Life Drawing: Personal Work

In this series I chose to explore the Skeletal System more. This drawing right below this one is what my forearm looked like when I broke it in 2001(?). I couldn't get the actual x-ray but this is pretty much what it looked like.

This is my hand. I took the weird position from a photo that I used in another piece for my EAS class. During LifeDrawing I was having trouble with foreshortening, so I decided to use this piece to try and overcome that problem. I think it's decently done.

This is an x-ray image of a broken foot, the chunk of bone in the middle of the big toe bone is the piece that's broken off. Don't ask me how it got broken there.

Karl & Alexis: The New Cat

This is Karl and Alexis. They just got a new cat, Toki. Together Karl and Alexis seem to love Toki, and with Alexis thats no question. But with Karl, he could do without. In this mini-series of Double Lives, Karl has had enough with this cat, so much that he's thinking about having Toki help him make dinner.

Toki was not harmed in the filming of these photographs.

Anson: The Functioning Alcoholic

When I was in high school, my spanish teacher Mr. G (and I will leave it at that) had a problem. He kept this problem private until one day it became too much. In this mini-series of me, I tried to portray the struggle that Mr G must have went through, the personal struggle that I can't grasp, only seem to try to.

Karl: The Office Transvestite

This is Karl. Karl is your everyday paper-pushing office worker. But at night, a different side is shown. Like Batman Karl has two sides to his life. One that he must shroud in secrecy.

Karl was one of my favorites to shoot, there are so many sides to him that he can display so well and he is so willing to do any idea I came up with it was hard not to capitalize on his personality portrayals.

Ryan & Emily: The Lovable Abuser

This is Ryan (Lumpy) and Emily. They are a loving couple, one of many happy ones I know, in public. In private tempers rage and alcohol gets the best of Ryan as he proceeds to show his dominance over Emily through one of many ways.

Of course, Lumpy and Emily are honestly one of the happiest couples I know, and I assure you that Lumpy would never such a thing, but they were willing to participate in this series, and for that, I thank them.

Scott: The Musical Meth-head

This is Scott. He graciously volunteered to let me shoot photos of him enjoying two big parts of his life. Music and Meth.

Of course Scott doesn't really do Meth, this is just a series of photographs which I aply-named Double Lives. Throughout this series you will see two sides a person(s) life, mainly one good and one bad. Showing the internal and external struggle of man, relationships, and life.
