Jack and the Beanstalk

Pencil, graphite powder, ink and digital. 10x27"

Hey guys, I'm graduating. Isn't that sweet? Sweet but weird and scary.

This was the last project (aside from some academic stuff) that I did for my whole college life. Thanks for hanging on these last couple years. I'm going to try and keep up the work flow as much as I possibly can (I'll be doing one or two more pieces before the month is out, that I know for sure), so stay tuned. It should get interesting.

I don't have much to say about these things. I've been looking at them for so long now, I'm just kind of tired. I can say I set out to do something colorful (especially after my largely black and white work last semester) and weird. Expect to see me drawing more pigs soon. They are crazy fun.

  1. Dude.

    These. Are. Awesome. Maybe my favorite thing you've done yet. The only thing I wonder is this: What are the goat and chicken talking about?

  3. I somehow did not realize you were still in school. Good gawd, I'm out of a job. :)

    So many nice things to say about this latest batch, but for some reason, the part that rocked me were the hands on the third illustration.

  6. Hi Sam,

    I would agree the butcher piece and the cover are my favorites, but they're all fantastic. I love the bird in the first one and what you've done with the textures in each. Awesome work!

  22. if I might add my two cents, these pieces look very slick all framed and hung in the show.

    Someday I will (not) be as awesome as you, Mr. Bosma! And we will miss you.
