finished book illustration

Ok, finally done! I might have to adjust the colors in PSP because the printer majorly screws up the palette all the time.
I already noticed that my colors changed a little since I converted the file from .ai to .jpeg.

Frustrating.

Nevertheless, I am quite happy with how this turned out.

Stay tuned for my next illustration of one of my favorite DJs Amon Tobin. Here's a little rough sketch of it:

Tiredness

Typographic Investigations class is driving me bananas! In between lettering exercises and .. well.. lettering exercises, I'm ready for my hand to unclentch and uncramp.

Managed to squeeze in a little self-portrait.

Done from my glazed-over reflection in the mirror.

Back to work.

sketches for project

I started thinking about my E-Moticos Project that's due on Friday this afternoon while Bill Deere was talking for forever.

Hm : \

Still gathering ideas. Feel like I should watch Ray Johnson's documentary again.

These are some sketches of banner ideas for the mass weekly e-mail that I will be sending out to people that are based on interesting and weird events happening all over the world. It shall be a weekly illustrated thing.

For lack of better wording..

Still brain-storming.

little sketch to keep my strength up

So I stayed up rlly late last night and had to wake up pretty early for work this morning so I'm in dire need of a nap. I am afraid of screwing up my sleep pattern (it's too early in the semester to be pulling all nighters still, agreed?) so I sketched in Illustrator to keep myself from dozing off. The line work was a bit tricky since I don't have a mouse, just a tiny touch pad with silly buttons. But it kept me up nevertheless.




The sketch is of actor Sam Riley. Pen tool in Illustrator. Reference photo thanks to google.
