Sketch and Society 6

hey bby

I started getting that feeling I should update my blog. Why? I don't know and I don't have to explain myself! I'm an adult!

The bundle of line above started as a study of a piece of bread (in the middle of my ongoing love affair with ink) but I plan on pushing it beyond it's current state.

In other news, I have a Society6 page going! Click this: My Society6 Shop ! I have 4 images up (for now! more to come!), but you can buy it on a variety of products: t-shirts, laptop cases, iPhone cases,  and just oh so much more!

CHECK IT OUT.

Because I said so.

Please and thank you.

Books and Music

Who's sick of this piece? DEAL WITH IT.

To continue to add to the design side of my portfolio/beef up my design skills, I made a little mock-up of a book cover using my James and the Giant Peach piece. I'm going to make it into a hardcover sleeve. I typed that because I just thought of it, and you should always type exactly what you're thinking at that exact moment, right?

 Lunchmeat. Car Alarm. Cereal.

Is it dinner yet?

PART TWO

"In the towers of your honeycomb"

Album art! What's an album? Who knows. MP3s, iPods, internet, bro. 

Anyway, I decided to take a drawing I had (the one-eyed deer, in case there's any confusion) and apply it. I thought I'd play off of Bon Iver's music, with it's Midwestern/woodsy feel, feeling of loss and calm, and then the hexagon pattern playing off of a lyric in "Towers".

You know, explanations.

More stuff to come since I've been working not unlike how I would during the school year. Except the time that I would be in classes or at one job or another during the semester, is now filled with sandwiches, friends, [craft/snob] beers, and trips around the city.

Astronaut

Don't let the helmet fool you.

Astronauts also appreciate silence.

Hey. It's summer. This is some of what I have so far. This isn't what I intended on doing tonight, or even what I was originally working on, but this is what happened. A little one-night stand. Whoops.

James updated

He's happier now.

A small change.

Peach

Here's my final final for the semester.

A take on James and the Giant Peach. I wanted to focus on James and his relationship to the peach.

All I have left is my review for the semester. I have an exciting couple of days ahead of me slicing boards, prints, and hopefully not the rest of my fingers (there has been one casualty so far). High five, guys. 

Serpent

Another project!

The assignment was to create a vector iPad poster and vector iPad rendering. 

With copy and iPad.
You see that little iPad in the corner?
All painstakingly recreated by yours truly with that sass of a program, Illustrator.

Without copy.

It was great to apply all my new Illustrator knowledge to my own concept/idea/sea serpent. 

I had some other ideas for the project that I'm looking forward to pooping out finished products for this summer. Think: body hair and spacesuits.

I'm so close to the end of the semester and finals I can almost taste the nap I will be taking. It tastes like a beer.

Sins 5, 6, & 7

Here's the last of my Seven Deadly Sins! 

Lust

Sloth

Wrath

The whole crew!

Finals are coming to an end, so there's more work to come. I mean, I've been absent for a reason!

Gird your loins. Hold onto your hats. Keep your shirts on.

It's almost summer, guys.
