Happy Birfday!!! :D

Have an awesome Birthday MC!!!
Cheers :)

I would totally buy these :D

For our advertising/graphic design team class we had to redesign a product. Our team chose coffee tumblers. And each team member had to choose a different audience and make their own designs. I chose to do sippy cups/kid tumblers :D Had way too much fun with these designs. I did more sketches but since time ran out I had to choose four designs and turn them in for our final :)

Oh Eris.

So here's how the story goes.

"Zeus was preparing a wedding banquet for Peleus and Thetis and did not want to invite Eris because of Her reputation as a trouble maker. This is known as the Original Snub and made Eris very angry. She then fashioned an apple of pure gold and inscribed upon it "to the Prettiest One". On the day of the Banquet, She rolled the apple in the hall and left to be alone and joyously partake of a hot dog.

The rest of the story is common knowledge: Athena, Hera and Aphrodite each claimed the apple belonged to herself because of the inscription. The banquet turned into a big fight and Zeus decided to calm things down by designing an arbitrator, a shepherd of Troy named Paris.

Each of the three Goddesses tried to bribe Paris. Athena offered him Heroic War Victories, Hera offered him Great Wealth, and Aphrodite offered him the Most Beautiful Woman on Earth. Since Paris was a horny little bastard, he choose Aphrodite as the Prettiest Goddess and he got screwed.

The Most Beautiful Women on Earth happened to be Helen, wife of Menelaus, the King of Sparta. Menelaus got really pissed off when Helen was taken away from him and he declared war on Troy. The Trojan War ensued and lasted for years."

Moral of the story?
Zeus is a poopface for not inviting Eris, and a wuss coz he couldn't settle things himself.
Paris, really? Ya dumb.
And Eris, you go gurl.

This is my initial pencil sketch along with the final cut-paper illustration. I know I didn't make the apple gold, but had to make it red because of the color choices I made. Might make a few more additional touches before I turn in the assignment. But for now, I'm happy with how it turned out :)

Cheers :)

Yes, I paint. Sometimes.

This was for our Illustration Methods class. The topic was 'My Star Wars Day'.

So um yea, that's me rocking out with Jabba.

Oh hey blog.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, been kind of hectic with school work. Finally had time to catch up on food and sleep this weekend :)

This was a poster we had to create for our design for illustration class. Our word catalyst was 'barbaric' so I chose to make a band poster for The Killers.

Here's to another hectic week :)
Cheers!

I got ma thovil on

Another assignment from our Design for Illustration class. This time we had to interpret a cultural motif of our choice. So I chose to illustrate our very own thovil dancing. Was real fun making up the characters. We could only use 5 colors for this. Since it was an open medium assignment, I chose cut paper :D

Adventure

Tis been a hectic week. Homework. Applications. And more homework. I've forgotten what food tastes like.

This was our 2nd assignment for Design for Illustration class. This was a word catalyst assignment too. This time we had to choose a word which was either a thought or a conception. Done in Illustrator, was a fun little assignment.

Chair.

Sophomore year has been hectic so far, only four weeks in to it and I'm already working my butt off on assignments. I'm learning a lot and really enjoying all of the classes. This was our first assignment for our Design for Illustration class. We were given a word as a catalyst and our teacher asked to do something like a spot illustration. We had to incorporate space, volume, contour and vignette in to our design. So I decided on this. I did the background digitally and of course used cut paper for the rest.

Applying for new schools to transfer to by the end of the month so I'll hopefully get a better scholarship from somewhere else and I wont have to quit college. Hopefully. Fingers and toes crossed.

Please pray for me.

Heck I like simple stuff. so sue me.

So a random sketch turned out to be a poster. It's nothing much, but hey i'm still learning. Ace did a gig a while back so this was like an after-gig poster. hehe.

Cheers Ace! :)
