Phone Cases

GET EM HERE: http://society6.com/PaulUlrich/cases

I've been playing around with some of the advanced features of Society 6, and I'm happy to say that they've paid-off in the form of phone cases for the iPhone!  It feels weird messing around with so much merch lately.  Normally, I'd think of a drawing, I'd make a drawing, and then I'd stash the drawing in my portfolio, to be closely guarded and never shown.

Well, fuck that.

Where's the fun in keeping my preciousssss if I can't shove it under the nose of the world? It's time to work on really interacting with the world and branching out of my own personal drawing space.  Did you know that the Earth has  510,072,000 km 2 of space?  Yeah.  That's a lot of posters.  and cases.  and shirts.  and love, hate, boredom, passion, evil, all of those good emotions.  So, long story short, all of these bits of swag I've been making have been a part of me breaking out of my old tiny skin so that I squirm out all slimy-like and grow and get biggerer and be all personable.  Or, something like that.  Peace, all.

BUGS AND SHIT

This was something I started work on a while ago, and just recently had the chance to finish.  I'm really proud of this one, and although I promised this to a close friend, I really don't wanna see this one go.  Oh, well.  Such is life.

The Eternal Chase

Here we have the line drawing and watercolor painting of this cat and mouse painting.  Originally intended to be more cyclic-looking in composition, constraints in dimensions of the paper forced me to alter it a little.  However, I think it was quite beneficial, because the pose of the cat is pretty neat.  I was inspired by the ink drawings of Horimouja and some sweet traditional tats.

Chickbone

The black-capped chickadee is arguably one of my favorite bird species.

STAY TRUE

So this, and the vulcan hand from the previous post, were painted as gifts for the christmas holidays.  They were so popular among friends and family, that I have drawn up a list of desired subject matter from various family members.  The story might have gone another way, but owing to monetary constraints, I resorted to the use of art.  Yay!  But I see this as a positive project, one that will help my hone my drawing and painting skills.  So.  Expect to see more of these pop up over the coming days.

Live Long and Prosper

Furthering my skills with watercolor and gouache.  They have proven to be extremely rewarding and fun.  Seeing my designs in living color with so much texture and natural flaw is easily worth it.  The thing that has been giving me the most challenge, however, is lettering.  My handwriting is naturally pretty sloppy, and the prospect of lettering being the bulk of my early tattoo's isn't happy, but I am an existentialist, so I think that it will contribute to the pool of my life experiences in some way or another.

From Heat shall the Smoke Rise Up

I've been missing the use of color.  Spit-wash and gouache.  Let's open the flood-gates and see what happens.

Bugs! I've been working on a sheet of flash with an insect theme. She still has to be colored.

This is a For-Fun project.  Now, I have this wonderful, vibrantly red hoodie that came into my possession after wandering through a Salvation Army store.  Unfortunately, I was not the greatest caretaker of the sweater, and made a great, ugly grease stain on the front around the hem, much to my chagrin.  I found a project on Instructables for how to make a ghetto-version screen-printing setup that really intrigued me and inspired me to create a design-- one that will be used with some strategic 50/50 bleach stenciling to cover the horrid mark.  And so, this is the drawing I came up with.  Once I've got some dollars to throw at the project, it's full steam ahead!
