Things are going well at the Illustration Academy! Francis Vallejo and Kenny Callicutt have been chillin' in the studio with us lately, helping out and having fun. I love working in a studio with other artists. It helps to have lots of creative people around motivating and encouraging each other.

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!
