Color study/doodle for an illustration I want to work on:

Jolly Green Alex

I want to redesign/redo my entire website. Why change it yet again? Can't be helped. Gives me something to do. Plus! I have a really good idea. :D

I want to use the pattern below and incorporate it into the design of the website (royalty free floral pattern.... score!). From that pattern, I will use the color palette throughout, explaining why I am green in that sketch. I was looking at Laz's site, so the sketch looks similar to his index splash for the moment. But I like the idea of having an index splash... is that even the right terminology? Anyway... I still do not have an idea for the rest of the site. So I have to brainstorm a little more. Poo.

Btw, the Wooster on Spring event was AMAZING! I'm on this insane creative high now.

I guess that inspired the green self portait lol.

art of alien raver

Here is a concept sketch for the main character of my comic "Alien Raver", Mohawk. I have been trying to work my website, but I really don't have a head for website design. At least for me. I'm too damn picky about it. Grrr.



Btw, check out this site: Rocketo. This on-going series is really well written, and has amazing art. His style is just lovely.

Where is everyone?

Hey All, Just posting to find out what happened to everyone's creative juices.. This blog was really thriving for a while and it became very exciting to see everyone's works and works in progress. I know you have stuff to show, im sure some of you are in classes that request some form of creation, and if not, even a doodle will suffice. Dont let the blog die out. :)

It's a form of escape for some of us, lets keep the art alive people!

VECTORIFIC!

MORE ART SCHTUFF

More pieces of randomness.

SOME ARTWORK

Here are a few pieces i've done recently, except for "La Mexicana", which was done while i was in school.

Now in Technicolor!

Yeah, these might seem familiar to you. And they should be! Today I took out my Prismacolor Markers and got to it. I also bought a gold paint marker for some detailing. (It's shiny! Blindingly bright!!) I hope to finish it by next weekend... maybe. I have been animating for my friend's thesis film, so most of my free time is being sucked up. I need to sprout another set of hands or something.

SCULPTURE

I've been working on a series of sculptures that I want to present in an installation in the future as a piece. Here is my first complete one.. This piece takes the lack of life (the mediums used were tape, wire, newspaper and glue) and attempts to create the idea of life and form. It doesnt ignore it's construct, but revels in it, creating an almost burnt cadaver feel while giving the viewer a sense of the female body. let me know what you think.

DECEMBER CHALLENGE (UPDATED)

So, no one seemed enthused about the challenge i posted, and in retrospect I feel it kinda blows..lol.. SOOOOO..
I've changed the idea.. it's equally as open and equally as personal taste/ability based.

The revise is that we'll be creating a piece of art, which can be made of any medium you'd like (fine art, digital, sculpture, vector, photography), including three of your life inspirations. need some elaborating? The challenge is to create an entire composition of visual art containing in some form, three individuals that have inspired your life and your art form. These individuals can be music artists, fine artists, parents, actors.. as long as they are true inspiration to you and with reason to your art.

The pieces can be posted at your own time, whenever you'd like, but need to be completed by DECEMBER 15th. So there's a bit more of a limit on this one.

Tell me what you think, I think it works better and further stays on a more personal, interesting level.

Rebuttal

I'd like to defend my "honor" here and say that you all broke the first rule of my challenge by posting before the due date. At that point in time, the challenge was null and void, so I did not have to post. HA! Try disputing that logic!!! I DARE YOUUUUU ::falls off chair::

Oh yeah, and I am lazy.

NEW BLOG CHALLENGE

Just wanted to say that everyone's contributions were uber cool (except challenge leader Alex, who forgot her own challenge haha!).. But, now it's time for someone to start a new one, and i thought i'd take initiative. This challenge idea is a little less specific, so enjoy!

CHALLENGE: WOOF!
DUE DATE: DECEMBER 13TH

So for this challenge, I want everyone to take any breed of dog of your choice. (ie. pitbull, shitzu, bulldog, pomeranian,etc). I want you to take the breed of dog and create an AD around that dog. It could be any type of AD, advertising just about anything you can think up. But be clever about the idea, and dont go for too obvious a choice (such as an AD about dog food). I'm leaving this challenge a little more up to the imagination and a little more about the concept. So your stylistic choice is your own, so run with it dawgs (haha, i made a funny)..erm..

So let the challenge begin!!

For Shame

Shame On those of you (Alex) who did not finish the challenge (Alex). For Shame (Alex). :-P

PATCHY-LOCKES

Motion Graphics at SVA

My professor and a handful of volunteers created a 7 minute video as a sort of 'advertisement' for motion graphics here at SVA. This same group awarded me a senior-year scholarship for my work in motion graphics last year. Alas, none of my work is featured in this video :-) NO hard feelings, though.

Give it a watch:
