10 min pose

2 hour pose... wasn't able to finish in time...

Just a quick still life I painted a couple weeks ago.. I really miss still life painting, and always get inspired by them.

Sloppy Joe's t-shirt design

This was another project from my Computer Illustration class, which was assigned the same time as the icons/spot illustrations were. We had to come up with a t-shirt design for the restaurant, "Sloppy Joe's", in Key West, FL. It had to be done in adobe illustrator. This project has the potential to be for the actual client. The order form wanted a design that would work with bright colored shirts. I'm not sure about the design as a t-shirt.. but I think it'd make a better keychain or sticker for sure. Yet again, click to enlarge the image to see the actual color!

Some drawings from my Figure class this semester. All in charcoal and pastel.

yummy icons

Here's a set of icons (more like spot illustrations) for my Computer Illustration class. We had to create 3 icons with a theme in adobe illustrator. My theme was "Valentine's Day Treats". Please click the image to see the actual color! It's washed out above.

illustration

This illustration project was "Father Time and Baby New Year". I really didn't want to illustrate some old guy and a baby wearing a sash interacting together... so I tried to be conceptual about it. I took a somewhat religious take on "Father Time"... How God created us and how we can't help but age. From this age we gain wisdom and experience that we pass onto future generations, which is what I thought of for "Baby New Year". The calla lilly blooms represent growth and rebirth.

Illustration progress

Spring Semester has begun, second week in! The workload is getting heavier and heavier every week! Here is a little snippet of my Illustration project due Tuesday...
... and fishies... I'm very heavy-handed...

Digiquickie

still experimenting with different dry media brushes. I'm liking them... sort of. Sometimes I feel I can make it work and others I can't. I wish parts of this had harder edges... I'll go back into it.
