Happy Barber Men

I always get sidetracked when I'm doing thumbnails...I'm illustrating the word "manscape" in Illustration. So I'm going with this funny barber shop...where the men come in..and have "landscaping" done. Bald men's heads are watered with the flower pot, men's afros are turned into tree like sculptures. It's going to be fun! But then I started painting little barber men ...I'm always distracted. :)

Time to photograph some paintings

The pictuers I took earlier in the year were horrible....these are a bit better.

I used the pallette knife on this and wanted to play with color....it's a bit intense and I still have to tone it down, but I really like the feeling of it.

This painting was at the beginning of the semester it's not one of my favorites but I had fun at the time.

This is me having a laugh...didn't you know that Vader had his own crazy straw?

Sketchbook!

Sketchbook! I've been having alot of fun experimenting in my sketchbook lately. I've been playing with different medias and papers. It's fun all wrapped up together!

I went job hunting downtown on Friday. I was there for about 9 hours....4 of which I spent just sitting at Panera or on the lake drawing. :) Heres a few pages that I did. It was great :)

Pratt Spazmo

Clown Book

This Semester I had the pleasure in meeting Karen and Greg DeSanto, at the Circus Sarasota. After interviewing them and having a few laughs, I made my first artist's book. I wanted to make an interactive, fun, children's book. There are paper dolls, sliding pieces, and windows to open. On Karen's costume she has two large yellow pockets on red pants, and with the cover of the book I wanted to imitate that. In the pocket are the pieces for the paper dolls and a Ukulele. The entire experience was rewarding in so many ways. The actually construction of building the book is difficult, but I had lots of fun :) So here are some of the pages.

A sophisticated drink, for a sophisticated pig.

These are wine labels that I designed for Pratt's class. I was playing off of the classic Three Little Pigs, which everyone loves!
