LinkHad a lot of fun with this one. Yay for the northern lights! 6 out of 7 finished….







Europe was another difficult one in the way of representing the whole continent, when there are so many cultures and countries. I chose to go with a “British Isles” theme as I figured the landscape and animals would be most recognizable. It’s tough having to simplify, when there are so many cultures I’d like to illustrate.







So this is the Australia set…I heart crocs and kangaroos!







>.< LLAMAS!! Okay so here’s the South America set.







Okay so Asia is obviously a gigantic continent with a lot of different cultures, but I decided to go with primarily Chinese influence..though some of the animals could be indicative of other regions- India, Japan. But I’m pretty happy with the result.





This is the first of 7 sets of themed stationery that I will be designing for my senior thesis. Each of the 7 will be representative of the seven continents and this is the representation for Africa. I will obviously have to simplify quite a bit in some cases to try and recognizably represent a whole continent. Each set will include letter writing paper, envelope, postcard and sticker designs. I intend to send out the actual product to missionaries that can write back to me on them about what God is doing in their part of the world. I think it will be really neat to show the stationery really being used and going through international mail, etc. Exciting!

This is a sticker design I did for a freelance job. It’s really just a grassroots campaign for shopping downtown. The 5 districts are represented: Main Street, Palm Ave, Burns Court, the Rosemary District, and Towles Court. I did do the typography layout too, though I realize as I’m not a trained graphic designer I may very well be doing some atrocious thing that breaks the rules. But the client is happy with the piece and you can see the sticker on many windows around town!




This is the second piece I had wanted to do for the sci/fi fantasy acrylic project in advanced media…but I did it as an open assignment in Ill. I also decided to post the thumbnail page I did for the various ideas for the acrylic project…I would really like to do many of them. You’ll see the rabbit thumb in there… Oh and just the line drawing and studies for the tree piece.


Fiore’s assigment -3 random picks from envelopes. I got Santa Claus, Submarine, 1774. I went with the fact that in 1774 Louis the XVI was crowned King, and I could therefore get Marie Antoinette in the picture=much more fun. I also loved the history of Versailles and the fountains in the garden…how they got all that plumbing to work with just gravity. So I put an early classic interpretation of Santa under ground in his early submarine design, and he is putting the couple on the Naughty List. This piece is pretty large, oil on board. It looks a little warped because I had a very difficult time getting my camera/the board to photograph straight. Perhaps I’ll come across a really large scanner one day…



Brandes has asked us to do a sci-fi or fantasy piece for our acrylic assignment in media and I decided to use a doodle from my sketchbook and run with it. You know, something random like a girl with bright pink hair feeding watermelon to rabbits. I like it!
