Basically just looking for somewhere to post this for Fantasy Football. I love Tom Brady.

If you want to read some of the poems from the book, visit www.mattbeynon.com
And if you like what you see, then order a copy from Amazon or an e-Book from the iBookstore

A Pig on Stilts
A pig on stilts will never be
Attractive
Nor make sense to me.
To stand upon two skinny things
Does not reduce obesity.

Mirror Mirror
Who is the fairest of them all?
Nevermind.
I can see the fairest of them all is me.
My beautiful eyes
My flowing hair.
I must be this fair everywhere.

When pigs fly with JETPACKS!
And these little piggies went WEEEEEEEEEE! all the way home.
Drawn on tracing paper with charcoal in layers, scanned, and colored in Photoshop.

The Death of King Arthur- Cut Paper
This was fun exploring the use of some new tools in Photoshop, such as bevel/emboss, dropshadows, and creating brushes. I also enjoyed taking on a subject I haven't tackled before...medieval people!

Hair-a-sites! Digital Illustration Midterm
Help! I've got hair-a-sites!
I don't know what to do!
They latch on just like parasites
and become a part of you!
I first saw them in the shower
as I was getting clean.
Hair appeared in places
that I had never seen!
They've latched on to my armpits.
I've got some on my chest.
They're growing in my belly button!
I'm getting very stressed!
They latch on tight and won't let go!
I pull them out, but they regrow!
I shave them off but soon they show!
Oh no!
I've got hair-a-sites!
Pharyl the Country Pigeon
Pharyl the Country Pigeon
I've been developing a story about a pigeon named Pharyl who was raised in rural France on a farm. He and a couple of his friends go on a life changing adventure to London where Pharyl finds his true identity and destiny.
I've been developing a story about a pigeon named Pharyl who was raised in rural France on a farm. He and a couple of his friends go on a life changing adventure to London where Pharyl finds his true identity and destiny.
Here is primary group of characters! Pharyl is insecure, sarcastic, humorous, and just wants to find a place where he fits in. Little does he know he is a small carrier pigeon with a big destiny!
Fleur is a pig with OCD about cleanliness. She is timid but sincere.
Olivia is fun loving, care-free, and wildly attractive.
Victor is strong willed, courageous, and a little bit dense.
To better develop my character, I created a sculpture of him out of Super Sculpey! And let me tell you...that stuff is awesome!
The first step is to create an armature, which is essentially a wire skeleton, of your character. Using 12 gauge wire helps the skeleton to be nice and strong. This armature is inserted into a wooden base, and the joints are reenforced with epoxy putty.
Around the skeleton, I put aluminum foil, which helps build up the sculpture, and helps the sculpey to not be too thick. Thinner Sculpey= less chance of cracking!
This is Pharyl when he is roughed in, and without legs. It is best to smooth the sculpey as much as possible at this point because once it's fired, smoothing gets pretty tricky. I smoothed the surface of Pharyl with moisturizing hand sanitizer which seemed to work well because of the lotions and the alcohol.
This is Pharyl, post firing. You fire a sculpey sculpture in a regular oven. I baked Pharyl at *200 degrees for 7 hours or so. Hardly any cracking! Yes, his eyes are beads :)
Before the paint was applied, I smoothed the fired surface with dental tools, wet/dry sandpaper, and fine grade steel wool. The final step is to spray with a matte grey primer.
Looks pretty good for my first Super Sculpey experience!
