Batrider

This weekend I had a fair amount of time working at the Gap.

Sunday I worked from 6pm to 3am helping move maternity down a floor and expanding kids. Yesterday I helped with Kid's visuals because the CEO of Gap will be visiting on Friday and we must have everything perfect for his arrival.

Today I am taking time to catch up on my art projects. Which pring me to my Batrider mock-up. I am really excited for this piece. It will be a four color screenprint with an edition of fourty. The ugly brown color in the digital piece will be metallic gold in the final.

I'm thinking the halo might be larger as well to better balance out the top, oh and "at the" is missing from next to "3rd" but like I said, this is just a mock-up.

Georgia on my mind

ink preliminary sketch for Georgia O'Keeffe piece.

The Long Drive - Redneck

"Redneck", I think I missed the type mark. Maybe I need to check out more books on typography because unless I'm handling it personally, type and I argue alot...

Scratching

Wednesday, was spent doing said scratchboard, and cleaning, and going to Halliday's potluck. Then coming home and trying to figure out the text for my redneck image. I have a strong feeling I missed the mark, but I'm allowing myself two out of three going bad, and this is my first time back in the saddle so to speak.

The next assignment I'm more excited about. I have to figure out this whole graphics vs. Illustration thing and once I do, I think I'll be ready to go, but I'm just not as good assembling things on the computer... Perhaps, I shouldn't try...

Tuesday was spent mostly printing after assembling some CC Now orders. The calenders are almost done and you know what that means....typesetting!!!!

LBD, trousers, d'orsay heels and such

Didn't do much yetserday, much to my chagrin.

I redesigned the Hearts of Darkness poster, something that would be easier to screen print. Looking at the other version there would probably be six layers that I'd have to do, and I can't trust the red at Arts INKubator, so it will have to remain a digital print flyer.

Then I went to Barnes and Nobel and read myself through a bunch of fashion books and got some tips on make up. After reading enough fashion, they all say the same thing. Maybe I'll make my own version - condensing everything into a "Tuesday Tips".

Oh, btw, Trillian. I'm hooked on Esquire.

After that I came home and watched more Golden Girls followed by a desire for a redneck break through that I didn't get. Damn eye-catching design!

Hemingway

A poster for non-profit, literacy campain. Part two of author series.

Juried Shows

"The Legendary Hank Williams Jr."

Screenprint - something like 11" x 25"

This print was accepted into both the '09 PNCA BFA Juried show and the Illustration Juried show. I did it last semester as my final project for Intermediate Illustration. Looking back, I'd redo some of the lettering.

Dickinson

A poster for non-profit, literacy campain. This one is for Emily Dickinson. Ideally a screenprint as well.

Bluegrass

Inclass assignment. "Poster capturing the feeling of a type of music or preformance art." Original 6"x4" scratchboard. Tried to silkscreen it last night but the stencils didn't workout. Digital color. Eventually, I will make a print.
