Hive Mind

Just finished this one - worked up from a painting I did while in India, it's about the growing network of information and communication that is creating a new form of collective intelligence.  Been watching too much Ray Kurzweil lately.

Roots

Just finished this one yesterday, its about our genetic roots as humans, back to the days of apes in the jungle.  Its really part of a series I'm working on, I'll post the results as I finish them.

Connected

Just got back from 3 months studying Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, India.  Probably the single greatest experience of my life so far.  Here's a tidied up sketch I did while I was over there, just thinking about consciousness and the universe - inside and out. 

Visual Dialogue

These were all done for my Visual Dialogue class. It was all about attempting to push visual communication as far as we could, in addition to dealing with some "controversial" content, pushing the boundaries of what we would typically be allowed to do. The first and second images from the top were based on the sins of wrath and greed, and the bottom two were "social awareness" images, based on corporate exploitation. I suppose because of the weird concepts that were encouraged in class, my drawings got a little weird there for a bit. It produced some interesting results though.

Old Stuff

This is some stuff from early this year, it's all based on the theme of communication and ideas... the way what we say and think about the world are often different, and how that is almost always different from the way the world actually is. I had some fun with the theme, but the whole word/thought bubble thing got old for me pretty quick. I didn't really take it as far as it can go for sure, but as a device to really drive my illustrations by itself, I got fed up pretty quick. I do intend to explore that device in future work, I just don't want to base a whole series around it.
