Mad King Jerry

I find myself more and more having fun with drawing caricatures of people. So when I came across this article about Jerry Yang, I just haaaad to draw him. Jerry Yang is the ex-CEO of Yahoo! and he has come under alot of scrutiny during the late stages of his career.

Nature vs Nurture

So right now I'm doing my criminology essay on Nature vs Nurture. The whole premise is that we have to decide whether Nature or Nurture is a better determinant in predicting crime. In the class we got an excellent handout explaining both sides of the argument, and I thought it was a really interesting idea to illustrate.

Yeeehawwwrrrr!!

Its always nice to have a life drawing session with a costumed model. I just find its easier to have fun and put your own spin in the drawing.

Dont fear the Reaper...but seriously fear it.

I read in a Wired article that John McCain has almost a 1/4 chance of dying in the next 4 years...I did this before the election so it's not as scary as it would have been!

Learning from the good things and bad things that I've been doing this year, has been a fun process. I feel that every piece I do gives me something to learn from as well as push myself further.

Nuke Valley

This was a piece about how North Korea focus' more on weapon armaments than food for its people. I had some trouble at first worrying if all the nukes looked the same, but I pretty much thought if all of them looked different then it would go together.
