During setup I brushed out some script banners. this is me making a "wall flowers" banner for extra seats. The plane was awarded to a lucky dancer. The whole night was a blast, I really love CVA student council.

Macalester College asked me to create the identity for their 2009 Springfest concert. The bands are coming in from as far as new york! Come check 'em out if you're in town!

2009-02-22T21:45:00.001-08:00

I'm teaming up with comic book rockstar Tim Sievert!!!!!!! He's an awesome comic book illustrator that I've admired since high school. We're making a minicomic about two space engineers that struggle to carry the cure for a gruesome illness called "Earth Plauge" back home.

Next Project:

Stacy and I have been assigned to reprogram an html web form, no problem right...... right??

Anyway, I went to the airport and grabbed a bunch of tickets and things of that nature to use in my form design before I was chased away by the airport security.

It should actually be on the internet soon, I'll try to post the link when that time comes.

And Adam Turman is coming to lecture at CVA! He's the awesome illustrator that's done several Vita.mn and Citypages magazine covers. He's really talented and I'm pretty excited to see him, I'm a fan of his and it'll be really neat to meet him. Also I created more student posters for the great CVA Snow tubing trip this February 20th. Here's the two step process (Sorry about the fuzzy picture.)

Whew, that's a lot. Things are going really great this month, and for me in general. Maybe it's because of spring semester or something but I feel really awesome about where I'm headed.

I had a table at comic con!!!

2008-10-11T13:20:00.000-07:00

AVEDA

2008-04-19T21:03:00.000-07:00

My college CVA is teaming up with AVEDA (http://www.aveda.com/) for the 80's dance and the director of student life Paul Gaines asked me to make the posters. This is what I came up with

2008-04-03T22:49:00.001-07:00

CVA asked me to make the posters for the first ever Spring Ball, the theme is 80's.

They're already up all over campus and the students are really pumped! The upperclassmen, teachers and my friends love them. Last October I did a pumpkin carving contest poster that never went up due to the budget and timing, I was really bummed out but this time everything worked out.

Lutefisk Sushi!

Foam core!!

2008-01-27T22:22:00.000-08:00

What do you get when you mix a pirana, Gumby, and the classroom nerd?

Kirk and I got this 50 cent foam from Walmart and carved awesome monsters, Kirk carved an ogre. Later we my paint them but the green looks pretty cool.
After getting carried away I spent most of Sunday on it.

Someday we may paint it but for now his home is above the desk with the other figures... The End?

2008-01-03T17:06:00.000-08:00

I also made my friend Mandy a mix-tape for helping me finish my Grandpa's minicomic in a sea of paper known as kinko's. This is the cover.

2008-01-03T17:02:00.000-08:00

Minicomic

Drawing roughs

2007-12-12T22:34:00.000-08:00

Like the positive/negative space drawing charcoal is very difficult. We are drawing the cathedral in downtown St Paul and this is a giant statue of St John that I illustrated. There's much more to the image, this is just a detail and I have more work to do.

2007-12-04T22:07:00.000-08:00

Our next Orientation to Art and Design project was to create a zine about an art movement. Aaron smith was my parter and I illustrated our cover. Neo-Expressionism was the movement assigned to us. Neo-expressionists were frustrated with gallery curators gaining the profits for artists and illustrators hard work.

Catch up

2007-11-20T12:49:00.000-08:00

We had to choose an artist for orientation to art and design and create a book about them. I chose Charles Ray and this is the cover. The inside had pictures from my drivers manual that I colorized

Weekend fun

2007-11-17T16:33:00.000-08:00

Some friends at CVA and I are huge David Bowie fans. We heard that David Bowie is going to be a voice actor in the spongebob squarepants movie "Atlantis Squarepantis". It's going to air tonight at 9pm. Our friend Allison's birthday was today at noon. I woke up early today and cranked this card out in an hour. All of us are going to watch the movie later tonight.

2007-11-15T10:16:00.001-08:00

Using charcoal is real tough for me. This is the only project I've been real happy with this semester. Thats me (I'm only in front of it because I had to hold it up)

About me

2007-11-14T16:08:00.000-08:00

My name is Sam Anderson. I'm a freshman at the Collage Of Visual arts in St Paul with two roomates, Brandon Regner and Kirk McConkey. Comics are the best, I've made two of them and I'm working on a third. I create tons of drawings too. I created this blog to post my illustrations and comics.
