Seagulls

Last year me and my friend Leon Doucette recorded a few songs as Mitch Thunder and the War Machine. I thought I had posted them all on youtube but I forgot about this one, our epic...Seagulls. I've also been working on some more music which may get posted in the near future. I wish I knew someone who could rap over my new tracks. Any ideas?

Three Collages

'Dimensional Shark'

'That Man?'

'Moon Car'

Here's the other three collages I made for Art Attack. For these I was experimenting with using spray paint for the ground and then collaging on top of that. Because it was so cold out when I painted them I carried them back into my dorm inside newspaper which rubbed off some of the paint and gave some funky texture to them. Next time I might be a bit more purposeful with this idea.

Jon Stewart and Bill O'reilly

This is my new double portrait from Senior Studio featuring Jon Stewart and Bill O' Reilly. They just had another round of debate as they interviewed each other on their respective shows last month. I figured this would be a good time to unveil the picture as he just had Obama on his show and he's gearing up for his rally to restore sanity tomorrow. Enjoy.

Phish Poster for Manchester, NH

MY WEBSITE HAS MOVED! CLICK HERE TO VIEW NEW WORK!

Tomorrow, October 26, Phish is coming to the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH. I always loved their trippy posters so I thought I would make my own for the show. Don't ask why this fish is hanging out in a pile of leaves, just enjoy it.

I received a cease and desist order from phish not to sell the poster as originally shown because it featured their band name. This new version doesn't have the ticket stub or any mention to phish and has been deemed ok. If you would like a ticketless version please shoot me an email at aaronmitchellart@gmail.com. They are still 5 dollars.

ART ATTACK

Yesterday was Art Attack. I had a bunch of my comics and other drawings for sale as well as some new collages, two of which are pictured below. I did these new ones on illustration board and laid down a spray paint ground before I started collaging on top. I also did blind contour portraits, one of which is posted here. I charged a dollar piece and they were quite a hit. Probably more so because I looked like a creeper staring the person in the eyes as I blindly drew them. Overall it was awesome and next time it happens make sure to be there.

'All Seeing'

'Moon'

'Gabby & Abby'

Piper / Walk to School

'Piper'

'Walk to School'

Occasionally when I do collage I have a really good idea for mixing two elements together, in these two cases, mixing black and white photos with a simple texture or color. I then sit and sort through all my stuff and am totally lost for what else I should add. I eventually give up and let the piece sit until I pick it up down the road and flip through my photos again still finding nothing. I've been sitting on these two collages for awhile and I think its time to just call them finished. Sometimes all you need is a simple collage.

Comic Book Character Designs

'Ricky'

'Stinkfoot'

'AJ, Marcus, Brad & Topher'

Before we jumped into making our comic book we did character designs of all the main players. We're starting work on the actual pages soon so expect to start seeing some of the actual story. I still need to come up with an ending, probably something involving a high speed chase, huge explosions, hostages and a police standoff. Yeah that could work.
