quickdraw!

Here is a piece from 2011, it was a project where I had to draw pieces of paper from a hat and the words I got were: "cowboy", "food", and "comical". I had so much fun drawing and sketching all sorts of different cowboys :). 

In terms of technique, I was trying out an acrylic technique where the paint is applied in very thin washes and dry brushing. I liked the result a lot since it kind of has a pastel quality.

Children's Mural

So for a while, as you can tell, I was drawing bunnies quite a bit. This picture was made for a competition to decorate the walls of a children's hospital here in Savannah. My idea was just to draw something cheery. I wanted to focus on "healthy" living, so exercise and eating veggies! I also wanted for children who were to look at this to notice the shapes and the numbers of shapes in the image so they would be engaged with the image for a while.

Coasters and Salad Bar

Hello! So here are some of the projects I developed in my Drawing for Illustrators class with Megan Berkheiser. The first 6 images are from a series of squared coasters, front and back respectively. The last image was for a project were I had to illustrate a World Record, so I chose the World's Longest Salad Bar.

greeting cards

Hey there! so these are the rest of the greeting cards I designed. My idea behind them was "opening conversation". So I thought about shy animals, or animals who hide to portray this idea.

after a long break

It's been so long since I last updated my blog, I feel real bad about that. Anyways, here is one of the greeting card designs I did for a class last quarter. I designed 4 of them with animals (an ostrich, limpet, snail and armadillo) but here is the armadillo. <3
