Figures

So, sketchbook is full so before I hide it away to my closet I figured I'd scan some junk. Here are very few select figure drawings from it.
Done in micron pen or pencil. Pretty easy to tell which is which.

Elle

This is a quick snapshot of my six month old Welsh Terrier, Elle. Just something I was able to get when the light hit her just right. I hope to paint it soon...I just love the little ball of energy she is.

It's been a while...

Woah, summer is FLYING by. I can't believe it's already almost July!

I haven't updated in a while, which is a little pathetic on my part...but here it is...

So, I've started my new internship with LifeTime Media in New York City. I am their design department haha. Just me. And I am no true graphic designer. However, it's been fun and for the most part, my boss likes my stuff.

Also, working here gives me great opportunity to shamelessly exploit small illustrations and photographs. My biggest project at the moment, is a cook book. Called "Chosen Food" here's one of a few photos being included. It's a very rough copy, and I need to touch it up in photoshop some but there's just so much to do here and no time! And my hands are tied at home with a six month old Welsh Terrier (who, I have been having a blast photographing...I'll put those up soon).

The cake, by the way, was delicious. : )

Magazine Layout

This is my magazine layout for graphic design. I redid an article in the Smithsonian. I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out. Critiques are always welcomed.

12x12

For painting class, we had to do 12 12x12 paintings. My original idea was an illustrated story of my old dog's life. However, being that I did not have good reference, I switched it to houses around Sarasota, 6 big expensive, 6 small and not so expensive. I think these were great practice for me. I definitely needed to sit and paint. I was able to do one a day for, well, 12 days. For the most part, I like how they came out. I appologize for the not so great quality, but it's all I have for now.
Happy art-ing.

More Image Clicking

Some really simple photographs taken ages ago, I'm considering throwing them into CS3 and tweaking them up a bit. They seem a little lackluster to me. I believe now, from this point, I will be painting for the rest of the summer. Although, I plan to make a day trip somewhere to flex my photography skills soon. Enjoy.

Swing away!

So I'm going through a phase where I feel the need to clean out everything. My portable hard drive, with all of my photos on it from forever ago, is no exception. I decided I like this series, a few photos of a skateboard swing that hangs from a tree on campus. Enjoy
