Most People Probably Don't Make This Cake for Birthdays

But since we don't have any men around that are coming out, we thought we'd use our awesome penis cake pan for Liz's 21st birthday. The fact that it's a rainbow cake is just because rainbow cakes are so damn pretty.

The distribution between colors from balls to tip was a bit uneven, but we still filled 'er up.

Pretty bowls. :) We accidentally washed green through violet before we realized this was a pretty picture.
It looks a bit like a tye-dyed penis.
We decided to go with a nice, pinky peach tone of frosting. Special attention was given to the scrotum texture.
Oh, by the way, Liz appreciated our efforts.

Good Morning, Decades

...and now, since it's approaching four in the morning, I am going to go to bed. Did you know that sea lions aren't born with the ability to swim? (Morning news is on.)

Here Are the '60s

Just making sure you were paying attention. This is the '80s. I think I might darken the line work a little.

...and Dusty

All done! It looks roughly 6.7% like Miss Amy Sedaris, but I stopped caring quite a while ago. Purple Dusty looks more like himself if you ask me. I still like it.

Easter, 26 Days Later

Because they're supposedly awesome-sauce (and also really cute) I tried making some of these macaroons way back when for Easter. They were "raspberry" flavored, by way of some raspberry jam in the filling, though it really wasn't enough to bring the taste upfront. Mostly they were just fun to look at. The taste... eh. Pretty bland and not exactly sweet.
Also, here is an Easter bunny, made especially out of ham and mashed potatoes. Note the cross made out of forks. For the record, this photo is sideways, but no matter how many times I rotate it, it still uploads crooked. So tilt your head.

Amy Preview

What are you talking about? Amy Sedaris looks exactly like this! (I'm working on my last assignment for portraiture class, picturing my personal idol. Just so happens I'm very happy with the way this is going and because of that I couldn't care less that it's totally unrecognizable. Come on man, rodeo bunny!)

Kink Preview

Just a little taste of what I'm working on in my printmaking class. I'm saving the "ew" parts for later.

Skinny Jimmy

For another portraiture assignment- one where we were given randomly generated sentences describing various characters. It was a tossup between Jimmy and some giant lady who ate cigarettes before "she came," and I like my Jimmy sketch more. Plus I'm doing kinky old ladies for another assignment...

Skinny Jimmy Sketch

I love drawing old people.

Doodle?

For someone. :)

Sweet Tweets, Take Two

After critique I tweaked some things with my birds, so here is the final final result for all eight spots. My favorite just might be the bike messenger guy.

Tweet Spots

Some of the spots I did for new class competition for an article about Milwaukee tweets for Milwaukee Magazine. Sorry they're a little blurry, I just took some quick screen shots before going to bed. I'm not sure if I like the offset background or the centered one yet. Here are some of both.

Bus Driver Offerings

Because some teachers are cruel, they assign things like "illustrate an embarrassing moment you've had while going to MIAD" and then I end up drawing things like this... because I am a pervert. Chelsey had forgotten her bus pass so I was merely making the suggestion that she offer the bus driver something else in exchange for his services, however I managed to do so while a big tour of potential MIAD students was being led right past us in the illustration studios. My bad, heh?

These were my two options for how to illustrate that equivalent of shouting "blowjob!"- popular vote elected the second.

Before, when the lines were all brown and stuff.

Finished version. Some things I want to change, but overall I'm happy with it. I changed my embarrassing moment late in the game so that coupled with Easter caused me to rush a little bit at the end, but for something that was primarily done in one night, I like it.
