Postcard Finished!

A mockup of my postcards. They will all be hand inked and printed once I get my plates!

Fish Glitter!

Just some more playing around in photoshop.

Opinions Needed

Hey everyone,

Here are some mock ups I did of my postcards. I will eventually have two plates made (one of the lined drawing and the second with just color) and eventually I will hand ink and print these myself and hand them out for everyone to enjoy and give me work. I just want some of your opinions before I send in the paperwork to get this done.

By the way... the blue one was supposed to be yellow, but I forgot to convert it to RGB. Too late now.

Fish Concepts

Today I had such a sudden burst of inspiration and immediately got to sketching. I thought of different ideas for my business/postcards, t-shirt designs, and a shower curtain I would like to make. Along the way I decided to scan a few fish I have drawn over the past year and play with them in photoshop. Here are the results! I don't know how it'll end up, but here are some ideas I threw together.

Sketchbook

Here's a few pages from my sketchbook. It's almost finished!

I'm thinking with my new one... I will explore with different mediums and finish a page until I like it. Maybe I will treat it more as a journal again! I realize I only write when I am unhappy and need an outlet. And well lately, I just haven't been sad for long period of time! I've just been generally happy, optimistic, and hopeful. I just forget to take some time to document my life. I need to do that, especially when I am happy! For myself. It's a personal goal!

Here is the Italy trip info. I just needed a place to put it on so I can show those who are interested.

Prints!

All of my prints..

My feets..

Here is the block..

And two of the most successful (In my opinion).

I had so much fun doing these and now I must find other things to put them on. I am thinking a bathroom decor set, like a shower curtain, and hand/bath towels. Also, I wanted to sew a shirt and silkscreen some fish swimming through seaweed/hair. We will see! I keep changing my mind. I will post soon!!

Fish!

Here's a sneak peek of something I've been working on!

It's self promotional. I am thinking of putting this image on a postcard along with other images relating to fish (surprise! surprise!) on various things like business cards, clothes, and greeting cards. Something I can try and sell for Noel Night this year.

The second rendering isn't the direction I am taking it. I was in creative mode all day and after classes I uploaded my sketch and played around in Photoshop. The final piece will be a print about 9"x12". I can't wait to get started I love printmaking!

My mind is in a million places and I don't even know what to focus on first. There's so much I want to get accomplished this summer and upcoming semester. It's going to be a good one! AHHHH! :)

Mush.

Sharpie Pen!

I really like Sharpie's ultra fine point pen!

Here are some quick drawings I did

(I stole these wonderful photo references from Patrick Daly. He knows how to use a camera really well.)

I can't stop drawing today!

Warm Weather

Something quick.

Something I am exploring with.

I Wanna Rock With You

My tribute to the King of Pop.

Darling Imperial Poster

Here is the finished flyer/poster I did for Darling Imperial! Check 'em out. I learned a lot more about this software while doing this project and let me tell you... I am pro-photoshop!

Here are some of the projects I have been working on:

My friend, Chris, asked me to redesign his company's logo.

He runs an affordable computer repair service so he's your man to go to if you have any problems

Here is his website.

Here are some poster ideas I did for a local band: Darling Imperial.

Check out their music!

I just sent them the three examples and I'm waiting for them to choose which one they want me to finish.

(The color is NOT blue... I don't know why they are coming up that color. It's supposed to be a dull red!)

Anyways this was a really fun project and I hope I am able to do more for them! I really liked working in photoshop.

Anyways, I will be starting summer classes soon so make sure to check up on my blog for more recent updates!
