FACEPOCALYPSE

I did this caricature of Jon Foster for my Media unit at TAD. It’s actually my first finished charcoal piece. I’d always avoided charcoal because I never liked holding grainy media; it used to give me shivers. Anyway, if you don’t know Jon’s work you really need to check it out. Now. His work is incredible.

A picture of the man himself beside the portrait.

Jon does a few demo oil paintings at the San Fran POD.

Jarkko the crazy Finnish viking and myself display our enthusiasm while Jon paints.

Went to the 2nd session of a 3-part fashion illustration/design course today at which there was an hour of life drawing, with easels and all! Unfortunately I missed the first half hour, but here’s a 10 minute pose.

The rest of the workshop consisted of fashion design with a focus on recycling and combining old clothes. Creativity and craziness was encourage. I started work on a ‘pant hat’, and will likely publish the final result after the final session in 2 weeks. I’m totally reinventing belts as headwear though. Remember where you heard it first – I’m the next fashion pioneer.
