i got comet in my eye

Been painting a giant red snake. I've already done two coats of red on it. Now it is drying. The canvas is taking up an entire wall, forcing my bed to hang out in the middle of the room for the time being. I keep tripping over stuff and losing my pillows off the top of my bed. It's silly.

I've got to write some stupid poopid paper for my history of illustration class for tomorrow. It shouldn't take long. I'm just tired of writing papers. Every week is too much. in fact, even once a year is too much considering I'm not going to have a career that requires me to write papers...

I have a field trip for that class tomorrow. 8:30 - 6. We're going to Delaware, which means a lot of time on the ole' yella school bus. Should be interesting.

I feel sorta dizzy and weird. that can probably be attributed to prolonged exposure to various toxic fumes today. Thank you paint, bathroom cleaners, and permanent marker!

activity book


These are some pages from my Activity Book. I paste a bunch of images in a small sketchbook while i'm at home, then I draw in amongst the photographs when i'm away from home. It's lots of fun. I did these in Romanticism today.

nevermore

I went to Barnes & Noble today in the Inner Harbor. While there, I made this in photoshop. it's a real digital color mess, but I sort of like it.

rat treats

These are the finished fronts of the animal treat containers I had to make for my Graphic Design class. The containers (paint cans) were already provided for us. We had to design around them. I could post the back view, but... I don't feel like it. The lids both have a smaller version of the animal on them. I drew the pets. I posted them on here earlier while I was working on the project. I just figured I'd show you guys how it turned out.

Rat treats and dog treats. yeah.

21 Autumns and counting.


yum-yums











































This is some stuff I made for my bakery. It should be stated that i do not actually have a bakery. Yes, it is woefully unfortunate. the above desserts are vector illustrations. They're 4 inch stickers advertising the business (and just looking real tasty). I'd also make them as magnets to sell as fridge decoration or just give 'em to people who purchase large orders! The fridge above is just a fancy way of showcasing their size.

I've also made a minimal website (3 flats), wrapping papery pattern, and letter head. There's a pie box on the way and wedge shaped stickers for selling individual pieces of cake and pie in those plastic boxes.

Yup. I've been fairly prolific. And this isn't even the half of it...

I was thinking about maybe posting a large file size so you guys can set your desktop to be covered in desserts, but... unless there is some demand for this, I don't really want to take up the file space on my account.
