Rodarte Diptych

Post-graduation Michael reporting, with the final for my Rodarte diptych. These images include select outfits from Rodarte's fall 2010 collection, a beautiful suite of looks inspired by the sleepwalking maquiladora workers of Northern Mexico and the cruel fates that they've met in the recent past. These pieces are both an homage to the collection and a memorial to the victims who were payed respect by it.

Something of An End

It's really nice to see this body of work completed and hanging in a show. It really is the end of a great part of my life, being a student at MICA. I'm going to miss it terribly.

New OUT Portrait

I've been a busy boy lately. This is a portrait of the lovely author and gender theorist Kate Bornstein, done for OUT magazine's new American Classic section.

New Gilt Illo

This one is probably one of my favorite illustrations that I've done for Gilt [MAN]ual. Just a simple set of drawings to show how different vent styles look.

American Illustration 29

A month or two ago I applied to the American Illustration 29 competition. I submitted a portfolio of ten images, called it a night, and waited patiently. Today, I was very humbled, ecstatic, and honored to find out my Dropped Drawers piece was selected to be in the American Illustration 29 annual. I can't begin to describe this -- I'm just so happy and relieved to know that all of the hard work pays off. My heart is in this work, and I'm glad and humbled to know that it's appreciated!

Rodarte

I'm doing a new piece with Rodarte's fall '10 collection. Here is a study I did today in preparation for it.
