Tweens

Once again my blogger schedule has been pushed by the ever so mysterious universe. On the plus side I managed to get a interview with a amazing company that designs children and tween clothing, accessories and packaging. It's temporary but in house experience and I would still be drawing. With design jobs usually ones that balance on the edge of textile or fashion require mini projects as part of the interview. So I had a day and a half to make a pouch pattern, BBF necklace and package design. I probably had too much fun with it but at least I have more work I love regardless of what their decision is.

Autumn Post Card (Part 1)

I've been so terrible with my blogging schedule this month! Im so ashamed...but you know, at least i'm back now and moving on with the next series. One thing I would love to get into the habit of is sending out post cards every few months. I really dislike re-sending a design too.

So for autumns Illustration I created a cat bothering some portraits full of agitated monsters. For now I have the sketch. Obviously its taking way longer then thought especially since each portrait will be collaged separately and added later digitally. Im also forcing myself to sketch everything first. And on atrocious paper so theres no room for hours of erasing. Its proving to be incredibly helpful. The bottom illustration was a practice to get back into the groove of watercolor. Then I later tried designing it to fit the back of my business card. The type was a nightmare. Blah I say! Blah! Not sure what will become of that. Who knows.

Autumn

Happy Autumn! Im more then excited to say that summer is over. This is my absolutely favorite time of year and with it comes new art. Next week will be my seasonal post card and for today I have a series of new earrings to get into the fall mood. I will also be having double posts from now on. I will still be posting every tuesday but at random i will be putting sketch's up on my blog for illustration Friday. Its to help me gain confidence in my drawing skills even if its currently terrible.

Lush

Since its been far too long since ive shown some actual art work I will be posting twice a week when I can. I'll still have my tuesday posts to catch up on whats new but I will have random posts for Illustration Friday. No finished work, just sketch's. All done on cheap paper so I can get over my fear of not having everything perfect. Oh and Lush is this weeks word!
