This is my post card for the Ride for cancer research event.
I wanted the focus to really be on the pink ribbon in contrast to the other elements of the image its a simple image but I think that makes it stronger and I hope you enjoy my take on the event

2010-02-09T09:12:00.000-08:00

This is my entry for the IF topic muddy. It was all done in photoshop. I had a hard time thinking of anything for this topic so I sort of just launched photoshop and went at it and this is what I came out with. Thanks for checking it out

2010-02-03T11:21:00.000-08:00

This is a little bit off the usual topic of my blog but I finished up my cereal ad for my illustration class and wanted to share it with you.

This was the very first step just very rough lines done in photoshop to get the idea for the ad down.

This is my color comp got all my ideas down fast and was ready to start on the final.

and this is the final all done in photoshop and I used photo reference for the unicorn because I suck at drawing magical horses. You may wonder how I had photo reference for a fictional animal .... all I can say is I may have the only proof that unicorns are real.
hope you like the ad and thanks for checking it out.

This weeks illustration friday theme was focus and heavy metal is all about the focus from blast beats to guitar solos its the name of the game. I was listening to some pretty epic metal when thinking up the design and this is what came to mind. Doing this weeks assignment painter died on me before i had saved anything. So I had to improvise. I screen captured what I had before the whole thing crashed then live traced it so i could blow it up to the right size and although its not how I planned, I like how it turned out

2010-01-21T20:23:00.000-08:00

this is my first in a line of weekly themed drawings for illustration friday this weeks theme was wilderness. and if wilderness isn't metal i do not know what is
