Never Let Them Fool You

A few Illustrations for my Personal Project in my Mentorship Class. I like the water, and themes of deception.

There's A Light

At the deep dark depths of the ocean... there lies a peaceful and magnificent creature... that will eat you the second you get too close to its glowing flesh ball. Did I mention that I LOVE Angler fish? I think I did.

Rocking Art-ists

We had an assignment at school to illustrate two artists from back in the day that would be considered "rock".

I present Elvis and Paul McCartney from The Beatles.







































Done in oils, a medium I have found to enjoy quite a bit. A special thanks to Beck, who stood by me painstakingly watching me fail, and helping me succeed, as she always does.

Mentor-ment

Jim Benton.

Author, Illustrator, New York Times Best Seller, and...

My Mentor!

See, at F.I.T, there is a class that we are required to take. That class is a Mentorship Program, where we, the aspiring Illustrators of the future, have to go out and seek out a professional Illustrator of choice. When I emailed Mr. Benton, I didn't even think that it was a possibility that he would write back.

Well he did.

And in the coming Fall of '09, the creator of...

AND


















...will wish he never said yes in first place. I apologize in advance.

Nappage

So we have this Digital Painting class and... well... I haven't really painted digitally before, so this was definitely a new experience. I don't want to say I am done with this, but it is progress. The original painting is done by Craig Mullin, one of my favorite illustrators by the way, and this was done with Photoshop. (Thank you Wacom Tablet!)

We're learning how to paint in Coral Painter soon, and I am super excited for that. I really am expecting to have a good portfolio by the time I'm done, I feel like I've been slacking quite a bit lately. Well, here's to bigger and better things toward the future!

Carrot Funness

So these are just a pair of precarious rabbits trying to reach some carrots. Silly rabbit, trix are for kids! Done in Illustrator because I happen to enjoy it, thank you very much.
