Fragrance Bottle

Finally an upscale product packaging.

We had no [pretend]budget so I decided to just go all out.

The glass bottle was blown by a graduate student at my college, Chris Harman.

He was very nice in not letting me pay him to do this,

so I just slip him a free coffee every now and then. ;)

 

 The time allotted for this was 6-8 weeks.

It was fun all things considered.

But I'm honestly glad it's done.

The next project, we work with Victoria Secret.
I'll update about that when the time comes.

Doodles!

Unwinding.

Those two lovely characters on the left don't belong to me.

They belong to a friend of mine who goes by the name of Nathan DiPerri.

He was a student teacher in my senior year of High School. I learned a lot from him!

Anyway, their names are Levi and Judy and they're from his comic My Guardian Grandpa.

He seems to be going places, so make sure you give him some props!

Ice Cream Labels

I was so excited when we got this assignment.

It allowed me to apply my packaging in my illustration class!

Usually it's the other way around.

 

I don't know typography very well

and I have a hard time choosing which 

ones I want to use. 

  So I tend to make my own. 

Reminds me of my Chocolate Packaging from last year.

My very first package design! :)

A Kiss a Day

Factoids for Illustration Concepts!

Well, this is one of my many ideas, but I like the graphic look of it.

It's said that men who kiss their wives before work live 5 years longer 

than those who don't!

So men, start kissing your wives!

Doodling! I like this new style. :)

Conversation

Long time no see!

Had to do a "conversation" piece for my C.F. Payne class so I used a reference of myself getting my hair done at my sister's wedding.

Fun times!

The sketch is up because I hate the painting. I knew I'd botch it up so I scanned it for safety reasons.

Maybe I'll paint it digitally some day!

Well.. It's a little dusty in here.

Anyway, here's some stuff that I did a year ago

that I forgot about. My hard drive was acting up but

I got it to work and I noticed a few pieces I forgot 

existed.

So here they are!

Don't remember if I posted this one before, but it's slightly altered. 

We had to make a flat illustration and color/texturize it in Painter.

 Tags for Mod Cloth. Definitely one of my favorite
online sites for clothes. Wish I could buy there more often!

This is way older than a year. Probably 3.

I just happened to find it and I will always love

the way I drew the hair. Despite it being an old style.

I may finish it one day. I'll probably change everything.

But the hair.
