Long long time..

So, I'm back in my hometown and working hard, or trying to.
I got myself an intern at Dorrance Publishing, a local subsidy publisher and I'm really enjoying it.
I'm finally getting myself back together and providing myself a creative outlet.
Here's some things I've been working on. I've been doing a lot of scanning and book cover and back cover layouts. Some of them I match to already created covers, while others I also design the cover. Hopefully you like because I've been having fun!







Nothing too fancy and just a collection.
I've been getting back into sketching and doing a personal piece for myself, so hopefully I can upload that one soon enough.

Check out the amazing, fabulous Evan Kitson's work He inspires me!

After School

So I finally graduated and as you can see, I've slacked off completely with this blog thing.
I moved to New York City. Though, I'm not really sure if I'm going to pursue art any time soon.
But I finally got my kick back for wanting to draw! The only thing that isn't so great is the fact that I don't have a scanner, so I will have to make due with my camera... which isn't too bad.

Here's a picture I drew lately, thinking all book cover-like.
I want to go in and fix up a background, maybe. Then I am going to try to color it, either watercolor or digital. Might try digital since I have it.

Some pretty awesome stuff...

Just ran into this artist and video today from Google's Artist of the Day submissions...
well, I went to the Artist's website to find this guy. Dan Dos Santos, and omg his stuff is beautiful.
I loved this video which showed him painting in fast-forward. Very interesting! Makes me want to buy his dvd out for book cover painting... someone should buy it for me... haha.

Senior Show and Celebration

So, I just got back from my senior show where I exhibited four pieces of artwork. I had a great time (the building was hot!) and it was a nice final time to spend with my classmates.

Here's the work I presented:





I like them all, with Pj being my favorite. I am graduating next saturday and moving, so I hope to still be able to get artwork up online...

One week left... and counting.

I got my postcards printed! I liked how they came out so much that I ordered business cards and more postcards (but with a different image)
so I'm excited to see how those turn out.


I also have gotten a number of my thesis pieces done and working with the type on them. They are looking really nice. Pj Harvey is my favorite..


I'll post more when I get a chance to change the file size...
But be sure to check out my new website where I'll just have my art.

And last but not least, I have the piece I finished for the gallery for the senior work.
I did one of my nieces that I'll be giving to someone in my family. haha. I really like it.
(( To be added, colors won't load properly ))

That's all for now. So very exciting.

AIGA

We went to an AIGA review over the weekend, and by we I mean Connie, Abby, and Liz.
It was a really cool experience and definitely jump shot my motivation in art. It was quite a relief to hear opinions outside of the same ones I've been hearing for the past 3 years... as well as from professionals who work with illustrators.
So, thumbs up to that!

In other news, I've been working more on my thesis and they are all coming along nicely.



I also have quite a few things I want to scan and post, so stay tuned for that soon! Its such a busy final month of class, I am keeping a list close by so that I get it all done.
Other than that, I'm going to have to keep a camera near by so I can get some photos.
