I'm working on a sculpture of this little fetus-alien thingy for the upcoming U600's show "Terra Obscura":
Suckle... way creepier when the leg is raised. Also when it's cross-species:
That's all for now, folks!

New Sketchbook
I was inspired to start a new sketchbook like I used to keep in the good ol' days. For the past six years I've been drawing on loose bond paper and carrying around a "sketch-folder" but it'll be nice to have a real bound book again!

You better... ketchup.
Catching up on things:
Here is a commissioned portrait of Stephen Hawking with an albino owl. What a guy! This was one of my first acetate experiments... I fell in love.
*SOLD*
"Vulnerability and Prudence" Another acetate experiment, for the "Counterparts" show at the Hibbleton Gallery.
*SOLD*
Lastly, a portrait I painted months ago. A gift for a very special man who helped me through a rough period.
*SOLD*
My very good friend and insanely talented artist, sculptor, and designer Danielle Buerli is doing her graduate work (in Switzerland) on sketchbooks and I was inspired by our discussion to start a new 11"x14" like I used to keep in the old days. I used to keep INTENSE sketchbooks but stopped after my first year in college because I was putting every waking hour into homework and no longer had much time to just sketch without a practical application. I have a "sketch folder" which was functioning as a highly-edited sketchbook... but... I'm excited to have a real bound book again.
I'll put up the first couple pages tomorrow!

Promotion!
For years I have been working as a freelance illustrator in downtown Los Angeles, but I have grown tired of the lonely life of freelance hermit-dom and yearn to work as part of a team again. I am in the midst of a job search, seeking to parlay my illustration/gallery skills into the fields of animation/character, creature, and landscape design/illustration for motion graphics/story-boarding/all purpose sketch-artist!
On that note, if any of you lovely readers know of any job openings in or around Los Angeles (or further afield if I can work from home) please let me know! (jawcooper@gmail.com) If you help me get a job-job I'll totally send you free art and kudos.
I have updated my portfolio and posted it on my website: HERE. Check it out! Any feedback is welcome.
Three new 4"x9" promo cards:
Reprinted these two business cards:
I will be putting together promo-packs at the end of the week, if you are a company interested in my work and would like to receive one please email me at (jawcooper@gmail.com) and I'll be happy to send one your way! (I also have a PDF of my portfolio/CV available upon request.)

PRINTS AVAILABLE!
I rarely make a run of giclee prints but that's just what I did for the Bluecanvas event last month. Many of the prints sold at the opening but here are the available prints as of today. There is ONLY ONE OF EACH PRINT, no duplicates, so if you see one you like contact me at jawcooper@gmail.com to reserve it.
*Update: "Pied Piper" "Cracked/Tangled" "Copycat" "Malodorous" "Fight/Flight" "Ruin" "Father's Eyes" "Ignorance Is Bliss" "Specters" "Night Owls" "New Years Baby" and "Minions" have now sold.
So many sold yesterday that I re-posted these images with "SOLD" over the taken prints so you can easily see which are still available. If you want one, move quickly!
Prices are as marked but do not include shipping and packaging which comes to around 5-10$ within the US. It costs as much to ship one as it does to ship a couple... so... buy a couple and save on shipping! Ehhh?
Get em' while they're hot!
30$ prints: all different sizes but around 6"x10"
40$ prints: all different sizes but around 10"x12" ("malodorous" print: 8"x19")
50$ prints: all different sizes but around 12"x16"
All giclee prints come hand-wrapped in fitted, clear, protective sleeves with museumboard backing. Archival and acid free.
I've also updated my website with my revised portfolio. (jawcooper.com) I'm aiming to parlay my skills into a job in concept art for animation, illustration for motion graphics and advertising, or as a storyboard artist/all-purpose sketch-artist. More on that tomorrow!
