Sketches.

Just a few sketches from my senior year notebook I found on my computer. I had used these for some projects throughout the year, which is pretty much the only reason I have them scanned.

I'll have to pull more from that sketchbook when I get ahold of that scanner again. I actually had a lot of fun filling that one up. :)

Rapunzel

Neil Peart

You get a cookie if you knew who that was before I told you. :)

Hamper Design.

Class: Advertising Team

A simple hamper design. The initial design was for kids and it was a giraffe picking clothes off the tree, but I changed it to appeal more to mom's.

Target Card.

Class: Advertising Concepts

Semester long project - Target Gift Card. 

I imagined the background being somewhat holographic.

Watch Your Step.

Class: Design for Illustration

Simple sketch to final process. Had a lot of fun with this one.

Patterns in Nature.

Class: Design for Illustration

The idea for this project was to play around with patterns in nature - spirals, branching, polygons, etc.

First was a black and white comp of two or more of these patterns, then a colored final that loosely followed the initial comp.

Black and White

Color Final

Chocolate Packaging.

Class: Design for Illustration

Simple chocolate packaging for my Design for Illustration class. 

This is one I am particularly proud of, and it was the beginning of my passion for package design.

Sculpture Turn Around Sketches.

Class: Illustration Methods

These preliminary sketches were for a sculpture we had to build for a final. I will not, however, post pictures of the final sculpture. It is in the trash. 3D is currently not my forte.

Wonder Woman and Super Girl.

One of many Sophomore Year finals I had to complete. 

Class: Electronic Illustration

Subject: Transformation

The idea was to incorporate "Transformation" of any kind into your subject matter. Two illustrations, anything you wanted, using two of the following - Photoshop, Illustrator or Corel Painter.

I had chosen Wonder Woman and Super Girl and transformed them into 50's Pin up Girls.

Paper Texture is one of my favorite things to incorporate into my artwork. 

You'll see it present many times throughout this blog.

Greetings, Fellow Bloggers!

This is my attempt at keeping an updated blog of my own Illustrations and Design work. A portfolio, if you will. I figured it was better than a Deviant Art and a little less complicated than a full on website. So let's get started!
