some computer stuff

i've been playing with illustrator a lot lately trying to bring what sketches i do that i actually like, to life.  They are very basic, but i love what my sketches look like finished.  I feel that i'm developing a style and working with that style, the images i see come out with a very graphic look.  Plus, the process is very quick and simple thanks to Jordan! 

The creature and the boy picture was made for an illustration book.  The entry was "the thing that ate stuff"

The dog was drawn for Melissa's class room.  Its Bella!

Octo-Pie!  Randi, this one's for you!

This one i did specifically to be a desktop background for my computer.  I like making weird but simple creatures.  This one reminded me of that monster from Ben Ten.  I like kid shows...so sue me.

These two are just random sketches i did in my sketch book.  The first i saw in some squiggles i drew in my sketch book and then finalized.  Jordan inspired the second one because he loves drawing animals doing not so cute things.

caricatures part2

 One of my better park sketches towards the end of the season.

These next sketches are from my travels at Fairs and Festivals

This one is from Perry, Georgia

These two are from a Greek Festival in Miami. I've grown so much!

Caricatures at Hershey Pt 1

Here are some of my sketches from the park.  

This child took about 10 minutes to decide what he wanted to be as a body.  This is how i decided to put them all together.  If it were up to him, he would have been surrounded  by ALL his favorite animals also.

Here's just a few sketches i like, but i accidentally deleted their faces so you'll just have to take my word for it that the likenesses were amazing!

Just some fun sketches.

This next sketch is one of my favorites. Not because of the sketch itself, but just the fact that the original was destroyed at the hands of a pretentious New York Mom who was mad that i didn't let her take a picture of the sketch (it was a demo they weren't going to buy) and that i would not "Give it" to her because it had her daughter's likeness.  Last laugh for me cuz here's a picture of her daughter and the sketch for all of the internet to see!

The thing that ate Stuff

did this sketch for Matt Sullivan's project.  colored it in Illustrator all by myself!

Dorney Sketches

Here are some sketches i liked from this season.  I'll put more up soon but here's a taste of the work i've been doing.

 This sketch was done very early in the season.  I like it cuz at the time i was pushing a bit further than i was comfortable but i think it turned out very well.

 Just two adorable kids!

Two black and white sketches i really liked!

Finished paintings

Here are some paintings that i finished recently.

This painting was done for my Aunt Lisa.

I was asked by Pastor Larry of Grace United Methodist of Pen Argyl to create banners for the Pentecostal Season.  Of course i may have taken the project a bit further than expected but i think the results speak for themselves. The paintings were done in Oil and stand at 7.5 feet tall and 4 feet wide.

I don't have any better pictures of the finished pieces as of yet, but i will be taking them soon.
