I have been thinking lately about the power of being part of a group and the strength we get from that. I love being a part of so many groups! My family, my church, being an artist, a CCAD alum and former professor and now a BYU-I alum and professor, an Argentina soccer fan, a Lord of the Rings fan, a cartoon watcher... I feel strength and connection from all of these groups. I love all of you! Feeling a sense of belonging is so important in life. Please, seek out a connection to your groups! Feel at one with some other people. It’s quite a stress reliever. 😁 #mikelaughead #churchofjesuschristart #byuiart #ccadillustration #groupsupport #loveforall (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCuMiWSDfy5/?igshid=ru5d7zopgm4q

✨ It’s a new dawn, It’s a new day ✨  

This was a class assignment which involved creating a scene with 50 objects. Challenging but really fun!

Finished the line art and added the base colors. LOVE how this turned out!! You can really see the improvement from this one and the original, which I included. Now it’s time to add some shading👍 #art #lineart #basecolor #student #ccad #ccadillustration #illustration #redraw #demongirl https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nXnRnlQhi/?igshid=1ky26e6m744w2

It’s a bit nippy out there today. Stay safe everyone!

My roommates and I have been stealing our neighbor’s cat because they leave him outside all the time, so we have taken him in as our own.

Here’s the story of how his poop converted us dog lovers to Cubby lovers.

Doing the Art Thing, Again...

Last night's opening of Gabinetto Segreto at the FANTABULOUS Vanderelli Room in Columbus, OH., was AWESOME! It was so great to participate in such a beautifully body positive environment. The art was top notch and wonderfully cheeky! The performances, the music! AHH! SO GOOD.

If you are near or in or adjacent to CBUS -- Go see it!

If you missed the opening, you can always check the website and swing by or come to the closing reception on August 31st, 7-10.

This show was a bit braver than I’ve been since transitioning. I’ve made a commitment to be visible and to fully embrace authenticity as a life path... The paintings were typical of what I usually show, but the sculptural piece, “Trigger Warning,” was very much outside my comfort zone. That USUALLy means it’s important, and that I need to do the thing. That said, I’m glad I was able to work through my personal discomfort to make the statement.

In essence, "Trigger Warning" is a comment on how people obsess over trans people's genitals, and how we are fetishized, targeted, and otherwise singled out, and "othered."

The “Guy Parts” were cast of me within a week of surgery, so showing them was also a type of eulogy for the boy. To that point, I now feel some good closure with my old life/body as I step ever forward into my truth.

Let's be real, I'm not super great about posting consistently. Life and school constantly clash, and im working through a lot. I'm not the most professional or relatable person, and I give myself way too much crap for it. But every once in a while, stars align and I make something I'm truly proud of. Alvin is coming soon, and it's going to be fantastic. #alvinshort #unrealengine #maya #substancepainter #3dmodeling #animation #ccadanimation #ccadillustration #myccad #columbus #614artists #cbus #cbusmakesart #artmakescbus (at Columbus College of Art & Design - CCAD) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNgz6hlzYO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=46eotz19m7l8

Our two day drawing for my Illustrative Figure Drawing class. I decided to try coloring and (TRIED) shading with the coloring but I really liked how it ended up! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #illustrative #illustrativefiguredrawing #artist #artblog #myart #artschool #art #illustration #color #colored #columbuscollegeofartanddesign #ccad #myccad #ccadillustration #fantasy #splimeyart (at Columbus College of Art & Design - CCAD) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKugAQlerD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ljvut7a4vvb4

This is finally the last piece. Throughout my series of hands, each one has a meaning in a way. But I'm gonna talk about this one. My oldest sister passed away four years ago and I didn't really have the time to grieve or come to my understanding that she is really gone. I still can't believe it till this day. So this piece here means that I have accepted her passing and I'm fully aware that she is gone. But she is also alive. I think of her every single day. And I like to think of her as my guardian angel. My memories of her are what keeps her alive. Even though drawing these hands had a different meaning to me. I hope each of these hands had a meaning to you. I hope to do another series again. . . . . . #hands #art #pain #digital #drawing #ccadillustration #anxiety #illustrate #finals #drawings #finalsweek #mariacarluccioclass #artwork #depression #ccad #artist #photoshop #myart #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #ccadart #painting #illustart #illustrations #illustratorsoninstagram #ilustragram #artstudent #college #daisies #digitalpainting (at Columbus College of Art & Design - CCAD) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJCZo4nNbV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p6oqo6bqe7de

i decided to do a self portrait for pride month!! (this also doubles as a follow up to how my top surgery actually turned out, haha)

i’ve come a long way since last pride! even though i still have a long way to go, my confidence has improved in ways i could only have dreamed of before.

happy pride, everyone!

I want to say a big thank you to the Columbus College of Art & Design. I came here in 2011 as a graduate student and I’m sad to say my time teaching here is at an end! I’ve accepted a teaching position at BYU-Idaho, where got my BFA and where I met my wonderful wife, Candace. I am going to miss CCAD and Columbus so much. You have been so wonderful to me and my family. I can’t imagine being part of a better group of people. And with things so difficult in the world right now, I’m confident that the faculty and staff I have known for 9 years will continue to create an accepting and kind environment for our students. I am so sad to leave! I wish I could have a huge get together to see everyone, just know that you are all in my heart!

Wizard of Oz redesign project for my Character and Environment Design class.  This was my final, so it was pretty big and challenging *o*  I wish I had more time to add more characters, but I think I’m gonna try to come back to it sometime in the future!

I've been farmed! I swear! Jk. I missed out on a good joke for yesterdays pattern. Once Is Chance, Twice is Coincidence, Third Time Is A Pattern. So 4 is a habit?
