Concussion

Last weekend I went to a punk show in Downtown San Jose. People started thrashing around forming a mosh pit of sorts (as they do at these things), and in my attempt to move out of the way I got thrown back and hit my head on the concrete. I lost consciousness and wound up in the hospital. All in all, I am lucky to walk away with a simple concussion, some mild side effects, and a good story.

I don't remember much of what happened, but I wanted to record the images and feelings I could remember after hitting my head. I mean, how often do you get an opportunity like this? These are the results.

As I was working on these I found that my head ache was coming back, I was getting dizzy, and an overall feeling of panic was setting in. It was fascinating, and I'm glad I thought to record these feelings.

(These drawings were the ones to end my current Sketch Journal, I'll be doing a post on that sometime soon.)

Crayola Figures

I always like to find new and interesting tools to use for figure drawing, I find it to be very motivating and liberating. I haven't been to figure drawing in quite some time, so I thought Crayola Crayons would be a good choice this week. Here are a few of my favorite drawings from the session.

Head Slices

This is a drawing I did based on a photograph I find very inspiring. I edited some things out, and added some flares of my own.
