Older work

I never posted these, but I worked on some 1980's themed cards for Illustration last semester. They turned out decently. Each card I did was Illustrated differently to reflect various 80's imagery/artwork. So yeah, here they are.

Some newer work

It's been awhile since I've posted, thanks mostly in part to my broken scanner and lack of a functional camera. Anyways, the Spring Semester at CIA is in full swing and I'm working on 4 simultaneous assignments currently.

For my storyboard and sequencing class, we were instructed to take a Nursery Rhyme and alter it slightly, and then storyboard it. Coming from a television and video background, this is a very fun assignment. I have written a shorthanded script and altered the narrative slightly in order to create a slightly more interesting story than the song's lyrics would suggest. My main parameter, however, is the limit of 20 frames. Therefore, I will either cut scenes or cut shots. I'll possibly even storyboard only a portion of the story, if given permission.

Anyways, here were some quick sketches of Mary and the lamb. Nothing too concrete. There are others, but this should suffice your curiosity for now...

I'm also working on a Julian Casablancas poster (even though I'm not currently sure of the state of his solo endeavors). We are making posters in graphite and light washes with handwritten type and I've got this one all layed out, it just needs some rendering. There are dozens of reference photos featuring me and a microphone in various dramatic stage poses that I hope nobody ever sees.




(NOTE: These are obviously rough sketches/layouts)



In addition, there is a Fine Art assignment in which I can do anything I want. Therefore, the project is so open I'm trying to decide if I want to do a new set of woodcuts, a silkscreen (I'm thinking of silkscreening graphite), a collage/painting on a mixed media canvas, and the list goes on. So many choices, so much work, so little time.

Here's more sketchbook stuff from over the past few months...

(I was messing with a few ink/paint techniques for these quick portraits, so Tiger doesn't really look like Tiger since I had to make up a lot of the lighting. I drew these in pencil at work and colored them days later at home.)
