Death or Porn
I have been signed up for this screen print portfolio exchange that was created by my friend James title "Death or Porn" and this is what I made for it. It's a little bit more graphic (content wise that is) then what I usually make, but why not step outside of you comfort zone and indulge yourself once in a while.

Mody Dick 4
Moby Dick 3
In this piece I tried to make the tail of the whale look huge and imposing. I was working with a very central composition, but bent the tail to give it a little movement. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, although I was toying with the idea of changing the hue of the cloud to more of a red to fit with the other images. I like the play between the intense black of the clouds and the stark white of the tail so I didn't change it, but I think I might later to make it fit into the series.
Moby Dick 2
In this piece I tried working scratch board into the piece. I have been working with scratch board for my comic, and I was trying to find a good way to work color into the otherwise black and white composition. I used scanned watercolor washes under the ink work to incorporate texture into the colored areas. I also tried locking the black ink layer and coloring over it, but it lost a lot of the contrast that I like. It also looked awkward because the coloring over the black was very flat and I was going for a more gritty feel. I got a lot of flack for the composition of the piece, and I agree that it looks awkward. If you couldn't guess the two white lumps with the black lump between is supposed to a drowning man. I have since learned to take more time when composing an image.
