Almost done...

Art is Growth II

Art is growth

Still has a ways to go.

Happy Thanksgiving

Now look at my naked drawing.

Miles to go...

Art is determination

Art is mileage

And many more miles to go.

Art is progress

Art is tiring

Art is hard

Art is patience

Art is perseverance

Art is thinking

Dinosaur Show

My submission for the Dinosaur Show.

Business card

This took way too long to get started on. Here's the frontside:

And the back:

Any comments are welcome!

"Ethereal" painting

My first painting done in gouache in several years now. Still working with it, but happy for how this turned out.

Another Progress Drawing

When this is done, I'll go back and post the thumbnails it took to get to this. I've got about a week to paint this plus my other illustration, so busy week ahead - I'll post that when it is done too.

Progress Drawing

I've got several projects going on right now; here is one I'm currently working on for the Dinosaur Show a few of my former classmates are putting on. I'll post some more works in progress in the coming days.

RIP Satoshi Kon

:(

Color comps

These are color comps that I did for an illustration that I'm currently working on. They were done in gouache, which I'm trying to relearn.

Watercolor Final

My watercolor finals, showing the rise and fall of a fantasy city in the sky.

Cars

A Birthday card I did for my cousin who is turning 8 and loves Cars. The logo didn't come out great, but I'm mostly satisfied with everything else.

More Watercolor Studies

More studies I've done - this time of things from Africa that my Dad brought me versus technology from today. I still remember George repeatedly rubbing the fabric in the final color painting - that was better to me than anything said. :)

Watercolor Setting

Some watercolor paintings I did a few months back but never got around to posting because they were far too difficult to piece together after scanning. (Thank you Erik & CS5!)

Anyway, these were locations studies I did on campus in front of the McIntosh building at different times of the day - starting with a black and white study, then morning, afternoon, and evening. I'm most pleased with the morning and especially evening study.

Not the bees!

Another character for my kid's story, it's the bee that Grubby and Mant meet on their journey!

Spreads

Some spreads I did for my sequential project, about a goose who gets too fat and cannot fly any more. Most of it was done on the computer save for the textures, which I painted and scanned into the computer.

Head studies

Not the most flattering poses.

Trees

We just recently had our big senior BFA show which is where I showed this piece for the first time. Another piece for my story for children, this shows Grubby and Mant looking down the tree where they live, ready to make their long trek....to live in another tree.

The BFA show, by the way, was a huge success and a ton of fun. I am very proud to have showcased my work with almost 50 other artists, each one bringing something different to the table. We had people with films, shadowboxes, lamps, even ouija boards. What an experience.

Movin' along....

I had a lot of fun with Grubby's size versus the dog. :)

Flower studies

Flower studies done recently, one on Yupo paper (very plastic-y, doesn't absorb water at all).

Digital Painting

My first digital painting I did for Production. I need to buy a Wacom. :)

Background

This is the world that Grubby and Mant live in - very happy and cheerful.

Grubby & Mant

Some character designs I did over this last semester. This is a story about two friends who decide to move from one tree to another because the frogs croak too loud at night. It's a fun adventure story aimed at children. More on this concept to come. :)
