Hello *Echo Echo*
Sorry that it's been so long since I've last written here. I've been extremely busy and only now have a little bit of free time to say what's been going on. Even now, I still am kin dof busy so this post will probably be a little short.
Here are some of the latest digital pieces I've done:
cover art for "Clue" board game
hot sauce label
I also touched up my monkey Business Card and made a letterhead out of it, but I don't think I'll be reposting that. If you buy a painting from me, you'll get an invoice written on the stationery. ;-)
The Clue one needs some work, but I think it was a step in the right direction. The Devil's Drawers piece was recieved really well by my teacher, and it's probably what the Clue piece would look more like if I were to redo it. So far I've been really successful with my cartoony pieces done digitally, but the pieces I've tried to render haven't been all the way there. While I still want to practice developing the ability to fully render a painting in digital media (this is pretty difficult for me), I've recently discovered that I can combine cartoon and a bit of painted rendering for a decent piece, like in the 2nd piece up there.
So enough critique... I'm sure you don't want to read that anyway. What else have I been up to?
Well, catching up on emails for one. I also finished the deal with Showtime, so that has made me really happy (and really able to pay off some bills... oy). The movie is still being worked on in my spare time. I'm currently starting a fantasy painting for Illustration class, and working on a postcard idea for the Ringling admissions poster for my Digital Illustration class. I also need to do a self portrait and two self-directed pieces in my free time.
And now for the best news: Frances came back! No, not the hurricane. The real deal! Fulanshisu visited me this weekend; the perfect vacation I needed after the most stressful week of the year. It was great -- and even better, it was the first weekend of the whole year that didn't fly by in an instant. I hadn't seen her since Japan, so it was really amazing to finally be with her on this side of the planet. We went to Sarasota Jungle Gardens, a few nice restaraunts down here, and watched movies. She also had to study a bit since she has midterms this week. Ahh it was so nice to be able to see her again. Hopefully we'll be able to visit again soon, before the year is up.
Erik's wedding is soon, and I really have to prepare a speech for that. I also have to create a professional website really soon, not just a blog with a link to a shitty html file for hanging bad jpegs of my art.
...Zoinks... looks like I'm actually a lot busier than I thought.
