iFri; Jump.

I really liked the theme "jump" because it reminded me of the circus and how the tightrope walker is always jumping around and doing daring stuff for the show but I thought of it as being in the middle of the city on a telephone wire because I thought it to be more scary of jumping around on it because it'd be higher. I like the manual look to this the best being mostly pen and ink and just wanted to make it look cloudy to show the altitude with Adobe Photoshop.

Progress; Bikers for Babies.

This is my progress so far for my Bikers for Babies poster, using pen.

THUMBNAILS! bikers for babies.

These are my thumbnails for my March of Dimes Bikers for Babies event. I really want to either do a motorcycle with the ribbons that represent the organization coming off the handlebars, tire tracks, or a gas tank. I think I might be going with the gas tank because growing up I've always wanted to design one.

iFri; Heights.

This is my original for "heights." I had edited it to add color to the background and bring out the colors in the parachute, but I accidently overwrote it. When I redo the editing in Adobe Photoshop, I will also be posting that. But I chose this because so many people are afraid of heights and sky diving is on my bucket list, but whenever I get scared I think of this teddy bear I got when I was sick in the hospital when I was a baby and think of my grandmother. Whether its a bear or a blanket, everyone has something, usually from when they were little that they've had their whole lives that comforts them in almost every situation because it's like going back to childhood.

DESTRUCTION! mwahahahaha!

My process of this project was mostly manual. I used chalk pastel, oil pastel, acrylic, and conte. In the side you see the lightbulb falling with a quote on it and the quote finishes up on the coil. The top right is the inside of a lightbulb where the actual light comes from. When I examined it closer I was extremely surprised to find out that there are many different colors in with the filament. After putting my quote I felt as though broken concept still wasn't as filled out as I had wanted therefore, I thought back to how Olga used an overlay layer of the bark of a tree in her project and thought that she had an amazing idea with that put in broken glass which I got from this website, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Broken_glass.jpg.

illustration friday; Puzzled

Okay do you remember growing up and being short and not being able to reach things no matter how much you tried? Thats what I did for my illustration friday. I sketched it out in my sketchbook then used Photoshop to add the color.

iFri; Vocal

My idea for "vocal" was lungs and an old fashioned microphone because how much lung capacity you need to sing. And I'm a wee bit obsessed with organs because of growing up with my mom who used to work in a hospital. I used pen, pencil, and prisma markers and then upped the color intensity in the lungs and made the background color in adobe photoshop. I love the look of pen because it reminds me of "cartoons" or comics.

iFri; Return

When I saw the word return I automatically thought of how when people die, others say that theyre "going home." I thought of this because I was looking up sugar skulls because theyre so colorful, leading to the many colors in the wings. I edited with Adobe Photoshop to get a glow around the "angel" and to give her skin tone. I used pen, prisma markers, and then of course Adobe Photoshop.
