Finished!

So I kind of obsessed over this one, and I am SO happy with it.


I also wanted to mention the point of this project, which was a reflection on myself as an artist. I twisted and turned my brain in all different directions until I realized the answer was right in front of me: My artwork is a saturated representation of a place or personality, with retro-vintage color schemes. Right now at least.

Kitchen

Have been watching the Godfather and doing this project for days now, still not done, but I am loving it:


Needs to be lightened and I need to change the color of the stove to something a little more yellow/green. It's much too gray for me now, but that seems to be a bad habit I've acquired with digital painting.

Happy finals week to all my RIT friends!

Website, walk-though, etc.

Graphiti Monster and Some Paisley!

Finally finished this! So happy with the results!



Also, found these old swatches of fabric laying around. They were my grandmothers. Not quite sure why she had them, they're far too colorful for her, but then again she had a LOT of fabric. Going to use them for the buttons on my website! Check 'em out:




Going to have a busy week!!

How do you feel about this?

Outline? Yay? Nay? Should I paint it myself rather than use a stroke?

Reduces down nicely!! (reduced version may not have my name on it, definitely won't have "illustration" and "caricatures & portraiture").


Maybe this should be the logo on my portfolio... Need to make that decision ASAP.

Website Progress.

Little bit more to go... thinking about scanning in some fabric to use for the menu on the regular pages.
