If it looks violent, I did my job! It was an Illustration class sketchbook assignment, to make an image that looks like a song sounds. The song was by THRICE, "The Earth Will Shake". To listen to it, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFhUXe5vqAY">click here and open a new tab.</a> Just like going to the movies! Heh, I hope. <div><br /></div><div> One idea I had while doing this piece was to do little mini comic books, that would last as long to read as the song it followed. THRICE's music is very narrative by nature, so it lends itself to this kind of exploration. It's very visceral as well, hence the crazy brush marks. If you're familiar with MAD artist Basil Wolverton, I hope I would not be boasting to say this piece reminds me of his stuff, "spaghetti and meatballs" style, as people called it. He's dead, but you can <a href="http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=basil%20wolverton&oe=UTF-8&um=1&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw">check his stuff out here.</a></div>Aaron Kapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11044510951212958564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152742753254263377.post-30195343052389309662009-12-17T16:04:00.001-08:002009-12-17T16:18:00.177-08:00Some random drawings!

These were fun to do! Its funny now, because at the time the concept was just for fun, something to catch a students eye as they pass millions of other crappy flyers in the hallway; but, yesterday, in a separate church I attend, the pastor made a reference to astronauts being protected by space suits the way that the understanding of the word of God protects us from sin. I suppose God is using me to make sermon illustrations!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>I think blogger has something against me posting the astronaut image right-side-up, because I have tried every way I can think of, and it's not working. So, if you want to see its full glory, save the image to your computer, open it in whatever image-viewing program you have, and rotate it. I'll give you 10 extra Santa "good deed" points if you do that. Redeem them for cash prizes from Santa, the pagan deity.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6bbeKInD2RI/SyaU1SAMSsI/AAAAAAAAAHM/5e7MXzMxzzQ/s1600-h/emmausflyer.jpg"></a><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6bbeKInD2RI/SyaU1SAMSsI/AAAAAAAAAHM/5e7MXzMxzzQ/s1600-h/emmausflyer.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px; " src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6bbeKInD2RI/SyaU1SAMSsI/AAAAAAAAAHM/5e7MXzMxzzQ/s400/emmausflyer.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415179245046221506" /></a><br />Basically, I wanted to draw a bus in the woods.

We had to listen to a song and draw an image that fit the song. So, naturally, because I wanted to draw something violent, I popped in my Thrice album "Vheissu", and starting imagining real hard to track 3: "The Earth Will Shake". So, if you're feeling savvy, to get the full experience on this one, look up that song and listen to it as you gaze at my unfinished drawing. I also recommend girding your loins prior to listening to that Thrice song, because you might soil your drawers with so much awesomeness flooding your senses. Also, please listen to it at full volume and pretend you've been locked in solitary confinement awaiting your freedom that past ten years. Have fun!</span></p><p></p><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6bbeKInD2RI/StId_h5BBGI/AAAAAAAAABA/WnhCyB95W_I/s320/Headlock+Illusvariant2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391404681182381154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 320px; " /></div><div><div><br /></div><div>Here's that same drawing, but live-traced in Adobe Illustrator to make it looked inked.

That's right, Aaron Kapper is actually following through and starting a blog in order to display some of his slightly pretentious and inscrutably esoteric "artwork", talk about stupid bands he kinda likes (the aquabats, for example), mention comics he likes to read (persepolis anyone?), and hopefully succeed in wasting your time in increasingly elaborate, albeit amusing ways (let')!<div><br /></div><div>All coyness aside, I'm excited to get this thing up and running! If you know me, I hope this blog will allow you to know me better by seeing the pictures I spend hours fretting about and occasionally working on, maybe peeking into my many unfinished sketchbooks, and hopefully not rejecting me as a friend because you think I am actually as weird as you always secretly thought I was. Anyways...here we go!</div>Aaron Kapperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11044510951212958564noreply@blogger.com0
