Second Postcard

Alright, so this isn't done but I thought I would put it up anyways. It's my second postcard for my series of four seasons. I'm not so sure about the background so far. I might also add some acorns and cranberry branches to it for a decorative feel. But other than that I like it.

Page 4 of The Long Catnap

I'm finally making some progress on my children's book! What you are looking at above is the layout for page number four in my book. Brigitte, my main character is chasing butterflies from flower to flower. It's not completely done yet, there is still some touch up issues on the flowers and I might even add some texture to the butterflies. But as of right now, I am a pretty happy camper with this piece. I'm really loving the type that I found online called Girls are Weird, which can be found at dafont.com. More of these will be coming shortly.

Recent Activity

I have been super busy lately. There is only 5 more weeks of school and I graduate, so, I am hunkering down in my apartment and getting stuff done. My friends mother just hired me to freelance a logo for her preschool. It's very cute. I will post that later this week, I am in the beginning sketches right now. I do, however, have some really nice work coming along in my portfolio. The piece that you see above is just one in a series of four postcards that I am working on in my professional practice class. I also found it quite fitting since we are now experiencing spring, although it doesn't really feel like it does it? More work will be coming soon.

First Book Illustration

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted anything. School work has become my number one priority. What you see above is my very first finished, vignetted, illustration for my children's book The Long Catnap. Which, just to recap, is all about Brigitte who you see above and her adventures in her dreams on a rainy day. I wanted to keep it fun and playful and have it also reflect my girly personality. There should be a second illustration coming very soon. I will try to keep posting.

New Projects

Right now my life has increased in things to do. I just finished a book dummy for the Long Catnap, which is coming along swimmingly. Soon I will be jumping into the final illustrations. I am also starting to work on an ice cream label. There is also a whole new group of Treasure Reef illustrations on my plate as well, and only two months left of college. I am hoping to document some of these endevers in the next week or so. Just and update.

New Project

The project that you see above is my new book that I am calling, The Long Catnap. It is about a cat named Brigitte and her adventures in her dreams, where she meets a friend named Carl. It's a very cute book. What you see above are the beginning stages. My story board includes the color scheme, story line, and page layout. I hope you like it!

Fact Illustration

I just recently finished the fact illustration that I had talked about in an earlier post. I am decently happy with it. The only thing that is flawed is the colored pencil on it but it's nothing that a little digital paint can't fix. Just incase you didn't read the other post the fact that is being illustrated is that zebra's can't see the color orange, which is why he is running over the orange cones! Funny, huh?
