My Drawing of the Day

Recently I've been slightly obsessing over leaves, stealing them from any tree I found interesting and bringing them home to study. I was inspired by the deep purple and green combination on this one tree (I don't know the name of it) that I kept seeing. Unfortunately when I got home and put the leaf on my light table I realized I had picked an all green one. Nonetheless I started to do little color sketches and line drawings. Just about everything that inspires me evolves into a garment interpretation.

 I started this a week or two ago, unfortunately I got busy with work and left it unfinished. Finally, I got tired of looking at a pitiful water color. I thought that I would just finish it with an ink outline but of course it evolved into mixed media, and finally a digital painting. I skipped a few steps in the documentation process, but you get the picture.  I'm pretty satisfied with it, hope you enjoy too. Leave comments, questions. Thanks!

No purple but I like the hint of brown

The leaf I picked was green but I was inspired by the other leaves w/ more of a gradation 

Added a color pencil outline, Before BG detail

Digital painting: Played with the contrast and texture a bit in PS

              Until next time,

Being at home in my new studio in between work and decorating I've managed to find time to sketch a few things here and there. What is my inspiration you ask? My Tombow brush tip markers. No literally, every time I glance over at my markers I just imagine the feeling of them against paper and tons of silhouettes pop into my mind. This is my first complete illustration since I graduated in May. I missed drawing, but now I have time to do it, more images coming soon. 

In honor of the infamous #tbt I figured I'd also post a very fitting throwback of an old piece I made back in school that came to mind once this drawing was done.

New Home NEW STUDIO!

My new Creative HUB!

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted. Lots of great things have

been happening for me. I moved into a new place, started a new job, but best

of all I finally started the process of setting up my new home studio. It's obviously

under major construction, but give me a few weeks and you will be introduced to

a fabulous transformation. In the mean time check out some of my snapshots I took of

my new pride and joy. 

Old art from school

messy I know

I'm so excited about my NEW SPACE!

Okay, so look forward to my new up and coming post. I'm still in

major transition mode but feel free to leave me comments and I will

respond asap. Thanks guys. xoxo

Time is winding down!

Hey guys! I've been so busy and neglecting to post lately. We set up for our show in about a week and a half so I've been doing some major running around. Anyway's here are some updates on my thesis work, as well as some pieces I've worked on along the way. Enjoy, please leave comments and feedback!

I haven't decided if this piece will be in the show or not. I received tons of positive feedback from my studio-mates and will continue working on the piece. I love celebrating color and enjoyed working with this spectrum.

Orange is the new ORANGE!
