Zettwoch's Suitcase: May 2012

The Shadow out of Providence Kickstarter

I'm honored to be a part of this new project currently up for funding on Kickstarter: The Shadow out of Providence: A Lovecraftical Metatext.

I'm contributing production drawings, costume designs, and set diagrams for the play-within-the-book FACTS CONCERNING THE LATE EADWEARD THURSTON AND HIS FAMILY. Here are some sketches for the sketches:

I know everyone has been dying to know how I would handle illustrating a work of Brechtian Anti-Realism. You'll have to fund the Kickstarter to find out! Hint: it involves a lot of creaky gears, wires and dudes hiding inside crazy monster costumes.

This is a different project than I've ever worked on before, so please think about contributing to help keep me in india ink, bow ties, and smokes:

Eads' Diving Bell Cycle

This print was done for the 2012 ArtCrank bike poster show here in St. Louis.

It's sort of a fantastical sequel to this older EADS print I had done a few years ago.

Fun with Fluorescence

Above is a sneak peek at a new print I'm debuting at this year's ARTCRANK art show in St. Louis, opening this Friday night. My print is a combination of Mississippi River colored ink (brown), Victorian-era turquoise, and Hot Fluorescent Orange. Here were some tests:

Below is a big print I made a few months ago based on this one-page comic I had in the Studygroup 12 comics anthology (issue #4).
