Art Art I want you Video

This is a video a cousin actually found from her friends blog and asked me to look at! :) I thought it was very interesting and I want to use the style in my animatic for motion design :) Take a look, it's really neat?

More Fetal Alcohol poster drafts!


I am secretly hoping this is the final poster for this particular idea. I doubt this is true, but hopefully!



This poster needs some revising but this is what I have so far! I would have liked to of printed onto a recycled paper bag material but since the poster is so large I am just going to show you what that might look like by cropping similiar paper in :) I am not sure how I feel about the D being a part of the liquid and how well the type reads but I will work on it :)




This is my newest poster idea...I got my sister to pose for me :) This poster is aimed to appeal towards a younger generation (high school and college). I used the text abbreviation "B4" as opposed to "before". I am going to keep trying this idea out. My current thoughts are that the bottom line is hard to read...and is it necessary? Also, I want to try a different treatment because I think the shattered glass is hard to see. Lastly, I think I want to take another picture where my model's pants are dropping to her ankles.

North Carolina State Fair Rain Barrel

This is the barrel I painted for the Rain Conservancy Program of Raleigh for the North Carolina State Fair. This was a really great opportunity for me to give back to my community. The barrel along with others were auctioned off and the proceeds were donated to the Conservancy Program of Raleigh. I had a good time painting this barrel...it was my first time painting so forgive me if it's not perfect! My barrel sold for the most money at $150. The barrel has a filter on the top and traps rain water when it rains so you can water your plants or whatever you want by hooking your hose up to the spiket at the bottom. But, I am looking forward to doing this again next year!

5 Gesture Illustrations

Imaging:

In imagining we were assigned the 5 gestures project. We had to start by doing 40 sketches of any object of our choice. I chose a MAC eyeshadow and I don't have a tablet so I had to draw all of these with a mouse. This was a neat assignment, I was able to become more familiar with the Illustrator tools and brushes.

Tutorial's

This is a Modern Art tutorial I did...I am obsessed with this look. I love the way you can create a hand-drawn effect in photoshop. This will save me much time in the future by not having to hand-draw everything :) Here is the link: http://freeonlineclasses.net/photoshop-tutorials/photo-effects/modern-art/page4.html



Here is the link
This was my first time making my own brushes and it was a lot easier than it looks! I think it has a neat wire-like effect and is a nice combination of masculine and feminine. I love it :)
