Forgotten Work

One Weekend

Fantasy Landscape

For this assignment everybody in class made up their own perfect job and then we switched with one of our classmates and where the art director for them. My assignment was to create a fantasy/science fiction world and do some production art based on it for a movie.

Lewis Carroll piece

For a magazine article about Lewis Carroll and his weird relationship with the girl who inspired the Alice character. I put a varnish over the whole thing which made it very shiny and hard to scan. It needs a couple of touch ups in the background so it doesn't look so dark.

Magazine Cover

Fake New Yorker cover for Halloween. I had fun painting the little girls and their costumes.

New Work

Interpreting the phrase "Pet Noir". We could only work on the piece for 2 hours. I thought it turned out okay.

Desk

Just some stuff

If I were an animal I think I'd be a pygmy slow loris.


This video's over all feel is exactly how I want my summer vacation to be like/ how excited I am for school to be over.

My Desk

This weekend I was sort of sick. But I still worked on my color spread for my children's book illustration (which you can see here, before I changed some of the colors). This is my desk, filled with everything you could possibly want as a sick person; tea, tissues, ginger ale, honey for my tea, and cough drops.

Some Stuff

A color chart, my palette, and a sketch for my children's book. Just some little stuff until I can post some real paintings.

Start to (Semi-) Finished Painting

I thought it might be kind of interesting to document one painting (not the best painting I've ever done but certainly not the worst either) from the start to an almost finished piece.
So here's the "finished" painting, almost 7 hours later. I don't really like how some parts came out, especially the face and arms, so I'm thinking I'll wait for the paint to dry (since it's oils) and then make some changes.
Here it is with all the colors blocked in. This is probably about 5 to 6 hours into the painting.
Starting to just block in some of the basic shapes with color after about 2 and a half hours.
Adding a wash of color over the sketch.
The very start of the painting. I did a basic drawing in pencil so I know about where everything will be, size, shape, etc. Took me about an hour.

Stuff from Finals

My final portrait for my Drawing II class. I always make my nose to long for some reason.

My sub-cultures illustration final. I picked quilters. Now that I have a new camera (Yay!) I should be able to take photos of my art again.

T-Shirt Design Fun

T-Shirt Designs. I used ink and colored pencils.
