Packed.

Illustration friday.  

It's a Wicked Life, But What The Hell. The Stars Ain't Fallin' Down.

I am on a Bob Dylan kick.  Here is one of the pieces I completed at The Illustration Academy this summer.  This was Gary Kelley's assignment, illustrate the color blue.  An interesting tidbit of information:  When Bob Dylan was writing a song (which he explains as cubism in lyrical form)  he immersed himself in Joni Mitchell's Blue.  This piece is about Dylan quite literally and figuratively tangled up in Blue.  I want to re-do the piece in a different style. 

Showers, Shower, Flower

Here is some work that I did for a shower earlier this year.  

The Invitations.

Bingo Cards and Custom CD's.

The Flowers.

"So it is not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."  -Sen. Barack Obama

Graduation and The End of Photo113

I was sure at several points during this quarter that out of all my classes, the 100 level class would be the end of me.  I am happy to report, it was not.

here are my favorite examples from my final portfolio.

After this post I, hopefully, will be back to posting strictly illustration work, I am rather sidetracked at the moment.

Bridges, Boxes, And Beauty

I have an amazing job.  Here are a few examples of what I get to do all day.

Wrapped gifts...

Build a bridge and let your hands do the walking...

Jacques Cousteau and Escargot

I completed this piece a few weeks ago. It is based on a vision I had before I went to sleep one night of a line of snails jumping in an open mouth.  Jacques Cousteau seemed the logical candidate for a French Cuisine poster.
