Hello everybody!
For those of you who are my avid readers, you may have noticed that I have not blogged for quite awhile. Kudos to you, shame on me. But there has been quite a lot of work going on here, just not on the Internet for all to see yet. Let me see what we have here . . .
A few more projects for Vis Com II: a promotional poster for the Red Barn Art festival, promotional posters for Native American Heritage Month (which, you may recall, is a repeat even from Illustration last semester *grumble*), an article about stress as the new success for Time magazine, and a vet brochure for MU. In addition, I am reloading the Jazz Combo series poster because, ladies and gentlemen, thanks to my outstanding sources, you will be seeing this bad boy (or gal) up and around campus billboards in the next week or so! My first gig, everyone! Not at ALL excited, nooooo . . . :D
Furthermore, I have included pictures from printmaking. Compy is my first two color woodcut. He didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I really have issues with inking and consistency. BUT, hey, the visual pun has been brought to life! By the way, the pun itself is the dinosaur is a Compsognathus, aka Compy, and he is serving as a jazz piano accompanist, aka Compy. Hahahahahahahaha . . . no? Okay. XD The other print is my first Intaglio, which reminds me vividly of illustration on young adult fantasy novels. I decided to engrave the Thief Lord, Scipio, in his beloved Venice. I love Cornelia Funke, and her books, so I almost wanted to illustrate for her using this print.
Lastly, we have some personal fun. I knitted my first hat within these last few weeks! Could not be more delighted! Also, my girls and I cooked supper tonight. I was in charge of making dessert. In honor of Valentine's Day coming up, I made chocolate covered strawberries in white and semi-dark, drizzled. T'was yummy. Not eating again for quite some time . . . or until I'm hungry from breakfast tomorrow at least. XD
Goodnight all! Peace, love, and fill in the blank with what makes you happy. :D
Cheers!
