Group show

This coming Saturday there will be a group show called Force Fields that I am going to be a part of. All the proceeds go to AGAINST MALARIA to send mosquito nets to fight malaria in Africa. 

Come, support, say hi!

Two dogs are better than one

A doodle I did a couple days ago. More to come!

Hello summer

My last break before I graduate! Didn't get a chance to scan or shoot any of my finals from this past term, but here are some pictures of everything up at the Art Center gallery! I will post better scans when they come down. 

This a the product I came up with, including the brand and marketing. Vitamin chocolate!

Print ad, iphone app, website, packaging.

Top four only

With my sister, who's a fine artist at Art Center as well :)

The drawings in the previous posts are also up but my sister didn't shoot those. Now I'm ready for summer and extremely excited to start my internships!

Away

Long overdue images of the collection I worked on for licensing. The collection consists of four plates, a lampshade, and a fabric panel design. The title of the collection is "Away" and it's about childhood dreams, nostalgia, and flight. These images were taken after they went up in the gallery so the lighting is a bit off.

 

"The Cocoon" by The Decemberists

"Red Right Ankle" by The Decemberists

Drawing comps for two paintings I am working on right now. My interpretations of two songs that I love.

More in class drawings...

In class live model paintings. I never loved figure drawing but loved drawing from a live model. Painting with gouache from a live model is so much fun.

Portrait drawing

My boyfriend and I.

String string string

Nerding out on string. Collage and patterns, tension vs. slack, depth, volume, etc!

Structures

 

Exploring what I attracts me to cat's cradle, bridges, and playgrounds.

The cat's cradle for "Polar bear trap" and "Two polar bears".

The north

I'm taking a class on environmental issues, a depressing but extremely interesting class. I learned that everything we've been doing to the earth has been taking the most toll on the north pole. All the currents in the oceans eventually end up north. They've done nothing but they're the one's dying, it's all so so sad.

Cheers

My favorite things about the holidays!

You and me house

Inspired by the song Treehouse by I'm from Barcelona. Can you spot the initials scratched in the tree?

Bag ladies.

My versions of chic bag ladies. There are my favorite four in my series of ten that I did. They are based off real and imaginary.

Complimentary land

A cover design for Kramers Ergot. Met one of the artists who worked on the series when we visited their bookstore, Family bookstore on N. Fairfax, right across from Canter's Deli. So many cool books in one place, I'm going to go back... when I have money to blow! Ha.

Family photo

 

Painted my version of an old found photo from an antique store. It was so incredibly awkward, all three piled on one chair and everybody was blinking except the dad. I love it! Awkward family photos are the best.

"You can never go home again."

The cul-de-sac where I grew up.

We moved a lot but I remember this place the most. We lived in both the last brown house and the blue/yellow roofed house. My family literally moved a couple houses down, into the court. The colored homes were the homes of my friends'. I remember there was always someone to play with.
