I was in the mood for ink and watercolor tonight so I did some quick stuff for funsies.

And some quick pen studies I did from the top of a parking garage downtown

my latest illustration, the theme of the assignment was "discussion" so I chose an environment I'm rather too familiar with than I'd like, but it was fun to do something digital for a change :)

The past is a grotesque animal

Fake tour poster for one of my favorite bands, Of Montreal.  Every part of making this was really fun,  I just wish I was actually going to this show!

a little bit of everything

sorry for the horrible horrible picture quality on these, I was being lazy and just shot them from my iphone :)

 

I'm almost done with this still life from class, and I'm pretty proud of it.   oils are definitely not my medium (I don't enjoy painting with them at all!) but this piece has been one of the most enjoyable so far and I quite like how it's turning out :)  This photograph is horrible, it looks much better in person I promise!

I'm doing an illustration about luwak coffee for one of my classes, (look it up if you're curious) so I did a bunch of sketches of civets for research.  These two are my favorites of the batch, one somewhat realistic and one stylized :)

pen and ink wash figure studies from my sketchbook

and a couple quick doodles of a friend of mine using photo reference, from my sketchbook

Thanks for looking! :)

please remain seated until the aircraft comes to a complete stop

For my graphic design class we had to come up with a personal logo and then implement that into a business card, envelope, and letterhead.  Here's what I came up with!

 

 

business card :)

 

ready for presentation! (click to enlarge)

 

I've also been working on a couple side projects, some of which I can't reveal just yet, but here's a sneak peak at one of them. 

 

hmmm I wonder what this could be :)

Oops, I almost forgot I had one of these.  I don't have much to show but here's some stuff from figure class and my sketchbook :)

 

 
 

 

  

 

I have just met you and I love you

I've been sketching a lot recently in an attempt to finish off my entire sketchbook before the semester ends on friday (almost there!).  Here's a couple of my favorite pages :)

guess who was watching Up this week :)

I have been especially inspired by all the vintage travel posters Pixar has released as promotional material.  I have a few printed out and hanging up in my room and would love to try out something similar to this style when I get a chance.

 

 

saluki dogs and some horses from reference.  I love the saluki's slender frame and long ears; I think they are the medieval princesses of the dog world.

Some concept stuff for an illustration I ended up not using, although I'd like to revisit the idea when I have the time. Recently I've really gotten excited about illustrating childrens' books as a possible career option, so I've been researching a lot of fables and folktales.  This one was the Musicians of Bremen, a story about a donkey, dog, cat, and rooster who stand on each other's backs and use their voices to make music together.
