Christmas!

The christmas, I decided to make a card for Mary. Most people probably wont get it so I will explain. When me and Mary started dating we decided what our spirit animals were. We agreed the she is a snow leopard and I am a puffin. That being said, I painted a christmas snow leopard with a christmas puffin using gouache.

Poem Illustration

So for childrens book illustration, we had to make an illustration of a childrens poem. I chose the poem " I Spied My Shadow Slinking" from the book "the new kid on the block". This illustration went really fast and was still, a pain in the ass. it is painted with gouache on paper.

So

Been a while. I have just been busy with my internship, designing bags, party ware, roll wrap and whatnot. Figured I might just post a couple things, nothing special, and most likely these wont be used so I cant feel to bad about it.

so...

This is starting to get a little torturous. I have so much I would like to post but I can't because it is all work related and therefor not suppose to be on here, or at least until they reject it. I also miss painting ohhhh so very much. All I get to work with here is digital. Dont get me wrong, this is exactly what I want to be doing now and after school, but I cant help but miss my old stuff. I really really need to just start painting again in my free time.

Product Re-do

Currently in product design we are re-making packaging for products that need a makeover. I am redoing an earl grey tea put out by the company "Bigelow". The tea tastes great but the box needs some help. Here is what I have so far. I decided to make it more illustrative while keeping similar colors. Also posting a "before and after".

BEFORE:
AFTER:

Pattern Time

This was one of the first patterns I made in Product Illustration. I hand painted it, scanned it in, watched the colors fall apart, and pieced it all together in photoshop. Could have been better but I really like the concept.

Some Product Illustration

The assignment was too design a set of kid's bedding with a lamp to mach it. I chose rabbits mixed with a home made Victorian pattern I had a lot of fun designing.

Flight

This image was all about some of the first attempts at flight. I say attempts because this model of plain could never fly also I am trying to imply that it is about to crash into the water. Anywho, acrylic on paper.
p.s. For more sand dune images go to www.smallcurd.blogspot.com

Ok

So this one took a long long while to do. For illustration 4 I painted a clock maker in his surroundings trying to make him feel completely engulfed in his job, I guess. Anyways, it was annoying to do but Im happy with the way it turned out. Also, it is acrylic on arches.

Time For A New One

This was a piece I did recently for my product illustration class. The assignment was to make a design for a band shirt. I did this one in acrylic on paper and really liked it until I added the text digitally. Im thinking about going in and putting something other than a band name on the wall with paint and most likely keeping it a lot classier. Also, the hat will not be in a revised version either, I painted that seperitely and put it in on the computer. Anywho, yep yep yep.

Sooooo..... Some Political Work. Eh?

For illustration 4, we had to do a piece involving the word "waterfall" so I was like "hey, political stuff! Why the hell not?" and did a piece about the economy.  Interpret it however you want.  I guess.  oh well, its acrylic on paper.

Collage

Well, I figure it's just about time I put up another one of those pesky old posts. I haven't done much stuff lately so I figured I would put up some older stuff. This was one of my first attempts at collage and mixed media. We had to do a little self portrait as an in-class assignment. Also, a new semester is upon us and even better, A NEW PRESIDENT!
