Broken Cosmos

Here are a few of my telescope drawings.  The idea came from the time I took an astronomy class with a broken telescope.  As you can see at first I couldn't think of a way to show a broken telescope so I put a lame bandage on it.  Once again, after meeting with my professor, he suggested the moon and stars in the view of the telescope be broken to communicate perhaps not that the telescope was broken but the view of them was broken.  I think this is another one of those that can be looked into too much but I like it better that my first "book" sketch!  The odd telescope on the top left is a result of looking directly at my telescope and trying to make a black and white drawing of it (I know it looks a little wierd).  A few drawings later and I arrived at the one on the bottom left.  The plan is to make the lens with the broken cosmos a whole lot bigger and keep the bottom squished like you see here but to make it less flat.

Colorado Vacation

Giving up the previous stories as hopeless and boring I tried to show mountain biking and alpine sliding in Colorado.  The ideas shown here aren't very exciting but I'm hopeful that the story will go somewhere.  After visiting with my professor, he have me the idea of putting the mountains and slide in the bike (like a replacement for one of the bars) so that it still looks like a bike, but also has the story inside of it.  Neat huh?

The Rookie Experiment

These are my very first sketches. The one on the left is supposed to show how at first I hated reading, then I really liked it. . . . When shown to others the meaning became deeper: life.  The sketch on the right was an attempt to communicate that I got a guitar as a gift and I loved it.  People understood that it was a gift but not that I loved it (they believed the guitar should be in a heart rather than the heart being in the guitar).
