He Had Warned Her About the Book...

...Now it was too late!

This piece was made for a Carl Van Allsburg assignment in my Illustrated Book class. My prompt was:

Mr. Linden's Library
He had warned her about the book.
Now it was too late.

I'm thinking of this as a possible cover image for a pretend book and I think it would be nice to try adding some hand lettering but I have not idea what the book should be called. Any ideas?

Yikes! I haven't updated my blog all semester and it's already the end of spring break! I am really enjoying my classes but they're really keeping me busy. Here's some of the stuff I've been working....

It's "Byzantine Burlesque Bandit Bouffant"!

This one is a sequential fashion piece with the prompt "A Night Out." I thought it would be super gosh-golly neat-o to have mine take place in an ice cream parlor!

Below is an illustration for an annual contest called Words on Wheels. Each MICA student is assigned a poem written by a middle school student and is asked to illustrate it. The winning pieces get hung up inside Baltimore City buses. Sadly my piece was not picked but congratulations to the winners!

Modern Day Rapunzel piece for my Illustrated Book class. In my version of the story Rapunzel is a teenage fry cook in a giant hamburger tower.

And here's a little spur-of-the-moment self portrait sketch I did the other day, layered with some marker tests from the ice cream parlor piece from above.

More coming soon!
