Still working away. However a lot of my projects are finally starting to come together. Love that feeling. I have been taking advantage of this time off to really polish my work and do something I can add to my portfolio.

Here is a banner I put together for a friends jewelry company. Basically did the outline in Illustrator and coloring in photoshop.

Finished up the graphic and background for the type project. This is the Rough. Probably will play around with the type a bit more before I do the final. Basically done besides making the actual book though.

This is the rough for the film poster. Same as the book cover, I still have to mess around with the type a bit. It basically done except a few minor details. 

Working on final projects

Up working on my final projects for Concept Strategies and Type. Liking how the poster is going. However it still needs the film and some textures. Finished up the graphics and started setting the type today.

Began on the line work for the book cover today. Im going to build up the lines in illustrator but color everything in photoshop. The finished product is going to be an actual book. Looking forward to having a legit book to put in my portfolio. 

Planning on working all during my break and producing some work I can be proud of. Its not that hard when we have some cool projects. 

Studio Tour, Final Projects, Cabinet Project

I love living in Austin. Went to the East Austin Studio tour last weekend with my bud Kalyn who is a jewelry maker. We got this whole new level of inspiration. We truly have some amazing talent here and I am going to make myself more involved with the Austin Art scene and try to find a shop I can learn from. Also, I have been thinking a lot about printing and getting my own space for making prints, designs, and fine art. Seeing other artists do it has made it seem very obtainable. Here are some pics of us and some cool pieces I saw. Going to visit next weekend too.

School is coming to an end and I have been working on my final projects. In concept strategies we have been working on an experimental movie night poster. I have this idea of a flock of flying cameras. I'm building it up in Illustrator but also working in photo shop. Here are some wip shots.

This is the main graphic. I made it in Illustrator. 

This is the graphic with the grid. It is no where close to being finished. 

Im also working on a book cover design for Thanasphere by Kurt Vonnegut. In 3D im doing another wire sculpture of a replica piece for Louise Bourgeoisie. Been very busy, I just need to keep my stamina up and finish out this year with a bang.

Yesterday, I finished up the cabinet (fninally). Im very happy with how it tuned out. 

  

First screen prints

Super excited about what I have been doing in my spare time. I've been thinking a lot about screen printing since company called drive by press came by my school. I got this 40 percent off coupon and decided to get a screen printing kit. I used the photo emulsion method. Initially I messed up and didn't burn the screen long enough so the fine lines didn't show up. I redid it though and the second screen came out better. It's funny because redoing things always happens but it is apart of the process. Defiantly learned a lot.

Chocolate box

Wrapped up a couple of projects this week. First I completed my chocolate box design for concept stratigies class. My goal was to create a kind of sexy, vintage,cool box design. I also wanted to incorporate my illustration skills. Attached some work in progress and the finished product along w my classes work.
