A Midsummer Nights Dream

This is a jpeg of my "bubble fairy", again inspired by the artist whose name I cannot spell or pronounce. I'm beginning to return back to the detailing style that I really enjoy but drifted away from due to the fact that I didn't think it was as successful as some of the other stuff I was seeing, however I'm beginning to realize that I can tie in the details that I've been seeing in other work that I like so much and make this successful. I've been practicing patterning with things like the pearls in the hair and on the body and such, while employing good ole Mucha's technique with the lining. I really like the results.

These are the turn arounds I developed for A Midsummer Nights Dream. The characters are Oberon and Puck.

Wedding Save the Dates

These are the Save the Dates that we sent out yesterday (finally!). They're really casual and were formatted like postcards. We printed them at Kinkos with a glossy side and a flat color side. I was really happy that they finally went out. Yay on saving costs! To make them easier to cut I had it so that the images were on opposite sides when you flipped so that I could just line it up with the color and what not. Cut fifty of those bad boys by myself. (Which you can tell towards the end--)

What I learned: Do a practice cut first due to lettering and spacing before okaying a large print order. =]

A Midsummer Nights Dream

Close up of an image that i'm going to be using in my cover page of A Midsummer Nights Dream booklet. Heavily inspired by an artist I have recently discovered and am in freakin' love with their work. On my cover I have basically decided to insert all the characters I never got to do a large image of, which means Hermia, Demetris, Bottom, etc. More to come as it grows.

Jenny Unique updates.

Some more additions/edits of pieces for my Childrens book, Jenny Unique.

A Midsummer Nights Dream

These two here are detail shots of my Oberon image from a midsummer nights dream that i'm reimagining in my Portfolio class.

Two various pieces.

These are two scans of images I did earlier in my college career here at SCAD. One was for materials and techniques 2 with Don Rogers ( Fun guy) and the other was for Editorial with Kurt Vargo (also a fun guy.)
This piece was for Don Rogers when he was first teaching us the crackling technique. I applied it a little heavier than intended but enjoyed the kind of super tarnished look. It kind of looks like some images pulled out of a fire, which I rather liked. This technique soon became a favorite of mine.
This was a piece for Editorial on the Maori tribe and how the tattoos were at one point a typical thing there and have sense become something thats fading alittle bit into the past. I also applied the crackling technique on here as well =}
