loose tattoo sketch

this is a sketch I did for my friend Tiger's tattoo. I think this basically sums up Tiger, a kid known for his love of comics almost as much as his hatred of police officers. for those of you not familiar with comic history it's Krazy Kat's Ignatz Mouse throwing the brick.

chat roulette life drawing

This was for my Visual Journalism class with Alain. I wanted to do portraits of people I met on chat roulette since you really can't get a more random assortment of models. that one guy yelling was pretty nice, but everyone else was a dick (literally in one case)

HOLY SHIT!

Over half my Post-its sold in the first day! you guys rock!

long term investment remake

I am much more satisfied with this version of the drawing though a lot of things still bug me about it. mainly the fact that I can't draw gorillas worth a damn.

long term investment

I don't know how happy I am with the pencil in this. I'm thinking about redrawing it in pen, what do you guys think?

just got back the post its from the show...

Got my post it notes back in the mail on saturday. Ended up only selling one but it was just cool to be in it with so many artists I look up to. Thanks to Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson for curating the show as well as Johnny Ryan for showing them my work. you all kick ass! if anyone is interested in buying one I am selling these for $10 each, just hit me up at willlaren@yahoo.com to see if the one you want is still available.

zodiac illustrations for school

This week in Dan Krall's class I had to do a bunch of illustrations of the zodiac for a fictional magazine. my "theme" was drawing the zodiac symbols in a way that related to a celebrity of that sign:



TAURUS: Uma Thurman (from kill bill vol.I)
this drawing was by far my favorite drawing. something about that bull crammed into a skintight tracksuit.



GEMINI: Prince (older superbowl performance prince)
this drawing is definitely a close second for my favorite drawing. the actual drawing of it was pretty frustrating though. I still don't feel like I totally captured Prince's face here. that's partly why I tossed that awful drawing of a crying dove in the background, but mostly because I was scared that the drawing wasn't as "cartoony" as the others and it might stick out.


SCORPIO: Rodney Dangerfield (no specific role, just doing that face he always does)



PISCES: Kurt Russel (as snake plissken)



CAPRICORN: Anthony Hopkins (as Hannibal)



CANCER: Tom Cruise (from risky business)
cancer was the one I was the least happy with. I guess it just is harder than I thought to pick out physical features that would make a crab recognizable as Tom Cruise.
