WORKING ON A WEBSITE!

I am working on a website right now, because blogger isn't quite doing it for me. 

Here are pictures of my Thesis show at MICA to enjoy until my portfolio site is done.

A Sneak Peek

what will be at art market! Almost done... one more week!

From 2009

I never posted this... it was a piece I did as a reflection of the time I spent in Portugal (summer 2009). It's a pretty big piece... and more of a fine art piece than illustration, but I like it! Collaged maps, acrylic, pen, acrylic paint on acetate, and thread on paper.

I'M BACK!

After basically forgetting that the blogging world existed, I'm back.

I've been working on Thesis and I've been letterpressing 24/7. I should have good pictures soon. My camera is on hiatus, but soon I will have nice images of what my letterpress prints look like. 

These are 3 letterpress prints I did for my thesis. A 10x10 and two 8x10s. 

Here are some marigolds.

Here are images for a Dia de Los Muertos travel kit I am working on.

Some of my letterpress creations. I could only find a few to scan:

A promotional card for art market, inspired by Globe poster.

My business cards!

Much more to come. There is A LOT I'm working on. I promise. 

Concepts II Final

I created a brand called charm (ing) city and these are just some of the products that have come from it. 

The two postcards.

The illustrations in the pattern I did. This pattern could be a gift wrap, wall paper, or even fabric.

I am thinking I might want to switch out the part that says "Greetings From Baltimore" for the charm (ing) city logo instead. I think that would make more sense and just look better.

Cookbook- Click recipes to make bigger!

I worked on a cookbook all semester for The Illustrated Book. It was really fun once I got into it. I really like the results. There are 16 spreads and I tried to open them all and my computer froze up, so I am just going to upload a few! You'll have to ask to see the rest.

There are fifteen recipes and they all have different patterns behind the illustrations of the food that are modern representations of ancient patterning from that country. Some of this food is very delicious.

On the first day of my Concepts II class, my teacher handed us each a blank story book. We wrote the beginning of a story, and passed it to someone else. Every week we each have to illustrate what has been written, then turn the page and write next part of the story for the person who has it next week to illustrate. This past week was spring break, and whichever book we had, we got to finally do the cover for! I had a book that was about Nikola Tesla looking for love. Here is what I came up with.

and here is my silly sketchbook piece [corresponding to the story, of course]

for some reason it won't let me show you the rotated scan.
