illustration academy, project 1

And we're back to the good ol' shape assignment! This is very hard to do. All shape, no line, limited values within objects (about 30% difference). Very tough, but I learned a lot from it!




Things are going well here in Kansas City! Being with Gary Kelley and Mark English, John English, George Pratt, and Brent Watkinson is mind blowing! I can't wait to get started on the new assignment. Hope everyone is having a good summer. :)

collaboration and coffee

Friend and designer, Emily Oswald, had a bunch of us contribute designs for coffee sleeves. Her project is tatoo themed, so I did the sleeve below. It was a lot of fun!
