Cold Hard Cache

I was lucky enough to get a scanner as a graduation gift and have finally been able to make images of my art and doodling (images?). I went through my past illustrations and things that I've created in the past six years or so, being a little picky but not exceptionally picky. Anyways, check out this giant backlog of my work!

Here is what I did for my senior project in high school. Circa 2005. Watercolor and ink on cold press watercolor paper.








And two linework pieces. Ink on bristol board.

2008


2009


Two CD jackets that I illustrated for a friend (these are not, in any way, the official jackets for these albums, they are my own creation). Both are ink on bristol board.

2010



And these are a portion of the illustrations I've been working on lately. I was told my computer comes with a particular photo stitching software which it does: for PC. And I don't know anyone who owns a PC, let alone myself. I didn't realize this was conditional. Anyways, I'm trying to rectify this situation because I can't just have partially recorded and archived images.

Computers are still a learning process. I feel similarly about computers as I do sports: Some people are really good at them, I am not. So these things take some time to work out the kinks. At any rate, this is a start.

Illustrations

I have finally had some time on my hands to work on illustrating, something I've been wanting to do since I graduated high school. And after years of 3-d art making I have finally come back to where I've always wanted to be: graphic illustrations.

These are two pages I've done wherein I've been trying to figure out how to ink properly, testing layouts and telling a story in the most basic way.

I'm going to keep working on more test pages and eventually I will repost with scanned images instead of photographed images. I've been simply ecstatic to be learning so much just from trial and error.
