These are some pictures of my friend Jeremy that I took for my photo class in the style of Anna Blume.
Started doing a figure painting in Illustration, we're learning the way of the "Old Masters". Basically you draw the figure or whatever your painting is of in detail and shade it, then apply a grey or burnt sienna wash, then paint in the highlights white, and then you paint however you normally do.
This is what it looks like with the first three steps done:

(my homework assignment was to illustrate something using our hand, so I took the paper with the homework on it and crumpled it)
Went a little crazy with the logo, but I'm really hoping to get featured on Design 21. I experimented with the blob a little and eventually incorporated the sky into it. After that I added some different colors that they could use:
I've had my logo done for the America's Greatest Heart Run and Walk for about a week now, I just haven't gotten around to uploading it on here because I've had it saved on a computer in the Comm D lab. Anyways, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
I had some time to kill before the Halloween festivities tonight so I whipped up a painting i had been thinking about for a while. Not sure what to call it yet. It's 24x36" acrylic on canvas.
Felt like working on something last night because I had some time to kill. Ended up doing a mixed media piece on the back of a shipping envelope. I did a similar piece based on a section of that piece afterwards on grid paper. I think I just had too much coffee or something yesterday haha.
I've been working on a logo for a contest on Design21.com. The contest is for a new logo for UNESCO's DREAM Center. The requirements are basically to create a logo that has the word dream in all caps and the word center. DREAM stands for: dance, read, express, art, and music. I've gone thru a bunch of designs and so far this is my fav:
I also found a cute picture on Creative Commons and photoshopped the design on a little kids shirt like it was an ad:
haven't had too much to post until recently. midterms were last week so i got a crap load of stuff done. still figuring out how to post illustrator and indesign stuff on here, but for now i've got my poster design for school's halloween party and some self portrait studies of me crying for my methods and media class. normally i wouldn't really want to put up unflattering pictures of myself crying but i was really happy with how they turned out, and i was totally acting so it's not so bad. the poster was a project for my design procedures class. we were supposed to make a 10x14 poster that had some sort of pattern to it. the pattern could basically be anything as long as there was a halloween theme and it was repeated somewhere. i went the creepy fog route.

I had to shoot a roll of film for class today and took some pictures of two of my friends with spoons at lunch for a few of my shots. I ended up using the little pictures from my practice contact sheet to make a little comic. The comic is basically Taylor and Wes having a spoonfight. Wes starts it and then gets easily defeated by Taylor.
The other day my friend was making a box out of a large book and had all of the cut pages in a stack on his desk. It gave me an idea so I asked if I could have them. I then went to my room and glued some pages to some bristol and then referred to my sketchbook for some ideas. The process:

So I'm pretty excited, going to see Sagmeister talk on Monday at RIT. He proposed a challenge to them (http://cias.rit.edu/sagmeister/) to touch people's hearts with design. I'm going with all the CommD kids from MWP, and even though we're not from RIT we decided we do the challenge too. These are a few pics of what I came up with for a design:
Went to walmart last night with some friends to sketch the people there. It was kinda hard not to look like a total creeper, but I ended up getting some nice gesture drawings. I had a couple pages worth but this one was my favorite:
on another note, today I was working on a roll of film for my communications imaging class and came up with this scary dude:
I used a doodle and a projector. I'm thinking this technique might be a cool series.
I realized today that I hadn't posted anything since I got back to Pratt. It's been a busy two weeks, but I do have stuff to show for it. I've hung out at the Tram (coffehouse in Utica) a decent amount since I've been back. Most of my favorite sketches and stuff come from hanging out there at night. These are some of my recent ones:
