Baby kites!

Doing a project over 'Flying graphic design' on Thursday and i choose to focus on kites........so I made little kites for everyone!

It's Art Y'all!

Nathaniel, Seth, & I had an art show at Rocketown last Saturday. It wasn't anything big, but it was defiantly fun and care free. All of us sold at least one thing on the first night. It's still up for another week I believe. Anyways here are a few pictures.

Isle of Printing workshop.

For my Illustration class today everyone went to Isle of Printing to do a collaboration poster for the Hot Chicken Festival in Nashville. Each person was given a 7x7 linoleum block and carved out their own version of a 'hot chicken'. We did 2 colors: black & copper. Bryce at Isle of Printing did the background and type.

The Blood of a Poet

I had to watch and write a research paper over 2 of Jean Cocteau's films.
The Blood of a poet was one of those, and a peculiar one at that. I did like it though and I decided to let it influence a series of pictures I took for fun.

I think it was this scene in particular that I really liked. If you get a chance to see it you should check it out. It is very surrealistic.

silk scream!

So I drew this guy on some transparency and waaalaa....multiple prints. I'm going to do a ton more of these with various watercolors.

Done!

Ah this has taken me longer than usual to finish. I just couldn't decide on the right color scheme for the tents and the surrounding ornamental figures and when I did the line quality was starting to wear out due to scanning and re-scanning. SO...I ended up going back to my original water color and coloring it the color I had already started to and finished it up.

Here it is!

It is for the American Artisan Festival here in Nashville.
Tomorrow a few people putting it on are going to choose one from my Illustration 1 class to use for the poster and the winner gets 500 bucks. wish me luck!

Type illlustration

The guidlines:
Pick an event, make a sentence that sums up the event, use the sentence or a few words from it and illustrate it with a material that relates to it. The main point was to use the material to form the type.

My sentence: My dad put creme in my coffee. 

yeah it's simple but it didn't have to be a really epic event. It is more about the memory of my dad bringing me coffee in the morning before school.

So anyway, I used coffee, creme+a little coffee, and the grinds.

Illustration Friday

4 color process..

I did 10 of these babies.
one on cloth and the others on some nice print paper.
I plan to try and sell a few so if anyone is interested let me know.

Also there has been this random frame up in some branches by my house. I have no idea how it got there because I'm the last one that lives on my street, so no traffic is around my house. Maybe a storm?
