10x14", Pencil, ink, & digitalHi everybody. This is another spot for the Indypendent. The article was about how poor economics in our country are taking a tole on Asian countries whose economy is derived from the production and export of goods made for sale in the western world (ie, "made in china"). The article made mention of the strife that's happening as a result of these massive factory layoffs, and warned of more violence to come.
The idea came from the dragon closely defending and gripping onto the factory, with a threat of danger in its eye. I actually spent a day showing a progression of this piece to groups of elementary school students as a favor to a friend of mine who teachers computer science. The idea was to show the kids how I use the computer as a tool in my work, as a follow up to their recently completed assignments in the Gimp (which is like a freeware Photoshop?). It was a little odd to talk to kids about this kind of stuff, but their enthusiasm and questions were really fun to field. With the exception of the 8th grade. Yeah, they really didn't care.
PS- always fun to do dragons. The below are sketches for the piece.

I visited my old high school and the teacher asked me to say a few words about Art school,it was an art class, but they were so uninterested, it was a little hard to go on. I guess the older kids get the less enthusiasm they have...or they were just tired. Nice piece and sketches!
Gnarly piece! I really like all the work you've been pumping out lately. Congrats and keep pumping!
