Sketch Time

Nothing much to say today other than the fact that this has been a stressful week. But, I was able to get a little sketch time in today. So I suppose it could have been worse.

Thriller Night

I was hoping to create a series of 3-4 posters, themed after one of the greatest music videos of all time. It was taking way too long, so I was only able to complete 2 of them. They didn't quite turn out as I hoped. I will probably have to fix them up a bit before they go in my portfolio.

New Logo Design

Alright, the logo I have been working on is done. There were some changes to the hair color and some cleanup work that I did since the previous version. This was a fun one for me (I had quite a bit of creative freedom). Now for business cards, letterhead, etc., etc., etc... ; )

Illustration Friday

For this weeks topic of "flying" I thought it would be interesting to draw what it would be like for someone (or something) who would hate flying but was forced to. I imagine most people think how amazing it would be if they were able to fly. I personally think it would be great. But what if you couldn't stand it.

Accessories Logo

This blog and portfolio website was a great idea!! The first day I posted I got some work out of it. Anyway, I won't say much about the project until it is finished. But, here are some initial illustration concepts from that job (a redhead girl wearing sunglasses). After multiple sketch ideas I colored 3 different versions with different levels of detail.

Unraveling Self Portrait

It's Friday again! This week seemed to go by really fast. I don't have any work that I can post just yet...so in the meantime I am posting an oldie but a goody (at least for me). Here is a piece that I did a long time ago. I was really into M.C. Escher for a while and this was a self portrait that was inspired by one of his works.

Wednesday Sketch

I haven't posted anything in a couple days. I have gotten busy this week both at work and at home. When it rains it pours (well it rains anyway). So, I don't have any new work to post. But, when I was looking through some old stuff I came across my sketchbook from my graphic design school. I had sketched a buddy of mine as we were sitting in class. It was a quick sketch (most of my sketches are done pretty quick). I wonder if he remembers this...

Sidewalk Chalk

Today was another hot day. So of course my daughter and I decide to spend some of it outside doing some sidewalk chalk. We don't have a lot of colors to choose from, but we usually have a lot of fun and come up with some interesting stuff.

The bricks on our back patio were a good grid for getting some balanced designs.

I have to say, she is getting pretty good. She made the sun all by herself.

Friday Sketch

Whooohhoooo!! It is Friday!! I can't wait for this weekend to begin. It was a long week at work, plus I have been working on getting this blog started AND getting my portfolio up online. All around a rather busy week. Anyway, I thought that I would start the weekend off right by posting some sketch work (just random stuff)

Infinite

Here is my first Illustration Friday post. The theme of the week is infinite and as many of you know, a child's curiosity is infinite.
