sketches

here are some sketches for my next illustration assignment. it's a children's book assignment.. again. i picked the book the cat who went to heaven, it's about a japanese artist who gets chosen to make a painting for the local Buddhist temple. the artist gets this cat, bla bla bla. anyway, here are some character sketches. i changed the artist character to a girl because i wanted to. anyway, yeah.

first, an unrelated drawing of feet.














oh and about that other illustration i posted, the concept was creating a story using a made up title you were given and then doing a book cover illustration for that story. my title was "someone's crumbs" and the story revolves around how this woman's life changes after her husband's death. and so on. it's really dumb, but yeah that thing in her arms is supposed to be an urn. urn.. crumbs.. i'm terrible, i know.

an update!

a few things from this semester so far.. some you can click to enlarge, some i didn't feel were worth the trouble. i'm sure you can figure it out.


some studies for my next illustration

i finally got a digital camera! so expect an update soon, once i catch up to where i need to be with school. man this semester's givin me gray hairs.

jesus it's about time i updated this thing

here are a select few pieces i did this past academic year, if anyone cares. some of you may've already seen a few of these on my myspace, but there are some other ones i don't believe i've posted anywhere yet. critiques are more than welcome and would be greatly appreciated!!! i wish i had more work to show, but all of my good stuff is back in florida.. these are just the ones i happened to scan or photograph throughout the year. sorry they're all so small, i can upload the larger versions if anyone is interested.

this is the painting that got into the best of ringling show. it's supposed to be aphrodite, the goddess of love. this photo sucks balls. i promise this looks much better in person.
