after a brief hiatus....

I've done a couple pieces in that past 2-3 weeks that I've been meaning to scan, but all I have at home is a shitty scanner/fax/copy machine thing. This is 1 of 4 pieces that I've worked on recently, and once I'm back at Ringling tomorrow I'll be able to scan the rest.
Lately I've been doing mixed media works on paper, and I rather enjoy the process. I might actually make a few prints of the latest work, if you're interested, holla.

I was bored and decided to do some ink and digital color tonight. Then I realized it looked too much like some of Erick Jones' and Tomer's work, plus the top face still looks like me. Guh. But hey, its summer already and I'm enjoying the 10 hours of sleep a day. I've been working on a small landscape, a classy portrait of my mum, and working on some shirt designs for a new brand my friend is launching this summer. I'll post them up once they're all done, but for now here's my ink piece and a mock up girls shirt I made for the new brand. Simple stuff, nothing too crazy. Oh, and I can't forget that random kid I sketched off of some article I saw online..... he was just cool looking.
{I miss you guys over in Sarasota.... see you soon}

end of the year :[

I'm kind of bummed that the year's over. Friends are leaving and starting anew chapter in their lives, and I start my last year of college in a couple months D: ack! But regardless, the summer is gonna be full of new work hopefully, and I've already started.

















On another note, I cleaned out my house and laid out all my work from this year.... and it was wayyy more than I expected, in part because it was all huddled together and didn't seem like too much. Craazyyyy.

hey girl hey!

Ladies and gents, Illest prep is coming early this year. We wanted people to be involved and be able to submit work for us and not have it interfere with school once it starts. Plus this way everyone can spend however much time they want on on whatever it is they want to hand in. The official website will be launched sometime this summer!

The facebook group has been set up already. If you'd like to give feedback, keep up with discussion topics and read updates visit it at Illest of Illustration 09

word.

I was up all night again.
I decided I'm just gonna do sweet little ink portraits :] It's Coolio, Slug, [the MC for Atmposhere] and Lupe Fiasco. I picked Coolio because he was just fun to draw, then Slug and Lupe because I dig their tunes, a lot. I ended up using them for an open assignment for my illustration class, so I turned my drawing of Slug into a magazine spread.

oh hayyyy

We had another open assignment in Illustration which rulz. I based this one off a doodle for a character sketch and just re-designed her to make the composition a little less crazy. Over all I'm pretty happy with it, its more stylized that what I usually do and honestly, I might do more of it.

sleep patterns

My sleep patterns are all jacked up because I do two things: I procrastinate and stay up all night doing things that aren't really for class. While doing work outside of class keeps me sane, it's also been keeping me up until ridiculous hours when I don't really have to. Whatever, it rulzzzzz.

Pastels

I haven't done pastels in a while so I decided I was going to do some decent sized figures studies. This is the first of a series of 4 drawings of Erin.

Book cover and sample

I made a book cover for "The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" and before it a little sample of how I wanted to execute it.
