Bizurkis - Business Cards for Idea #1
Business card #1 - Back (left) and front (right)
Business card #2 - Front (right) and back (left)
Business card #3 - Back (right) and front (left)
I like the idea of a variety of business cards shuffled together.
Bizurkis - Idea #1
Remember the bird project? Here they are ---- now they're umbrellas for a crazy Mary-Poppins themed menu. Original illustrations through-out.
This is idea #1 for Bizurkis.
Menu cover back (left) and front (right) - Idea #1
Menu inside - Idea #1
Menu inside detail (for the mock-up, I ripped the food items off of a Steven Starr menu ... sounds pretty good to me!)

Birds are coming
Bird 1 - Sketch
Bird 1 - Carved linoleum block, 6x9"
Bird 2 - Carved linoleum block, 5x7"
First birds of (hopefully) many; these carved blocks will be used to print a dense, shifting flock.
Still on the swarms, flocks, herds, schools ---- this one will focus on movement in the mass.
We'll see how it goes.

Wasp Nest Sketch
Still haven't found words yet for the swarms, so I'll have to fill you in on that thought process later. But the swarms are still brewing ---- half of this sketch was created on the train this past week, then taken into photoshop and mirrored. sketch for a large painting? nothing?

The jellyfish are coming ...
This sketch has been hanging out for awhile now, patiently waiting for me on the cork-board. In May, alongside the deer, the groundwork for the jellyfish was put together. The "fish in one day," or whatever it was called, was drawn over a photo-transfer layer of the ticker tape of the wall st. journal; the jellyfish will maneuver the real estate section and sheriff sale listings in bucks county. Instead of drawing the jellies, these will be rendered in a thick, slick layer of resin, acrylic, and nail polish. The reality of real-estate-land / foreclosure-land may or may not show through such distraction. In progress:
Jellyfish project officially kicked off in May 2010.
Deer
I started the deer in the beginning of May, and unfortunately, no progress has been added since I've taken these photos. Hopefully I'll have more to share on this guy soon!
Deer - May 2010 - Pen & Ink - size?

The Snowman
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

Earl
I don't know what's going on with the goats. I just keep drawing goats. I don't especially like actual goats, but I do really enjoy drawing them.

The bird illustrations are part of a bit of an experiment; these will soon be morphing into new things. Check back soon.
