in december of 2012, i was contacted by the curators of the denver redbubble meetup and informed that my piece, doomed devotion, would be framed and included in the show at ananda art & tattoo shop. unfortunately, i was out of town during the event. i was also told that it was shown at the san francisco event, too. nice.
doomed devotion:
a pic from the set-up:
i bought my first professional tablet. the intous5. in order to get acquainted with some of it’s features, i decided to try doing a portrait illustration. i watched a couple of quick tutorials on shadowing and blending. so, actually, this is one of my first modeled portraits, as well. i could have spent more time on the contours but decided that overlaying a texture was a quick enough fix to let me move on. i still have to learn more of it’s features that are made to help you be more productive and i can already tell that this thing is a time saver… and fun.
this was done off of a picture of my mom, as she is constantly on my mind and in my heart. r.i.p.
first final creation:
the actual final creation which scrapped all of the shading work to fit in more with the theme:
the creation stages:
my first homemade piñata… an anatomical heart. fittingly, i began making this when i was in love. by the time i finished, i was heartbroken. as much as i want to tear into this, i feel weird about participating in such a symbolic act of destroying my own heart. so, i’m going to try and sell this…
it looks small but the main body alone is a little bigger than a human head.
i have been waiting to see anything of mine printed… either live or on the web. …and waiting. …and waiting. …and waiting.
it’s finally happened. yay.
a couple of years ago, i entered a hackaday logo redesign contest to be printed on t-shirts. i didn’t win. either way, my design and my blog entry still get a good portion of my overall hits. and now, somebody used my design entry to write a tutorial on how to make a diy direct-to-garment (dtg) printer. niiice…
… … … oh, there’s also a video.

i search the internet every once in awhile for “asyrum” to see what sites are linking to my products so that i can put them in the “playing tag” section. in doing so, i just found the weirdest thing yet…
someone stole my asyrum ouija board image from my business cards and it looks like they glued it to a domino and put it on a necklace. weird.
anyhow, it’s on ebay… it’s too silly for me to worry about getting a creative license or anything… check it:
another funny part about this is that the seller wrote the description saying:
“The Mystic Oracle”
This image is from an actual Asyrum Ouija Board. The pendant is a vintage plastic domino, that is hand glazed with a glass like finish. The Aanraku bail is silver plated, and the FREE 17 inch chain is a silver tone metal ball chain.
Thank you for viewing my auction.☺
but, there is no such thing as an “asyrum ouija board” — ha. i just couldn’t use the word “ouija” in my design because it’s copyrighted.
silly.
