Slave Robot Sculpture

This is the sculpture I'm working on now. It's a robot that's been enslaved and turned into an ashtray. I've still got to either sandblast or grind down the coating on the metal and then rust it and put the rags back on it.

Ceramics

Here are some of the ceramics I've done this semester:

These are some pinch pots that I made:

This is a coffee mug with a very distinguished face on the front of it:

This is a sea monkey castle, although it's way too big to actually be a sea monkey castle...

And lastly....well...I don't know what this is supposed to be...

Last semester's sculptures

Here are the sculptures I did last semester in sculpture one. I probably should have posted these last semester, but oh well. better late th
an never.

This is the my first sculpture. I think it came out o.k. for a first try. It's made of steel... and well... there's not much more to it. It's untitled:

This is the second sculpture I did. It's made of wood, foam, spackle, a sheet, and plastic resin. The idea was to make an amorphous shape appear to be floating. Unfortunately it ended up looking more like a peanut with a cape on. It's called "Floating Matter":

This is the last sculpture I did in sculpture one last semester. This time I used scrap steel, chains, and concrete to fashion a floating mass of metal. This one was really big, and really heavy. I had to use the crane and a forklift to more it. I really like this sculpture. It actually sways in the wind and give the viewer a very uneasy feeling. It really doesn't look like those chains can possibly be holding it up, but they are. This one is called "Floating Matter 2":

That's all the sculptures I did last semester. I've got a wall piece and a free standing slave robot ashtray I'm working on now. I'll post pictures of those soon.

Long Time, No Posts

Well This is the first post I've made in a long time. I'd pretty much forgotten about this blog since I got my website up and running. I've got a few new things I'm going to post, a couple sculptures, some prints, and some more digital art, but I've got to get everything organized before I post it.

also my website is www.duhsteeparker.com. check it out.

Pictures soon to follow.

Icons

This is an icon set I did for my Illustrator class. I chose to do old school monsters for my icons. I really like the facial expressions of these icons. They definitely don't instill a sense of fear in anyone but I like to think they make people smile a little. My favorite is definitely the mummy icon. I wrestled with whether or not to have his whole face exposed and in the end I'm glad I went with that option. It really connects his expression and face with the rest of the icons. Also it looks like he has masking tape around his head and that's just hilarious. 

Thrash Comic Ad

This is an advertisement I did in Illustrator for my Presentation class. I decided to create an advertisement for my comic I've been toying with. I wanted a real sin city vibe to it, since the comic, in my mind at least, would be a sort of drug filled noir adventure. I really liked this ad, unfortunately my teacher did not understand it at all.
