Cannibal Animals

The American Royal is a livestock show, barbecue competition, and rodeo that takes place annually in Kansas City, Missouri.

I took their branding and rubbed cannibalism all over it. Because their barbecue is too good to resist is the idea.

Belly Bites

I made a dog treat box for school and it's adorable. Look at it's lickity little tongue and woobly little legs.

The paper it's sitting on is a class critique. I've been working on this project for a week or so, and this is the second iteration of this box. As you can infer from the sheer quantity of notes on the template, there will certainly be a third.

So crack open its skull and feed your pets with the innards of this adorable little doggy box! It's technically not cannibalism!

An Absurd Memory

New assignment! This is one of the first projects we as students have done for an outside client. The goal was to capture the essence of seven short plays by renowned playwright Samuel Beckett for an upcoming performance at Johnson County Community College. The plays include:

Act Without Words II: In which two people of disparate personalities are stored in sacks.

Ohio Impromptu: In which an old man reads from a cryptic tome to an old mute man.

What Where: In which there are only five left of a group of four men.

Play: In which three burial urns take turns spinning yarns.

Come and Go: In which three women sit on a bench.

Breath: In which there is breath.

Footfalls: In which a sick child either exists or does not.

Death and confusion play major roles in each performance, which is why my main graphic consists of a sightless skull. The icons overlaid on top represent imagery from the individual acts. They are loosely joined by broken, ashy lines, implying the thematic ties that necessarily join each, but only in a superficial - or broken - nature.
