The Wrestler’s Lament

This guy was meant for something more, but I decided to change direction.

Keeping with the theme I established a couple of posts back, here’s a new pattern I just completed — this time featuring scared screaming spooks. Pop culture is filled with stories of aliens and ghosts haunting our bedrooms — I thought it might be fun to turn the tables and have them scare each other for a change.

With these patterned illustrations, I’m really interested in deconstructing the surface and exploring ways to abstract my use of shape and color as I describe form and space. There’s an aesthetic developing here that I’m really happy with — time to go start the next one!

Orange Mummylade

Something new! I got to thinking recently about the similarities between the outfits worn by mummies and ninja and it amused me that these two historical costumes — which have absolutely nothing in common — visually pair pretty well together.

This piece is, in a way, not yet finished. I don’t want to reveal my plans just yet, but the more astute viewer might note that this illustration can actually be tiled.

Sort of interesting, right?
