Silly Goose!

yeah, I know its been a while since my last post...but Iv'e been busy making art and working on finals :P So here is one of my latest pieces for illustration seminar. Silly Goose...I think it speaks for itself....Enjoy.

The Show

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I have been busy working on our senior show and a few other projects! The Show turned out great, everyone in our group worked really hard and did an awesome job. It was great seeing all my work from the year up on the wall. Special thanks to my wife and family for all the help with hanging the show and making food.

3rd Ruby in the Smoke

3rd finish of 3 final Ruby in the Smoke illustrations

Birth of Athena

My 4th thesis illustration, The Birth of Athena.

Ghost Baby!!!

Here is my annoying sound illustration for Seminar. Its that sound at 3 or 4am when the cat comes walking into your bedroom with toy mouse in mouth while letting out muffled meows which sound like a ghost baby haunting your room....enjoy.

Next thesis sketch

Thesis illustration #4 will be Athena, had her birth from Zeus's forehead fully armed with sword and shield with her owl like the myth.

Finally finished Lamia!

Here is my finished Lamia illustration for thesis. After 2 false starts the 3rd time proved to be the charm. I had so many problems with stylizing the figure the way I wanted, but most of all the rocks! I use actual rocks I took pictures of when I was in Greece. I really liked the look of some of the greyish brown rocks at the beach in Mykonos, and how they all seemed to jet out at a 45 degree angle. Overall this piece is a bit more realistic in the way that I rendered it making it a bit of a hybrid, I think for the next piece I want to do more of a stylized figure like in my Pandora piece. But that being said I think it works well for this piece.

Ruby in the Smoke Spot

Here is my Ruby in the Smoke chapter header spot illustration finish. I decided to got with Sally's gun that she keeps in her purse and the Ruby itself just as a fun little spot to go on the top of each chapter title to round off the project. This is done in black and white watercolor like the others. Next, chapter #3!
