Three Drawings

These three drawings all exhibit a unique perspective.
Fog, the first one, is about atmospheric perspective, shrouding distant objects on a foggy day.
No Buggies, the second one, shows normal one-point perspective in an empty buggy lot.
EV, the third, displays in two-point perspective the bright lights of an electric vehicle charging station at night.

These three drawings are all based on photos I took. And later I ended up copying them for the Sequential Narrative project.

Fog, James C., watercolor pencil on watercolor paper.

No Buggies, James C., ink wash on bristol paper.

EV, charcoal, white charcoal, and terracotta pencil on brown toned paper.

Compassion Posters

These two posters tell of my ceaseless plight to get lazy customers at grocery stores to put their buggies back. The first one is addressed to some passerby who would also be as affected by lazy cart management as I am, whereas the second one is addressed to you yourself. You know what you’ve done.

These posters are supposed to have short links themselves, but my search for websites dedicated to the noble cause of putting the buggy back in its hole proved fruitless. Pretend they link to this page, instead!

Do you want these posters? Unfortunately, they only exist in digital versions. You can still click to view the full-sized ones and download them at your own leisure. Maybe even show it to your friends and family? That’d be nice. I can’t stop you.

Collage Self-Portrait

It’s a self portrait! Made from some old magazines I had laying around – and a box of cokes. It’s an exploration into just what is possible when you’re bored and you have an x-acto knife. I’d done collage before, but it was when I was a kid, and I was surprised at how much muscle memory still remained, even after replacing the safety scissors with a proper cutting implement. You can click on this image to view it in full size, by the way.

How can you be sure it’s actually my face?

You can’t…
