Practical Accidents

Here are two pieces for my Narrative Color class. The first one is for a primary color scheme assignment with the prompt "Practical Jokes."

The second is for a warm & cool assignment with the prompt "Accident Waiting to Happen"

The idea being that for some people thinking is an accident waiting to happen.

The outfit on the girl in the middle is Marc Jacobs and the girl on the bottom left is in an Anna Sui dress. The rest is of my own invention.

I know lightbulbs are a cliché but I figured at least some of these are energy efficient.

Vice and Virtue

Last assignment for Lifestyles, a diptych showing the vice avaritas (avarice) and its corresponding virtue, charitas (charity).

Alice in Wonderland

Lifestyles illustration in celebration of the new Burton film (without all the weird CGI grunge). Alice's dress is by Marchesa and the Red Queen is in Rodarte. I plan on touching this up sometime soon so if you have any ideas for things I should add or change, please let me know!

More Ice Creamz, Pleaze

I forgot to include this back when I posted my Ice Cream Social "night out" comic. Just a little test piece to see how I was going to color things.

Catching Up

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....

For my Illustrated Book class I had to come up with an alliterative sentence and illustrate it. Can you guess what it is?

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!
