obscurity

I'm writing this post and it's 6:15 am , printing out 20 draft ticket designs. While I wait, here are two paintings from my class. Everything is acrylic and large. I've never painted so big before, 3x4 feet and 2x3 feet respectively. It was really fun carting them around on the bus.

Oh look, some actual art. Sketches all fancied up in photoshop. Now, if you can't guess which two artists work I've just spent all day looking at then....well that doesn't matter, but it's pretty obvious.

I have my tentative selections for my final 3 posters. For the project each is supposed to represent the festival representationally, abstractly and symbolically. We also have to make corresponding tickets for each of them, but I've only gotten one started so far...
I did end up going with the poster from before, the blurry eye becuase my prof and my classmates insisted that it was the best one ahdkajsh. I spent a max of 5 minutes putting it together, it feels so cheap haha (I do like it though).


( more posters... )

have some stuff and some blatantly ripped off da vinci sketches

( sketches )

Posters for a campaign thing... for my communication design class. We have to do three posters, tickets and booklet for a festival. The festival I chose is called rendezvous with madness, and since it's in Canada I have to make it bilingual (gross). It's a film festival and the films all deal with mental illness and addiction. These are kind of rough...concepts, lots of refinement needed. I'm partial to the blurry eye one.

ugh i keep procrastinating...I really don't want to do a presentation on nutrition and child poverty. I hate when profs make you do design projects on global issues.

Small art post, some oekaki stuff, that I think half the people on my friends list has seen...and then a few posters for a school project. Also:
(taken from kimatron!)

Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence and these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

"The best space is invisible." Thinking in Type

What did you expect, an actual novel. The closest book I actually had was called Hand Job and on page 56 there was just a nice poster, so I went with the second closest book. My dad is always making fun of me for this haha, I bought a magazine called CMYK and it features students and professionals work that has been selected (sort of like a contest...then your stuff gets published in the magazine) ANYWAY, he's just like...wow, you're such a geek, and he's right.

Oh right, stuff to show you guys


First concept for a poster promoting my typeface, the type is called Papercut, it's pointy. ha-ha.

Uhh sketch dump, almost all of them are sketchbook things (some with photoshop colour), I've been forcing myself to actually draw traditionally lately... -and I want to find some good character meme things to fill out.

I really want my summer course to start! Typeface design yeah! Other then that, I'm extremely bored so, if you're somewhat bored also, ask me any question about/to my characters OR ask me... anything, I'll try and give you my best answer??

I wish I had a scanner that worked, mines blurs the edges of everything, so I use my camera and stuff looks weird because they all end up being taken at slight angles. Here's some sketches and one poster design. I'm sorry some of these are Phoenix Wright crap, I just finished playing the third one and Apollo whatever.

I said in the last one I wouldn't do another meme. Well I LIED. Here is one for 3.
( meme- not again )</div>
You know what, everyone probably knew more then half this stuff before. OHWELL. I have some art to show today, it's relevant to this meme.
( pictures! )

I stole this from souvaris. I'm doing this because it makes it seem like I'm doing something worthy of my time, when really I just don't want to study for my exam or read textbook chapters for my correspondence course. Anyway meme about 4:

I wanted to add a cool picture of him but I realized I have nothing recent....Okay I should really study.</div>

( An annoying post about my life )

Anyway, I had to get that all out, it's been a pretty uh- interesting week. Happy Earth Day? I wanted to plant a garden this weekend but it'll have to wait, how was your week?

I Have NO art to show, I apologize :(

Yeah! Got my paypal... I want to do commissions but I don't know what I'd offer.. busts, full body, both? something..else. Or how much I would charge, or more importantly if anyone would be interested. I'd like to know what people would want to pay for, becuase I believe I have quite a few "styles/genres" that I draw in, and I dunno what people would expect from me. I should probably ask on dA also

I haven't had anytime for art the past couple of weeks, a few of my classes are nearing the end so all our final projects are due. So...what I have today is some old stuff! I'm pretty sure I've never posted these before.
( old things )

CSS and HTML coding is like being in math class again. Where I didn't know the answer and had to play around with stuff until it worked, meaning extremely annoying and frustrating. HOWEVER, when I do finally get the stuff figured out it's like a light shines down from the heavens onto my computer screen because i FINALLY got it. Then within the next minute something else isn't working.

So the point of that was, to show you this horrible looking meme I did, i stole it from Azurice. I needed a break from coding this is the result.

Also, a finished project for class. It's a type specimen, just 2 of the spreads and the cover becuase the others are boring and not as interesting to look at.
( type specimen )

Design stuff today, the collages are from last year and I just really like them. I should collage more..but it requires extra labour on my part. The other is a poster for an imaginary event for class. The actual size of the poster is 18x24 inches. I should take some of those cool photos were you hold up your work and take a picture...yeah. I'll eventually write something interesting, but for now images-

( ONWARDS )

This blog will be for traditional sketches, things that don't appear on my devART and my design work (mainly from school) and on the odd occasion an actual blog. Today it's some old and new sketches, yeah yeah.
