kanom dok bua,
gijinka #art from 2020
a very orange and brown gijinka drawing of a punk-ish girl surrounded by kanom dok bua (lao lotus flower cookies). her outfit, particularly the skirt ruffles of the dress, is inspired by the snack's shape!

screenshot of a work-in-progress piece. this small snippet showcases a repeated stylized doodle of a person with medium length hair and bangs from the bust up. the person opens and closes their eyes, then looks at the viewer.

i don't usually model characters and so i really struggled with modeling hands (a struggle transferable from 2d to 3d) along with giving it proper topology but i finally feel like i got it in a better place! still a #wip tho :)
a screenshot of my work-in-progress 3d model of a devious-looking pizza mascot, gray with no texture work. a closer screenshot of the devious-looking pizza mascot's hand, looking from under. you can see indentations of each finger knuckle.

my digital camera is truly best at flash photography but i'm digging the hazy abstract feels of the #photos i took at the model/actriz show last week
a digital camera photo of a silhouette of cole, the lead singer of model/actriz, holding the microphone and facing the crowd. there's a bright light behind him and the photo is really deep blue. looks kinda hazy but this photo is honestly one of my most "clear" shots of the night lol a digital camera photo of the drummer ruben of model/actriz on drums at the back of the stage, it has a dark black blurry spot on the left bottom corner of the photo which is actually the crowd/audience. the whole photo is dark turquoise with some bits of purple here and there. a digital camera photo of the model/actriz's lead, cole, singing into the mic. this photo is once again, very deep blue with hazy spotlights towards the top of the photo illuminating his silhouette. you can't see his face clearly. a digital camera photo of the drummer, ruben, of model/actriz but this one is the most haziest, blurriest photo of this post. impressionistic as you see the movement (of the camera, crowd, and drummer). unlike the other (blue) photos, this one's super white and foggy. and hardly discernible but i honestly like looking at it.

#wip this lil "cat-like" character is almost done, needs some polish. been working on a second guy as well, also in-progress! 😈🍕
screenshot of my work-in-progress 3D model in Autodesk Maya. It is a t-pose of a "cat-like" creature with a big round face, characteristically long eyebrows, and crab claw. screenshot of my work-in-progress 3D model in Autodesk Maya. It is a t-pose of a pizza mascot with long appendages and a somewhat evil demeanor.

pizza-making tools for a maybe evil mascot guy
(pizza mascot by @pickledsofa) #art
concept art of props i drew up for an upcoming animated short in collaboration with Sofia Azpe @pickledsofa who drew up the Pizza Mascot guy concept. the props here include: rolling pin, rocking/rolling pizza cutters, pizza peels, server. just some ideas of props to use for the short, maybe these props will get a second pass at looking more evil.

cowboy collage mini #zine i made a while back!
front page scan of my cowboy mini-zine on brown construction paper- reads "An epic pilgrimmage West" sideways on top of hazy images of western landscape and a yellow butterfly sticker scan of my cowboy mini-zine on brown construction paper, 2nd & 3rd pages: the 2nd page reads "When the open roads calls, answer it. Nature is a gentle, prudent, and just guide" collaged on top of film, an image of flowers, and a yellow butterfly sticker. 3rd page reads "REMEMBER THIS LAND" collaged on top of vignettes of nature and a mountainous landscape with horses in the foreground scan of my cowboy mini-zine on brown construction paper, 4th & 5th pages: the spread reads "the trees keep secrets. stay close, but not too close" on top of images of trees and grass. on the physical zine, you can lift up the tree image to find a cute little creature hiding but that doesn't show in a scan haha scan of my cowboy mini-zine on brown construction paper, 6th & 7th pages: this spread reads "Deep Thoughts. I felt I had more to say. Will we ever think of ______ the same way again?" collaged on top of film and nature vignettes. There is a photo of a horse that's huge on page 7, insinuating that the horse is thinking these thoughts mayhaps.
