Here's a screen capture showing how I illustrated the "Giant Mutant Bird" image. Unfortanutely I ran out of disk space halfway through so I couldn't capture the rest of the design process. But I think it covers a good amount of the illustration.

I'd also like to credit Alex Hannah with creating the score for the video.

Greetings fellow blog scanners! I have a great announcement to share with you! I will be showcasing some of my art at the "1st Thursdays" art exhibit at the Orlando Art Museum. If you're in town and want to stop on by and check out some really awesome artwork feel free to!


Thursday, May 7, 2009 A to Z: Anthropomorphism and Zoomorphism Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human forms or characteristics to non-human beings or objects, and zoomorphism is the use of animal forms in the same way. Think: personification of inanimate objects or abstract things such as emotions, machines, shape-shifters, the weather, cars, gods and goddesses, patterns using animal imagery, mythological beings, etc.

Here it is, another illustration in the "Giant Mutant Killer Creatures" series! In this one instead of using toxic waste in liquid form like in previous illustrations, I used it in a smoke form. I thought this would be the best since the birds are in the air instead of on the ground.

Enjoy!

Here's an image I created called "Giant Mutant Killer Crab," it's a crab that has been mutated by toxic waste (seen on it's head) into a giant creature who wrecks havoc upon it's environment!



Here are some random close up shots to give you a better view of all the detail that went into this piece.




And here is the prepro image for this piece.

Here’s something awesome, I had some of my artwork show up as the cover art for the album “Seafood EP” by Antonie Caesar. Below is what the album art looks like along with an awesome article about the artist.



This next bit comes courtesy of Really Really Big Records, Antoine Caesar’s Seafood EP. This offering is a bit of a break from RRBR’s usual offering of warm prog; instead, they have opted to get their feet wet in the realm of techno (No worries, they will still kick out that progressive stuff that you might happen to know and, if you know it, love). Anyways, three tracks; Live Lobster, Seafood, and a remix of Seafood by Aneuria. Nautical puns will ensue.

A new illustration I just finished called “the Wendigo”!

So what’s a Wendigo? Well, in short the Wendigo is a mythological creature that takes form when a human performs acts of cannibalism.

A first in a new series to come, my “Killer Mutant Creatures” collection will feature some crazy creatures that have been mutated into giant monsters who wreck havoc upon anyone who dares enter in their environment.

This series will play off all those classic “Godzilla” and B-Horror movies. So keep watch, soon I will release a new image in the series this week!

Here’s a second image in my series of “Killer Mutant Creatures.” Here a giant mutant penguin attacks an eskimo village. There’s still some work that needs to be done in this piece and I’ll probably update it later this week, but hey it’s coming along!
