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.

4/7 Sins

I'm currently in the middle of a semester-long project--themed spots for the Seven Deadly Sins. I've done four, and have three more to go (yeah, I know math). I went for a circus/sideshow theme.

Greed

Gluttony

Envy

Pride

i like ink

Shit's getting crazy, guys. 

shel

What the WHAT. It's a traditional painting. Oil and acrylic BABY.

For my portrait class, we had to do a portrait of a dead person (not like the person in the picture is dead, but just of someone who has died). I jumped at the opportunity to do a portrait of my favorite illustrator, Shel Silverstein.

Just how I like my men--
bald, pantless, and with hairy, skinny, pale legs. 

The idea here is to show his two sides. The kid-friendly and the inappropriate.

He's probably most famous for his children's books--The Giving Tree, Where the Sidewalk Ends, Falling Up, and so on. He got his start, though, in more adult work---working as a world-travelling cartoonist for Playboy magazine (where some of my favorite work by him comes from) and writing gems like Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book.

So, from this a pantless Shel Silverstein emerges. Playing guitar in front some little kids. Super cute.

It's what I aspire to.

Painting leg hair is tricky.

Rooster

Hey look.

For my Illustrator class (or Digital Graphic Illustration, but that's a bit of a mouthful, and I'm clearly too busy and important to be bothered to say it) we had to make a t-shirt design for Product(RED). 

So I put a bird on it. 

Original drawing.  I had too much fun working on it. Really!

Or a rooster, which still qualifies as a bird. We had to make it traditionally, then live trace and paint it. So I did just that.  

This shirt isn't a lame joke attempt for a serious cause. Cough, what?
