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.

landscape painting from last saturday :]

day and night paintings

We had to the same image twice, one set in the day, the other at night. It was re-assigned and so here are my two sets :] I worked with black and white photos that were pretty sweet that I found in Russel Lee's photography book. Unfortunately the scanner picked up all the texture from the board on the paintings with the woman /:

in honor of kidrobot

There's an gallery show on March 20th dedicated to the fun designs of KidRobot. We can submit anything from animated videos to apparel. I'm doing a series of three of just cute little scenes with my version of the bunny's they sell :]
This is the first of the batch!

SCI-FI

The 3rd year illustrators had to do a Sci-Fi related piece for a juried show that's supposed to go up in a planetarium... or at least that's what I think it's for? I space out in class a lot /:
This was procrastination to the MAX.
FYI-Mars attacks was one of the many alien movies that gave me nightmares as a kid. Those jerks freaked me out with their big ugly brains and little laser guns of death. I did my piece on them despite my grudge against these fictional menaces. There are still some touch-ups to make, but it was my second time starting this, and I got it done in a matter of 8 hours?

open assignment

Pratt gave us another 3-hour in-class illustration today, that just so happened to be an open assignment. I got some sweet old guys and an old school boom box. I'm going bright and candy colored since I seem to always have moody work.
