Carica-Zoo-cowboys drawings

I bet you are wondering what the Title means. Well it is a combination word for all the drawings you are about to see, commonly referred to as a compound word like fireman or .....nonfireman...anyways, here are some zoo drawings I did last week. I've decided to start doing this more frequently so I bought a year pass for the family for 70 bucks, sure beats the 20 bucks for just one trip to the Zoo (I haven't been to the zoo, I think, since I was just a wee little lad learning the mysteries of the multiplication table.)










And here is some practice drawings for a possible Caricature job at the Zoo.\ The first three are of some friends. I put a photo next to the drawing for comparison. I got to find a photo of the last guy, though.






And this one I did while watching TV is......Well, if you can't tell, then I guess I haven't done my job. I'll be posting a lot more caricatures in a little bit.



Please note that this image does not mean I support or don't support Hilary Clinton it is just the best background I could think of . The only political candidate on record I will support, is me. As we speak (or as I type and you squint to read the words on your bright computer moniter) my campaign committee lawyers are working on a loop hole in the 35 year old age limit so I can run. Surely if a 12 year old girl can play in a mature adult golf tornament, then it must be unconstitutional to deny an adult, based upon age, for presidential candidacy.

And here is a quick sketch I did for the new blog I joined called Creation Engines. It is some inspiring and great artwork on there so check it out. It's a bunch of San Jose State students (and me) posting artwork pertaining to a 2 week topic. You'll see the link on the side.

Doing an poster for freelance. It supposed to look like a movie poster, but it is for classroom settings. These are just some of the rough thumbnails. For reference, I looked at movie posters, alot of Clint Eastwood stuff, Scareface, etc.







On the bottom left of the first page, you have from left to right- Oppenheimer, Lawrence, Groves, Fermi, and Teller.

Too bad this is just an imitation of a movie poster. From doing some research, it sounds like it could be a good movie (unless it already is, in which case you could probably watch the movie instead of reading the rest of this). You got interesting characters, all of who have differing opinions of the ethics of whether it should be used, an issue which has good arguments on both sides. I think one of the most interesting scientist of the Mahattan group was Edward Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb. Even when working on the Mahattan Project, he is already thinking 7 years ahead to the creation of the H-BOMB, a weapon much more devastating than the Atom Bomb, and later plays a part in the trial that ultimately gets the respected lead scientist, Oppenheimer's security clearence to the nuclear program revoked. Oppenheimer had previously opposed the developement of the Hydrogen bomb. A fellow scientist, said of Teller "I really do feel it would have been a better world without Teller....I think he's an enemy of humanity." Wow, those are harsh words! With Oppenheimer holding a more 20th century notion that with man's increased control over the natural world, there might in turn be certain moral responsibilities that scientists have, and Teller holding a more traditional approach that a scientist sole responisibility is to expand man's knowledge, I could see some great character moments between those two. And all this against the backdrop of World War II times. Sounds like a good drama to me.
