CROWN

Recently did a T-Shirt design for local Cincinnati band CROWN. 

Initial concept:

After printing a larger copy of the concept and doing a very light lightbox trace, WATERCOLORING commences.  Obviously, my work area is very high-tech and fancy.  Warm Colors first:

 Cool colors second:

And the final ink last.

One other concept created in preparation for this design may be used for a future project for this band.  Wait and see.  :)

It's true.

Coloring Book

Doing a series of coloring book illustrations for a friend! Here is a first look:


And, the final lineart.


Because, there is nothing cuter than little kids checking out picture books from the library. And let's face it, most daddies are shaped that way. :)

Happy April 1st. I hope you are not made victim of mischief.

An Unfortunate Development

So it turns out, working full-time with a two hour commute, packing and cleaning up junk in preparation for a move, planning a wedding, probable minor surgery, and taking freelance and babysitting jobs for extra dollars do not bode well for extracurricular drawing. We can see very clearly Blanche's reaction to this development:


You've probably already noticed this, what with the increasingly infrequent posts. This is still my favorite place to post my work, but even taking the time to get things scanned and writing something is .... eh. My priorities are pretty scrambled at the moment, and probably will not settle again until after the big day at the end of May.

I've got a few things planned which I will schedule to post when I can. Until then, reader, thank you so much for your patience!!!

Storms

Spent some time in the basement of the office yesterday, with the tornado warnings. Saw a bit of the damage on TV today... So horrible. If you want to help some of the people affected, here are a couple ways to do so.

Drew this while I was stuck down in the basement - characters for a hopefully upcoming story, three siblings. Added a splash of color today. They look a bit too old, but hey; first time they've been put to paper (outside of the script).



Also, working on the program for the Savannah International Animation Festival!!! And hopefully I'll get to go, too. :D

Gifts

Evidently there's going to be a bridal shower.

Check out this guy's photography... gorgeous :)

Sorry for two posts in one day - some quick design work for the Northern Cincinnati Youth Orchestra. :)
