It's been a while..so here's my June update!

Here's a tattoo i've been working on (more recently) for my best friend. Still workin out a few issues as this is only a preliminary sketch, just to see how he feels about it. He had me read this Native American legend, and then told me to draw whatever came to mind. God, i love doing that. It's nice to get a break from people being really particular with what they want, especially with tattoos not really dealing with my style..but i'll have to adapt to them at some point.. Anyways, yea..this is what i've come up with so far, i'm thinking of taking out some linework on the turtles back and replacing it with something else..other symbolism from the legend perhaps. yea, that'd be sick. be on the lookout!

Oh..and keep that Heart movin//

Throwback#2// A Timelapse of History/Fall 2009

Created with my older brother in mind, film producer Mike Krumlauf and myself collaborated on and off for a month(or two) back in the Fall of 2009, intertwining two different mediums for a remarkable end piece. I focused on my brothers' history(which mostly associating with school/extracurricular activities. at the time this was created, he was currently enrolled at NIU), so i incorporated icons of where he's been and certain highlights of such/ my ingrained first impression of NIU. It was a good piece to mess around with, considering i got the canvas for free.. Fun times on this project, definitely worth the back pain i got from this piece. If you have 11:38 minutes, please, it'll be worth your time.//




oh..and just realized i had posted this way earlier in the year..there's that bad memory again..woops..
