Response to Krishna's last post

That last post by Krishna really reminded me of this book I completed almost exactly a year ago. The book is called Coyote and the Monster and it's based on Native American legends.

slightly morbid

I think I did this quick digital piece in Computer Illustration during winter quarter as a practice run for the collage assignment.

Sketches for Harper's Magazine

A trio of sketches for Herman Melville's The Town-Ho's Story - a short story about Moby Dick published in Harper's Magazine a long time ago.
Harper's is opening a section of their website with classic stories including this one and the graduating grad students were asked to submit sketches for illustrations for the website.

3D illustration

While I was checking out the Bad Crit blog today I came across an interview with Danielle Buerli.  There were a few pictures up of her work and I realized she does 3D work!  I was really excited and went to her website.  She has some pretty neat things that she knit-sculpted.  Her backgrounds seem to be watercolors drawings that were cut into shapes. 

Sketchbook

I made this sketchbook today instead of doing school work and I LOVED every minute of making something not related to school.

It's an accordion fold book with a wrap around cover that has a purple ribbon to keep it closed.  I used 90 lbs.  Utrecht brand printmaking paper, elmers glue, a green button, and binders thread.
3 x 5.5 inches.
