Jason, Where Have You Been?

by JayZuck on August 28th, 2009
Posted In: Blog

Well, some of you might be wondering why Jay Zuck’s Sketch of the Day has been on hiatus lately.  I thought I owed some sort of explanation to those who have been following this humble website chronicling the exploration of my art.

There’s the long answer and short one and I guess I’ll start with the short.   Immediately after a hectic week of finals at school and just a day removed from that artistic mayhem,  I had knee surgery which has kinda put me out of commission.  With everything that’s been going on, I’ve been trying to recover and just taking the time to recharge those artistic batteries. I hope I haven’t disappointed too many people with this break or maybe I do.  It’s nice to be missed ; )

I think it will probably start off slow until we get that snow ball rollin’ around here, but do me an honor and yourself a favor by SUBSCRIBING so you have the coveted inside scoop on when I’m laying stuff down.

If you have missed me though, then you’re in luck….

Happy Fourth of July

by JayZuck on July 4th, 2009
Posted In: Blog

Independence Day has arrived and it seemed like a good occasion to dust off an old sketch, “Dead Presidents, Dead Patriots.” I really don’t have any idea what the composition of my audience is in terms of nationality, but the principles of independence resonate with everybody.

I looked up some fireworks videos to commemorate one more Fourth of July.  I first came across a really cool Animal Collective music video with a cool fireworks light show and nice musical vibe.

Now on to something more fun and whimsical, we have a stop motion animation of some emulated fireworks.

And now for the grand finale…

About Me

I am illustrator in the entertainment arts focused on visual development, character design, layouts, concept art, and anything in the realm of visual storytelling. Around these parts though, I'm letting it loose Simian Style and devolving into a higher state of consciousness on the boundary of an infinite-dimensional manifold in quasi-time. There's plenty of room down this rabbit hole! Learn more About Me and check out the Portfolio.
