Another Watercolor
Another watercolor that I did last quarter. I had been unable to upload it before because it is looonnnggg and I had to scan it in and fiddle with it and yeah. I redid the pink floyd poster I did last year that some have seen, because I really... disliked it haha. I knew I could draw it better, paint it better, get it to look like I saw it in my mind. This one is definitely a lot closer. This painting was also the first time that I successfully used salt on the watercolors (I am inept).
I'm trying to draw influence and inspiration from Alphonse Mucha, one of my favorite artists. This was the finished product for the aging/crackle project for Don Rogers. It is watercolor (obv) with salt, coffee, aging varnish and crackle varnish. Enjoy!

Digital art and linework
The original linework done for Mohammed Danawi's limerick project.
"There once was a girl from Portugal
Whose ideas were excessively nautical
She climbed up a tree
To examine the sea
And decided to never leave Portugal"
Done in pen and ink.
I used the above linework for this project. We were learning how to use layers, color, and apply texture in photoshop. I'm pretty excited about how it turned out.

Acrylic and Paints
A poster for Durwin Talon's Survey of Illustration class. We had to make an Anti-something poster for the 60s. Done in Acrylics.
A double page spread for Vargo's Editorial class. We had to illustrate the article about lying (obviously). Everyone was doing sort of similar projects, so I kind of flipped it so that the boy is telling the truth, but the mom thinks he's lying. Done in Acrylics.
A sample work done for Don Roger's Materials and Techinques 2 class. We were practicing the CF Payne technique of applying watercolors, acrylic washes, an oil wash, and colored pencils in various stages and layers. I really loved this technique, and this painting turned out pretty well for it's small size.
Some Watercolors
An old project I did for my Materials and Techiques class sophomore year. We had to create a book cover; I chose Fight Club as a joke, and came up with a pretty decent solution.
I'm sure I have other watercolor works out there, but these are probably the best.
Blog Creation!
Lol, blog. I figured it was time for me to get a website to post some of my art for, you know, eventually having a career. Hopefully I can figure out this website thing. A little about me-
I'm currently a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design, finishing up my third year. I work primarily in watercolor, ink, and occasionally acrylic and mixed media. I'm still experimenting with styles and techniques so there isn't really a common theme in my artwork yet. Yet. And... yeah, enjoy!
