Papercut

Hey Blog, and back to our normal illustrating program.

Magical Pencil Indeed

space
Ah, it's the end of the week again Blog. I was at The Society of Illustrators for their Jazz & Sketch night last night and greatly enjoyed myself as always. I tried something slightly different from usual and did most of my drawings with a Magic Pencil, which is usually found in high schools and beginner art classes, but is ridiculously fun. Also, if it's good enough for Milton Glaser, it's good enough for me. The above image was actually done on the subway on the way home. The rest are from Jazz & Sketch.

Phone Gone *updated*

Hi Blog, just got back from Texas, but minus one smart phone. Its somewhere in Charlotte, NC and hopefully on its way back here. Therefore I won't be answering any calls for at least 24 hours, but rest assured I'll have phone access again by Thursday at the absolute latest. If you need to contact me just email me at richtu@richtu.com, as I'll be checking my email regularly.

Also, I did a color version of the drawing above, but went with simplicity. Look at the alternate here.

*update* My new phone arrived (which was FAST), so I'm a complete person again. Feel free to call me at the same number (973.868.9342).

Wren Bjorg Preview

space
Good evening Blog. I'm leaving for Texas on Wednesday and want to get this post in for the week. I recently joined an artist collective called Wren Bjorg in which the participants start pieces and mail them off to other participants until all the work has been fully collaborated upon. I finally found a moment to begin my pieces and work on the ones sent to me (Thanks Shannon!). So here's a preview before I mail them off into the ether. The black & white drawings are my starters, while the others were initiated by the wonderful Shannon Rankin, which I subsequently worked on.

Also, I must thank the lovely and freakishly talented Gina Shiappacasse for being so generous and patient with me while drawing, and for putting up with my crippling indecisiveness.



We're All Guilty Of It

Hey Blog. I'm kicking a minor cold that I had all week, but I'm pretty sure I'm over the hump. I have to work on a poster this weekend so that's good news. Also, I finally saw Moon, directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell. Great flick, it really hearkens back to a 60's vibe. Great stuff.

Today's drawing is just a thought that I had yesterday while in a conversation. Done very quickly, that's pretty much the point.

I'll see you next week, hopefully with a head less full of phlegm.

*update* If you're curious, I did adjust the image (Probably because I was thinking too hard about it).
