Elephantiasis

Elephantitis was pretty much the funniest thing in middle school, when no one really understood it. If I spend too much thinking about tiny parasitic worms making my lymph system go insane and blow up like a balloon, I get a little freaked out.

Still, all these weird ailments are beautiful and fascinating in a weird way. Especially this one.

Baby Elephant Man walk

Joseph Merrick, the "Elephant Man" is possibly the only reason we know of Proteus Syndrome. A disfiguring syndrome which causes bizarre bone and skin growths, as well as tumors covering about half of the body. Its cause is still unkown.

Another Ink drawing of what I'd look like a horrible medical condition. Horrible as they may be, disfigurements are much more fun to draw than an unblemished figure.

If I was old I could get away with anything.

The first of three drawings of myself with terrible medical ailments for Dan Dudrow's Life Drawing clas. As it was the first the brushwork got a little wonky, but the non-relational color saved the day. I am glad I don't have progeria. I am a little sad I don't have that amazing beard anymore.

These are my new speaker sneakers!

This was based on this song, which is in turned based on this webcomic. It was the final for José Villarubbia's Illustration II class. Once again I find that I really like drawing animal's in people clothes. Also, Jack-O-Lanterns are pretty fun to draw too.

Text Adventures

This was an illustration for some parable that went something like the following.
"I love you."
"How much?"
"I'd give you anything in the world!"
"Give me your life."
*Bang*
"Liar, you never loved me."

Thanks for posing my friends.

Two Strangers Pass in the night

I heard Theodore Roosevelt wore the monocle because that eye was damaged while prizefighting.
