When in doubt, give them art. - 2

AuthorRAE! DateMonday, January 18, 2010 at 11:34AM

Happy 2010! Oh 10, oh yea! Welcome to the new year everyone!

The holidays were very kind to me and busy. I have started a new shoot that takes me around the city and involves specific objects. So far I've completed 2 locations. I still have 5 more areas to shoot in. But thats all I can share with you on that. In the near future I will share the product of that shoot.

There is also a new project that will be starting soon. It involves human subjects...no I'm afraid it will not feature Jeremy Morgan, but he is a subject you will see again. My newest work in this shoot will involve a female. I've come up with some concepts and she and I are excited to see them come to fruition. I must apologize again, for that is all I can share on the matter...for now.

Lets get to the goods. The shot you see below is part of a series I did here in downtown San Francisco. The shoot itself was indeed skate photography. However I decided to take skating into the still life realm. The light on this day was fantastic! The sunset was cracking between buildings and bouncing everywhere. I was very fortunate to have it assist me the way it did. 

The wonderful thing about this photograph was of course the woman on the left side of the frame. She just happened to be walking by and I did not intend for her to be in the shot. In fact I didn't notice her until I took the photo into editing. Her reaction makes the picture. This is the beautiful thing about photography. Often things like this will happen when you go out on shoots in the public. You can't predict what will come into the frame when you shoot and if it so happens to work out like it did in this shot then you may end up with one hell of a picture.

This shot along with the others in the series will go on sale in several different forms. I will have regular prints as well as large canvas prints. There will be more details on that in the coming months. For now I'd like to know what you think so please leave comments. Til next time..keep it 100. Peace.

P.S. This one is for MLK.

When in doubt, give them art.

AuthorRUDY! DateWednesday, December 16, 2009 at 5:10AM

So I wrote this really deep intellectual post about becoming 30. There I was, baring my soul on my site, talking all about growing up and what it is to be a young man standing on the brink of losing the word young and just being simply a "man." 

And I deleted it. I felt like I lacked the proper verbage to explain what I meant. So I let it go. Perhaps another day.

Either way, it feels really good to get older. I enjoy it. Can I just say that? I often feel like Neo from the Matrix. The older I become, the easier it is to read between the lines.

Since that is about all I have to say, I thought I would give you some stuff to chew on. Ladies and Gentlemen:

MORE ART FROM MY NEW COMIC! I chose these two pages because the final panel you will see describes how I feel about getting older perfectly...

Kel is currently working on the letters. As soon as we get them done, I will go into so much more detail about this comic! Word is bond!

Final Note: These pages come from Issue 1. The page from the post below comes from Issue 2. Yes out of order. Yes to confuse you. Glad you noticed.

William just sent me an inked version Page 5 of Issue 2. It seemed only fair that I shared it with you guys as well. Check. Study. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Glorification of Destruction

AuthorRUDY! DateWednesday, December 2, 2009 at 1:29PM

My newest comic script is at the halfway point of being finished. Once I've made some major headway with the 3rd Issue my new artist will begin work on the 1st Issue. Wait till you've seen this new guy. Oh man... You've seen Santiago. You've seen William. But you've NEVER seen this new guy... I get pumped just thinking about what he's going to be bringing to the table!

This new comic is a mobster story. Which was no easy feat. Every type of gangster story has been told in my opinion, and told in every possible medium (movies, books, comics, TV). So where does one go? How does one present a new type of story about a bunch of gangsters doing a bunch of gangster shit?

Therein laid the challenge my friends. But I what I've come up with, what you're going to see, I can assure you has NEVER been done in a gangster story. NEVER. This is a first. I know that's a tall order. I know I may be sticking my neck out to hang, but I promise that you will love what you see...

One of the aspects I'm working with is the glorification of destruction. (And no, this is not the trump card I spoke of in the last paragraph. You're going to have to wait for inks and letters before you see what that's all about.) I wanted to write about the obsession some people have with mutilation of the lives around them, even their own. But I wanted to present it in the way they see it: charming, alluring, sexy, gross in a nice way. Some people gain a strong sense of bravado from recklessness. They feel a certain strength and confidence from acting out in ways that ruin the world around them. I wanted to explore that.

And so I am...

I found this online. The drawing is by an artist named Caleb McCall. I tried looking him up, but could find out very little about him. Maybe you know him? Either way, this drawing is in a small way a cryptic clue as to certain aspects of new comic. I promise it will make sense the second it drops. Ponder. Ponder. Ponder...
