Animated Gif- Sailor Shannon.

 

My good friend/fellow illustrator Shannon May requested a Sailor Moon portrait gif based off of my self portrait edit, and I couldn't help but oblige!

Ghostface.

Quick warm up doodle of my friend (and fellow illustrator) Julianna Brion's super cute cat, Ghostface!

Animated Gif- Self Portrait.

Did a new self portrait since I just got a haircut! For fun I took it and gave it a little Sailor Moon inspired editing. Figured it was a good opportunity to teach myself new things to do with gifs!

CMYK Gallery.

CMYK magazine's newest venture, the CMYK Gallery, has finally opened! This shop features up and coming artists selected from entries to their magazine competitions- you can purchase prints of my "Urban Nature" piece through them! Make sure to check it out!

Society of Illustrators Student Competition.

I am incredibly pleased to announce that my "London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Poster" has been selected to be in the Society of Illustrators student exhibition! I am very honored to be featured alongside so many talented friends and colleagues!

Sailor Moon Art Zine Kickstarter.

So you probably remember this piece I made for the Sailor Moon art zine "Moon Power" in October! Well, the Kickstarter to produce the zine was launched this past Saturday (March 16th) and managed to surpass its goal of $5,000 in less than 24 hours! If you can, please help support the production of this awesome illustration collection! You can check out the campaign and the pledge rates/rewards here! 

The Kickstarter has been paused due to an intellectual property dispute. I will update this post with any news regarding any change in status.

Unfortunately, the Moon Power Kickstarter had to be cancelled due to an intellectual property dispute. You can still help support the production of the zine by buying a sticker set/digital zine/pre-ordering, or you can donate- see the blog for a Paypal link!

More bad news- the online donations/orders/pre-orders had to be shut down as well. The printed zine will still debut at TCAF, but I am not sure how any further distribution past that will be allowed. I will continue to update this post with any news regarding the zine.

Dinosaurs.

I've always been a huge fan of dinosaurs (I even planned on being a paleontologist at one point in my life). They are incredibly fascinating to me, and I had been meaning to draw some for a while. So when I found out I was accepted into the Light Grey Art Lab's newest show, Beautiful Forever, I knew exactly what I wanted to make temporary tattoos of. The dinosaurs featured are the Parasaurolophus and the Tyrannosaurus, two incredibly cool creatures (and some of my favorites)!

You can see the online gallery of all of the awesome illustrations featured in this show here, and if you are like me and can't make it to the opening, don't worry! These temporary tattoos can be purchased online here! If you buy mine, I'd love to have a photo of you sporting your prehistoric tats- send links/photos to kristenacampora@gmail.com!
