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.

Reference for a poster I'm working on.

The posters are due today for the Savannah Children's Book Festival poster contest. This is the reference I put together for one of my submissions.

A monster's kinda time

I finished the scratchboard piece! Monster hands are so much fun to draw. I need to darken up the rest of the monster, I keep forgetting to go back and do that.

Enjoy!

Paul Bunyan sketches and story

So I've been really busy so far this semester working on three books. These are the sketches for my Paul Bunyan story. There are two for each break in the writing so my art director (teacher) could chose one composition for me to go with.

Dude....scratchboard.

Couple of scratchboard comps for techniques II
