my most recent life drawing project.

semi-recent illustration project.  yearbook series #1.

serving tray series #1 (i have to fix a lot on this one).

she's supposed to be a paper doll and the household appliances are her accessories (with the white tags that you fold over), but i have to make this more obvious i think.

we bought maude a wheel!  she loves it almost as much as the chin above.

the roomies & i had project runway season premiere party.  josh dressed in drag...again.  he's such an ugly woman.

my roommates stole tons of cookies from our apartment lounge because the president of the school visited and said we could take as many as we wanted...

the other night there was a drunken girl running around with her shirt off, so josh felt the need to do the same and rub snow all over his nipples.  for 10 minutes.

that boy is ridiculous.

Posted for Cool Mike's pleasure!

On Sunday, May 4th 2003, a group of friends got together on their campus's DMZ and held a peeps contest.  Barbara, Shannon, and Tony played the role of photo takin' bitches, Sara recorded notes and quotes, and Kyle and Josh fought to see who could eat the most delicious marshmallow products without vomiting.

It was a hot sunny day and those stale peeps from Easter were ready to be torn apart.

Kyle was anxious to dive in!

Josh had on his game face...they were ready.

At first the boys were off to a great start!  They even encouraged fellow students to cheer them on.

"Peeps are tasty!" Kyle would exclaim!

Perhaps Josh was enjoying this a little too much.  Where were the stomach cramps and sad faces??

Kyle had appeared to be missing some oomph.   His tongue was blue though!

The marshmallow consistancy was wearing on Josh...he had to put his KFC team member hat back on to show he was serious.

Kyle was losing steam.  It would appear the purple Peeps were the worst.

Josh refused to give up!  If Aquafina wouldn't help him, nothing could!

Less and less Peeps were being consumed by Kyle. 

Josh was gaining his inner strength back!

His confidence was higher than ever!


He began to cheer for himself!  (It was sad, really)

Barbara tried to pep Kyle back up, but it was no use.  He was a goner.

He couldn't even finish half of a row!

Uh oh.  Josh was beginning to show signs of sickness.

Curling up in the fetal position, for instance.

The boys began rolling and rumbling around.

Kyle's butt was making a special appearance and began talking to us.

Suddenly, Kyle stood up and took the "I'm definitely going to puke" stance.

It was pretty and Easter-like.  Jesus would've approved.

Unfortunately, Josh was not so lucky.  See that itty bitty Peep stuck to the corner of his mouth?  Total turn on.  Yep.

Poor Josh flopped on the grass in pain, moaning about Rosie O' Donnell and the Holocaust. 

The boys had found their special place together, on the green green grass of Kutztown.

All in all, Josh ate 37 Peeps and Kyle ate 38.  But Josh never puked, so technically he won. 

But I think Kyle is the true winner in all of our hearts...that puke was just too pretty to not be rewarded.

Here are some quotes from that day:

I just want to die (x 53) -Josh

This is worse than the holocaust. -Josh

We are kings among men. Marshmallow men. -Kyle

Yarf. gooey. no. -Josh

*burp* okay, I'm good now. -Kyle

Just a little bit of peep regurgitation. -Barbara

Marshmallow, no. -Josh

Oh god. (five minutes later) Oh god. -Kyle

Oh god! Lying down is not a good thing. -Kyle

I'd rather pass a kidney stone. -Kyle

Keep eating. -Tony

I'd rather wake up with Rosie o'donnel and a hangover. -Josh

You know what would be more fun? Stapling our dicks to boards. -Kyle

I hate you guys. And by you guys, I mean myself. -Kyle

Why are you doing this to us? -Josh
You are doing it to yourself. -Tony
Shut up, Tony. -Josh

They keep threatening to do it again this year...I have a strong hatred for vomit so I think I'll hide under my bed with Maude when the time comes.

on a more positive note, here's some recent work that has been tickling my fancy!

Gottfried Helnwein

Edward Burtynsky

Dutch Huff (who I first saw this past week at First Friday)

Kathryn Frund (from First Friday)

Willow Bader (also from First Friday)


i really wish illustration was in the fine arts department and not the communication design department.  ever since i started browsing for courses a month ago (i'm a nerd) i put the "art today" course at the top of my list because i was ridiculously excited to:

a.) take another art course with jim weiss and

b.) learn about contemporary art and take trips to nyc, etc.

so when i went to sign up for it, i was told that i can't because it's only open to certain majors.  i find it to be patronizing that illustration majors can't sign up for a class about contemporary art-i know that it wasn't meant to be patronizing in any way, but i can't help but take it that way.  it makes me feel like people will never take me seriously, even though i go to the library and dig deep into books about painters and performance artists and installation artists.  i hope professor weiss makes an exception for me...my last semester here will be a very bitter one if not.  shannon will be a sad, sad panda.
