Paper Doll Group 9.

More Lifestyles dolls- this time everyone's rocking pastels! You can see their outfits here, here, and here.

Business Cards/Postcard Designs.

Just sent these out to get printed today from Overnight Prints- fingers crossed they print well!
I have too much to do and too little time to do it... Let's hope the next few weeks aren't *too* terrible to me, but it's not looking very promising! Finals are no fun.

Trotting Horse.

Quick silhouette I did tonight to try to de-stress before classes start this week.... Maybe it will be incorporated into a pattern in the future.

Senior year is really tough.

Right to Remain Silent.

Another thesis piece- this is a spot for the This American Life episode "Right to Remain Silent" which deals with people who have the right to remain silent but choose not to exercise that right, and face adversity/controversy when they do so. I wanted to do a more serious editorial to switch things up a bit and do a black and white piece since I haven't done one since first semester Junior year. Conceptualizing this was a very interesting process and I'm pretty happy with what I produced.

This week's dolls for Lifestyles are all dressed to go on a classy date! You can find their clothes here, here, and here.

Stay tuned for more updates in the next few days- there will be plenty more!

Accessory Interaction.

Here's some new Lifestyles work... the assignment was to take print ads of a designer fashion product from magazines and incorporate them (collage style) into a one and two page spread illustration that is fantasy based. I found ads for the Bulova Precisionist watch, a Vhernier ring, and a handful of Ralph Lauren rings and incorporated them into an underwater exploration set of pieces where my lovely ladies (wearing a Spring 2010 Maurizio Pecoraro bathing suit and a Spring 2009 Jasmine Di Milo bathing suit respectively) interact with the objects. It was a very new experience as I had never done a photo collage in this sort of way before but I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. Spent way too much time on them, though!

New dolls! Our heroes are now donning some sharp duds for the first day of school! You can find their clothes here, here, and here!

There's plenty more work to be thrown up on here from my classes, my portfolio website is in the process of being designed *and* I'll be posting a virtual tour of sorts of my studio space, aka my second home here in Baltimore, on the blog. Keep your eyes peeled!

More paper dolls for Lifestyles- this time my guys are ready for a snowy day in honor of the freakishly early snow that came to a lot of the upper east coast a week ago! You can see their clothes here, here, and here!

Adventure!

Time for another thesis piece! This is an editorial for the This American Life episode "Adventure!". It dealt with broadly different stories about adventure, and I ended up focusing on the notion on space exploration. I fooled around with inking and ink wash mixed with graphite and I'm liking the direction it is going.

I've been crazy busy and I can't believe how stressful this semester has been, but I'm trying to keep my chin up and push through! I'm trying to get the absolute most out of my final year here at MICA.
