There was an attempt to create the mood that one can be content with change through a form of suffering. Everything merges together as a single energy source and resistance to this process is not only normal, but part of the process in itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1588245490241-4R42K550F9R8ZMICWM7K/Rick.Final.02.TOWERS.png portfolio - Towers If an inter dimensional being can trigger a catastrophe which transcends time and space, it can surely take any physical form necessary to do so. If there ever be the need to efficently wipe out a global civilization, water is your best ally. If you feel like flipping your screen upside down, this piece can be viewed from either end and still make sense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1588245620670-RJQ2U88EO8BXS1XGPPN3/Rick.Final.03.WAVE.smaller.png portfolio - Waves Enter another piece for second semester’s thesis. This one came together once the decision was made to let the work speak for itself instead of trying to force this message about an inter dimensional creature taking over everything. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/5a75926371c10bcbfb3ad034/60eda63c54e5b71ae84f22a3/1626187895331/ portfolio - The Ridiculous Demo Reel Who doesn't love graduating in the midst of a pandemic? Please enjoy this rough collection of animated pieces during the latter half of my post-secondary career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1549325090602-HU5RRI0M5PGEKX0JTL1D/Octopus.Environment.frames.gif portfolio - A Potential Nightmare Part 2 This was the second of two pieces for a snapchat filter assignment in concepts class. The original plan was to have an octopus slipping down the wall in an underwater bedroom, but alas, it appears to be an octopus disco. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1588245436633-PNTMWT69I5KC39JBH9PG/Rick.Final.01.TREES.png portfolio - Trees Enter second semester’s thesis. The initial concept here was based on the concept of the tenth dimension, in which all possible universes, subsequent timelines, and all forms of consciousness itself are converged into a single point that transcends time and space. Enter Chrysanthemum, an inter dimensional being that triggers a cataclysmic event which initiates this convergence of all possible worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627227517965-KYUNV42PY33JSOHX67IZ/image-asset.jpeg portfolio - On a Sunday ♫ My animated music creation, “On a Sunday.” Hopefully this brings you a sense of peace amidst all the chaos lately. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1517654676989-K2QSD5BSONS6U00FXV3H/bedroom.step04.final.color.bownies.png portfolio - Bedroom scene This is a personal piece which become a study of light and shadow. https://www.ehnero.space/blog daily 0.75 2018-12-06 https://www.ehnero.space/blog/2018/12/5/interview-with-illustrator-jack-dettmer monthly 0.5 2018-12-06 https://www.ehnero.space/blog/2018/8/31/my-last-day-at-work monthly 0.5 2018-09-01 https://www.ehnero.space/ehnero-space-comics daily 0.75 2021-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627214136589-54GH06OFOJW9NEBL21TY/image-asset.jpeg Comics - Pneuma The brief for this assignment was to create a comic based off some song lyrics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627214136589-54GH06OFOJW9NEBL21TY/image-asset.jpeg Comics - Pneuma The brief for this assignment was to create a comic based off some song lyrics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627214683982-QGG6HYGAQXWK255D07Z3/Rick.Comic.01.jpg Comics - Maze Rats - Page 1 This was taken from my thesis comic on an experiment involving rats in a maze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627216006827-92AKFI7PSKQOXRZNW79C/Rick.Comic.02.jpg Comics - Maze Rats - Page 2 These idea behind this series is that how we perceive the behaviour of other individuals can have a great effect on how we interpret that behaviour. Furthermore, our interpretations can have a subliminal impact on the individuals in question as well, for better or for worse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627216986485-ILEPR85O97ZXFZQL58BD/Rick.03.jpg Comics - Maze Rats - Page 3 The true significance of this study comes from the relevance it can have in the classroom today. Our subliminal influence on rats in a maze could seemingly have similar impacts on how we perceive the behaviour of students in the classroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627218144778-LLQFCSZGRWIQ1HZTJT7M/Hendrix.Comic.jpg Comics - Kiss the Sky This here is a wordless biographical piece on the life of Jimi Hendrix. My aim here was to create parallels between his upbringing and his natural escape into music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627218737273-OZ6VYPI06SORIWQIV2NG/Blair.Long.Comic.jpg Comics - A Personal History of Medicine This piece is based off an experience with derealization, which is basically the sensation that your life and the world it operates in isn’t real. Reality becomes more akin to watching yourself on a screen rather than feeling like you yourself are part of it. A good way to process strange experiences than to make strange comics out of them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627219683008-DKGI75KI6UMB4ZXSZONE/Blair.Metta.Comic.jpg Comics https://www.ehnero.space/ehnero-space-illustration daily 1.0 2024-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627220223562-AQT1K4TCYEUNDW8FV4CH/image-asset.png Illustration - Two-Axe Mary Two-Axe Earley lost her Indian status when she married a white man and spent two decades fighting for the right of her people to keep their status regardless of whom they chose to marry.

Foregrounds and backgrounds blend together as a singular mass. Homes are ripped from their foundation. Enter this piece from my second thesis. This piece depicts a sense of peace to be found within surrendering to the surrounding chaos. A stillness within can mitigate even the roughest of environments. At least that was my theory. The idea is that one can observe their interconnection with their sense of self and their surroundings, recognizing that both are one in the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627222989849-0GPAWFRRCEXEUBTUGANB/Rick.Thesis.02.Towers.jpg Illustration - Towers I’d say this piece matches that request for eyeballs in my work a bit more. This vertically interactive catastrophe is also taken from my second semester thesis project. As the inter dimensional apocalypse makes it way inland, all sense of up and down lifts away and vast skyscrapers are reduced to islands. Gardens grow from the sky and demonstrate that not even the greatest achievements of humanity can save their species from the grip of nature, for it invades when and wherever it pleases. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627223795097-0NVOO6KYC2GZOKIAHME4/Rick.Thesis.03.Waves.jpg Illustration - Waves “Those who whine and misbehave meet their end with a giant wave. They run so fast but cannot flee the monstrous perils of the magenta sea.” More thesis work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1627227615196-GUHZ8VD1RTVJFXBI93T2/image-asset.jpeg Illustration - On a Sunday ♫ Hopefully this animated musical creation can bring a sense of peace amidst all the chaos lately. https://www.ehnero.space/contact daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://www.ehnero.space/about daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a7586630abd0477ecae7d0f/1613680228092-V4EY6H7E44JQRR24JHCN/borden_blair_postcard.front.edit.png about https://www.ehnero.space/store daily 0.75 2023-04-23
