I am not contained between my hat and boots

Ink and watercolor in the sketchbook. Got 4 pages left in my sketchbook, trying to fill them up so I can start a fresh one. End of spring break seems like a good time to finish a book.

Also, I just discovered Librivox.org. They organize books that are in public domain, then volunteers record readings of these books and return the free audiobooks to the web. I'm listening to Leaves of Grass right now, and I'm about to download Ulysses.

I love coffee and coffee loves tea

Just a quick something or another. I don't use walnut ink nearly enough.

Couple of experiments to procrastinate. Who knows, could become a series until I get it right. Ink & watercolor.

New piece and some other stuff

New piece for my portfolio, this one is ink and watercolor. It is based on an article in The New Atlantis titled Military Robots and the Laws of War. Below is the ink before any watercolor is applied.




This self portrait was executed in lino-cut, ink, and watercolor.


Lastly, a cityscape in ink and watercolor. Straight analog, no digital.

Streisguth.com

It's official, Streisguth.com went live this afternoon, around 4pm EST. Though it is still under construction, I am pleased to have a small presence on the internet. Please add it to your bookmarks. I will updating pretty consistently to expand my portfolio, add a section of sketch/experimental stuff, and generally make it awesome.

Please leave any issues or bugs encountered on my site in the comments here. The only problem I have found so far are some mouseover issues involving the linked images. As far as I can tell, it works fine on Safari, but not Firefox. I am currently pulling my hair out in a vain attempt to fix it.

From the last few days

Been playing around with a slightly new technique, which has been very exciting (if you're around me at all, I'm sure I haven't shut up about it). Anyway, I'm partly through the Ely's, though I'm hesitant to post anything until after the show. Maybe I'll jump the gun. The top image is Stanley Kubrick filming the path of the sun over the course of 8 months. More here. Kubrick did not actually film the sun, but he did take a notoriously long time on set to film.


This is just a straight up portrait of the master himself (Kubrick).





'Boring as fuck' still life experiment.

Late Night Post!

Because I can't seem to sleep before 4am anymore, I'm posting some sketchbook happiness.


Just a skull (and some redorange)


Some brainstorming for my 2nd thesis piece.



I'm pretty into this drawing.



Not a comfortable place to rest your eyes.
