A friend. The source photo looked more like he’d just stepped on a lego but the caricature quickly devolved into a mad scientist/evil genius, so I just went with it.

When I posted this on facebook, the man himself wrote: “…it is a thing of outstanding beauty. Then again, look at the material you had to work with, ;0)}}}}”
What a guy. What an incredibly tall, hairy guy.

Crow - experimenting with Construct 2 »
NB: PROTOTYPE EXPERIMENT! An interactive crow game made with Construct 2 (free version), a game creating program that takes away the necessity of being a programmer… although I think it still helps to have that logical mindset. Mostly I wanted to see if I could create a certain aesthetic, which I was basically successful in doing. Use the arrow keys to move, [up] to jump/fly, [shift] to peck and [space] to caw.

From the archives. This print was from my college senior show, a series of film noir-inspired duotone prints that I collectively called This City Is A Stomach (yeah, somewhere I have the poem I wrote from which that title comes). Except that I didn’t use this particular print. This was a happy experiment that in hindsight I wish I’d had the confidence to do with the entire series. It’s just that after spending a week with a really big, wonky, uncooperative mega-printer you don’t want to possibly screw everything up by purposefully splashing water all over your nice and shiny prints.
But the effect is kinda exactly the sort of thing I wanted. Next time.
