Her Majesty

It's been a while, but here's something just for fun.

The Satisfied Moth

Hey friends!  It's springtime!  Which, if you're in Florida like me, isn't all that exciting - but for the rest of you, I'm sure you're counting down the days until summer dresses and ice cold lemonade (and whatever other summer traditions you may have).  In the mean time, you can enjoy this little drawing of a very self-satisfied looking moth creature.  Happy spring, everyone!

For Funsies

I got a Wacom tablet for my birthday and I was having some fun with it yesterday:

 

I'm pretty much in love with this new tablet; it's unbelievably easy to use.  And I'm super excited to have it in time for senior year - which starts in a week.  Just one more year at MICA and then I'm off into the world.

MiniThesis

For my Concepts II final, we spent five weeks working on a MiniThesis of our choosing.  I chose to draw a four-part series illustrating different scenes for this one bearded girl.  I think she's adorable.

Tel Aviv Hearts Bauhaus

Our latest assignment in Concepts was an 11"x17" travel poster.  The one on the left is what I turned in this morning, but after my critique I adjusted the background to create the one on the right.  Not sure which one I like better...

Little Lion Man

Another quick update - I was having fun coloring old sketches in photoshop again.  This sketch was for an etching that I did last semester.  The etching didn't turn out so well, but I still like the image.

(note: blogspot killed the color on this)

Murals!

Here's another piece for Concepts that I just finished.  Our assignment was to design a mural for a building of our choice.  I chose the H. Furlong Baldwin Library which is part of the Maryland Historical Society and located in Mt. Vernon.

The proposed mural:

 What it might look like on the building:

 

Side note: I have begun t-shirt production on my faux-losophy shirts!!  But!... I overestimated my skills at screen printing and ended up ruining four shirts because I tried to screen print in my apartment in a makeshift kind of way.  So, from now on I'm going to not be lazy and actually make my way down to the Dolphin Bulilding so I can use the screen printing classroom in there.  Hopefully, I'll have better luck that way and not waste so many t-shirts.

Anyway, Thanksgiving is almost upon us and I can't wait to go home!!  I'm very ready to spend a little time away from Baltimore and the stress of college life.  Florida and delicious holiday food, here I come...!
