2010-11-14T10:52:00.000-08:00

While in the middle of painting my collection of desserts and self portraits. My friends and I thought we should spend Halloween weekend breaking world record Zombie walk in NJ. and we did. there were over 4900 Zombies, zombie babies and zombie pets. you just show up at the boardwalk dressed as a zombie and await to be counted and join in the zombie walk from nj to ny 3 mile walk. by the time we were counted my friends and I decided it was too cold and how would we get back from ny when are cars are in nj in freezing cold. maybe next year we will dress as warmer zombies. lots of good costumes, zombie JFK, zombie hotdog, zombie Wheres Waldo, zombie bananas, zombie

Trying to keep busy and trying to find a halloween theme to paint. cuz its comming soon. here are a few drawings for my A-Z desserts.

hey i dont need to explain my reason for not posting my blog. but it does have alot to do with this dragging depressing winter. AARRRGGG. so I got out my micron and lots of coffee and did this. I hope to do more of this i enjoy microns.

Shame on me!

Ok well when im unsatisfied with a illustration I usually will start over. I redid this self portrait. I first is the one in bright pink. which I think is too bright but at the same time I enjoy bright colors and the skin tone stands out. the second looks great but scanned in look too pale and not as bright. its out in a field so I think shouldnt the whole illustration be brighter? so Im asking anyone who sees this which looks best. I like them both for different reasons. VOTE VOTE VOTE! thanks. and no I dont have a huge ego where i must paint myself so many times...well sort of. lol

Vote vote vote YAY

2008-06-28T08:51:00.000-07:00

I submitted one of my designs to threadless.com so vote! i wanna see this on a shirt.

yarn YAY!

2008-06-22T13:19:00.000-07:00

WOW I havent posted a blog in such a long time.....I have been busy lately setting everything up and preparing to move. I havent drawn in awhile too (shame on me) so first thing i drew yarn...yup yarn. The first illustration was done using micron pens and coloring it in photoshop, I also submitted it to threadless.com hope it goes through. and thought i would keep playing around with this. yarn is harder to draw than u think. its also alot of fun. Im gonna continue drawing these since the wrappings of it is what...interesting.

graphic design stuff

2008-04-22T19:30:00.000-07:00

Some graphic design samples trying to work more on more photoshop and Illustrator while finishing up work in indesign. Trying whatever I can. lol

Its True.

2008-04-03T20:21:00.001-07:00

I would like to describe my work as very personal, flooding from my mind, imagination. Illustrations that come out unusual but I've been noticing how lonely, vulnerable they look (ex. very unfortunate, oldies but goodies...my book dummy). But humorous at the same time to lighten it up, everyone feels it so I know I shouldnt feel guilty. I painted this in november...in a bit of a hurry.

Oldies but goldies

2008-03-23T16:02:00.000-07:00

My first illustrations trying out cut-paper. which came out great. Working on cut paper definitely helps when you have color issues or put in alittle variety into your usual illustrations. This was from my junior Illustration final. I wanted to create something unusual and humorous.

new works. I finished this a few months ago but i have been so busy with two jobs and a internship I just come home and crash. But now my other jobs spring schedule is a lot slower and i have used this time to set up my site and painting as much as I can while going back to school. yes very busy.

2007-06-08T21:52:00.000-07:00

this is my first vector art using photoshop. photo of my friend nicole dressed as the black dalia for halloween. it was alittle difficult at first but i enjoyed producing it. and timed myself, 7hrs with tons of layers.

wood

2007-05-14T14:21:00.000-07:00

these I traded in even before I made them, more of my drawings in pen and ink on wood.

very unfortunate

2007-05-14T14:18:00.000-07:00

this is my latest illustration. It is now in the senior show in the hardie building, a week earlier it was in my senior thesis show. it is painted on gessoed illustration board which I like alot because it really shows the scraping of the watercolor. I like illustrating whatever comes out of my head, fun or unusual but i do take my work seriously, i stay up late to work on illustrations when i dont even have to.

artist notebook

2007-05-14T13:56:00.000-07:00

this is from my artist notebook. first image is from a page in my notebook and the other two are the finals for that class. and one of them I traded. but i can make more.

beardlady

2007-05-14T13:43:00.001-07:00

what i like about art or illustration in general is comming up with ideas for my next piece. but when im stuck....i read the news and usually one illustration will inspire the next. my beardman was from the news so this is what came after. beardlady...i was also watching Carnivale at the same time...good show everyone should see it. if the image looks well...bad..not everything can be fixed in photoshop.

Mustache man

2007-04-22T00:37:00.000-07:00

This is for my show comming up in May....so you better be there. there wont be areal theme or anything except just comming up with more random and unusual work. I got this idea from the news. I guess they have these beard competitions so I thought it would be fun to paint this one up. this time the skin tone is the color i wanted because i was painting skin tones too dull. I changed my palette alittle as suggested. feedback or advice is always good, even encouragement since I doubt my work sometimes.

Raining Cats and Dogs

2007-04-22T00:25:00.000-07:00

This work is just acrylic and watercolor. Im not in in Independant projects this semester so i dont have a subject or theme, so I have far less work made this semester. But I have been spending even more time in my studio now...its like my second home its just as messy as a my room and car so im comfortable with staying my studio for 6 or more hours straight. this piece was success but thats because again I spent and took alot of time into this one. But alas the colors are much darker than they should. good thing i was able to fix it in photoshop. I've been told that if i was Childrens book Illustrator my work would appeal to depressed kids. so im doing something about it, been changing my palette up and practicing more on just acrylic and watercolor. I just hope it doesnt look like crap in the end. because my senior show is comming up and im trying NOT to screw up.

aarrrggg roosters are so NOISY!

2007-04-22T00:14:00.000-07:00

This is from this semester and my latest cutpaper illustration it is my Noise piece from senior sem...roosters arrggg so annoying and the background is SUPPOSE to be a sunrise but afew noticed it looks more like a beach, which I didnt notice until later. I love the color of the background i really dont want to go back and change it. As much as I like it I have been getting bored with the same routine of painting, cutting and then painting it again there are so many pieces to cut and paint over it would take me the rest of the night to glue it. I want to keep changing my style and medium. I dont want to do the same thing over and over again. mixing it up and challenging myself is what im currently after. so will I still be doing cutpaper. yes I will but I dont want to be known as a cutpaper illustrator.

2007-04-21T23:55:00.000-07:00

the poem for is 'Last Night I Dreamed Of Chickens' by Jack Prelutsky. I just imagined chickens flying all over the bed, I wanted this piece to be energetic and fun. I had alot of fun with this piece, I have been working faster and can see an improvement compared to my first cutpaper illustration, which isnt up due to the scanner breaking..again.

Hippo

2007-04-21T23:50:00.000-07:00

Another Cutpaper piece from last semister. I forgot what poem this was for but its about hippos flossing...yeah. anyway. it was alot darker but i was was able to fix it in photoshop. for each cutpaper work it usually took me between one to two weeks. it sounds like a long time but it from painting my own paper, cutting them up and adding watercolor.

Use for a moose.

2007-04-21T23:30:00.000-07:00

one of my first works using acrylic, watercolor, thread and cutpaper. this was for my senior Independant projects and my project was unusual poems for children. this piece is from Shel Silverstein's 'Use for a Moose'. which is one of my favorite poems because everyone knows that Shel Silversteins poems are kick ass.
