GERLAGER    

BWCW is an acronym for a t-shirt that I’m going to be making. After it’s done I will be uploading drawings and comps from various stages, but right now all I can give is a little taste-ation. Above is a small portion of a digital sketch.

Additionally, I had the good fortune of borrow a Wacom tablet from a co-worker, Maria. This being my first time using a drawing tablet I must say that I’m thoroughly impressed. I want to say that it’s like fishing with dynamite, but it’s more like drawing with an awesome digital pencil with the advantage of Command-Z. Nobody can shake a stick at that.

There’s something exciting about a hands on project that’s different from digital work. Being able to touch and hold something physical sets off different emotions than looking at a computer screen. I get the same great rush every time I set up my screen printer and begin mixing my inks. I think it’s programmed into us as humans. Anyhow, I decided to try something new this summer and start a woodworking project.

I took one wood course about seven years ago and I’ve seen Norm Abrams show enough to know that I’m equipped with neither the right tools nor the experience, but I’m confident beginners luck will be on my side.

The only teaser that I can give out right now is that it involves driftwood and a dust mask. Stay tuned.

This next project that I’m working on is going to be a motion piece made up of a few seemingly unrelated scenes. One of those scenes will include images of scanned banana cross sections. I highly recommend using a scanner to create images. The setup time is unrivaled and it’s possible to achieve some surreal effects rather easily.
