Coming Soon!

I've got some hunky dory stuff planned for this quarter, beyond my usual classwork. I'll be having my first stab at the CMYK Magazine competition (www.cmykmag.com) by entering the Roots campaign, Eggs!, book covers, and maybe that dragon illustration for good measure. Regarding Roots, I'll probably limit the entry to just the bath products and log. CMYK only allows one photograph per entry, and the bath set stands alone strong on its own, whereas everything else is either vague, or not strong enough by itself.
I also got wind of the Print magazine cover competition, which I see no reason to stab at as well, being that it's free. So, hopefully, I get a lot of murdering done.
Other goofy side projects include Myspace background and icon illustrations for a friend's band, Solar Fever (post rock goodness), a chess set, and a poster for a pig roast me and my roommate / best friend aspire to start.
This fifth quarter had a rough start, but all the gears are turning now. I'm taking Copywriter / Designer teams, Advanced Trademarks, Photoshop 2, and Publications.
Word.

Art Intermission

Here's some art that I did before attending the Creative Circus.

A dragon, a wizard, and a tree nook I would love to have.


A random demon. The dismembered arms were going to serve like wing bones, or whatever you call them. Anyway, I'm awesome and left my sketch pad on the top of my car and drove off....


This was the beginning of a poster I was going to try to present to the band Mastodon.


At one point, me and a friend were working on a video game called Nara: The Third Tower. This was a sketch of the lead characters in the game. Goofy.

Previousness

I got ahold of some of the shots from the student award show. Two bird bonus, as I don't have to take pictures, and these look purty.

The first is a language book series I did for Type 3.


The second book cover is a redesign for Masters of Doom, an autobiography of the makers of the video game, "Doom". You should read it. Also, you can't see it in the picture, but the book is made from two different papers, with the red part being matte and the white glossy.


This is a poster for the Japanese equestrian festival, Soma Nomaoi.


These pieces were for Illustration for Design greeting cards. Once I get my mitts on the actual cards, I'll post them and explain the concept, but for now, this is just the artwork that went inside.
