We did classics this week in my book cover class. I chose 1984 which I adore. I’ve been exploring a more graphic style which has slowly been creeping into my painting-centric work. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

This is how i feel about graduation. I’m convinced the world outside school is one terrifying demonic floral crucifixion ritual….. It’s been a long week people….
Purgatory Sketchbook update 2
My name is Kellan Jett, and i made these.
The Silencing of Saint Livinus
This is Saint Livinus of Ghent. He was a Bishop of the early Catholic church somewhere in the 600s i think. He died trying to convert a bunch of pagans who (understandably) weren’t to stoked about having to denounce the old gods. So naturally, Saint Livinus lost his tongue and then his head. In my version i like to think his severed tongueless head continued to preach and is still mouthing the words even in death.
What excites me about saints is that they are points where religion meets folklore and Christianity meets paganism. Saints tend to be a strange blend of all of it. I love that Catholicism, one of the biggest monotheistic religions in the world is full of totally deified mortals. How great of a contradiction is that.
Big sketchbook update 4: Old work. All from my independent study last semester. I spent 3 months doing nothing but filling a giant sketchbook with invented slums and figuring out architecture. These were all a part of my world building project and are related to this this earlier piece: (http://jettpack.tumblr.com/post/17982907106/a-piece-i-did-a-little-over-a-year-ago-never-had) More to come.

Drawn while watching Grizzly man and There will be Blood. Both those movies are fucking awesome.
The creative process goes as fallows: Watch Robocop—> Draw nothing but dumb robots
