. it sat in the studio for a couple months until i finally put something down on it. i did these four drawing the same day i made my “black power” collage. here we go:

on these first three i drew the paint marker lines first at random, and then i did the graphite lines to bring it together.

the texture of this paper is cool:

i did this collage while at the studio on saturday. i cut these two women out of an old ebony magazine from 1973. apparently, they’re locked in a ferocious battle for world supremacy. the one on the left, lady kaskill, is about to hit miss mayhem, her arch rival of the dark-arts, with her staircase to purgatory spell. but miss mayhem is throwing her best counter attack, the black cloud of old st. james – and as these two mighty spells collide, an explosion of afghan-fire erupts into the heavens.
