Pigeons!

Did these little guys for my internship! The wood-cut inspired one is digital, and the rest are gouache with just a few digital details.

Vend Send Mend

Here's my piece for Vend, Send, Mend! All proceeds from the show go to Doctors Without Borders and the Japan relief effort. The colors on Blogger might be a little bright; the blacks are a little darker in person. It's ink, marker, and gouache (I think you can do washes with gouache, right...?), and I'll do a digital version at some point, too.

Some kids

I recently got an internship at Carus Publishing in Chicago! (I start officially in a few days) As I was applying for the position and conversing with the art director, he asked me if I ever drew anything for younger audiences. After looking over my portfolio, panicking, and spending a night drawing these kids, I was able to tell him yes (or at least that I was capable of drawing a person younger than 15, kind of.)

Pride

I think Blogger might have clobbered the quality of this, but anyway - this was a poster illustration for my Lifestyles class. It was part of a diptych showing pride and humility (or superbia and humilitas in Latin). These ladies are a little too self-obsessed, but definitely more fun to draw then their humble counterparts.

Ginger

Just a little something - gouache and digital.

Paintings

Thought I would share these one-shots. Scanners are not kind to oil paint.

Style Buddies

This is an ongoing "paper doll" assignment for Lifestyle Illustration. The assignment was to draw three characters and dress them in designer clothes each week. Here are a few of mine.
