Op-Ed

Little 2x2.5 inch op-ed piece to go with article on bullying.

 Made on Illustrator a few projects ago.

Jane Eyre

 

Jane Eyre book cover sketches. Various versions of silly poutiness. 

I was going for a pale gothic/vampire feel. Or something.

All you need is love.

Early sketch for The Beatles assignment.

Character Sketch

Little character sketches.

Fish!

Time to kill- drew some fishies.

Buy Nothing Day Sketch

This was my first sketch for my But Nothing Day poster. 

Quite like it in black and white actually!

Zine!

Our last Sequential Narrative class project was to create a little no-staple zine. It folds up into a book, with a poster on the other side when you open it out. So the first page is actually one in from the left, if you see what I mean! I went for drawing my favourite: a stormy sea! The idea is that we can use them to promote ourselves, so that's why there's a blog address on the back. 

I think it turned out quite nicely! 

Final zine with first rough on the left.

On the Road

Need to make type for "On the Road" clearer, and should have hand drawn road dashes... but apart from that I'm pretty happy with the result of my Jack Kerouac book cover. I did the thing where you've been looking at something for far too long so you can't even see the flaws in it, which become oh so obvious during the crit! I printed it out on water colour paper which looked pretty nice. I was going for a screen printed sort of look, with the offset colour layers. Wish I could have actually screen printed it, but this has turned out to be a really good way of planning an image using layers, which could definitely be useful for future print making :)

Buy Nothing Day!

This is my poster for International Buy Nothing Day, which is happening on the 26th November in Canada... and presumably other countries internationally. The idea is that she can fly higher and higher by dropping the bags from her hot air balloon. A sort of metaphor for freeing yourself from spending and consumerism, which can really weigh you down. Medium-ly pleased with it. I'll scan my sketch for it in soon because I think I still like that more! Plus it's nice seeing the whole process. I have the crit for this tomorrow in Illustrative Activism so we shall see how it goes!

Here's a few other variations. 

Smaller text... better?

Book Covers! Work in progress..

Covers for 'On The Road' by Jack Kerouac, for my main illustration class. What do you think?

I'm going to print it on some thick water colour paper so it looks like it's been screen printed! Obviously it'd be more ideal to actually screen print it but this is the next best thing! I've been looking at them for too long so no idea if they actually look nice or not.

Nightmare in colour

Voila! Colour. Not a total disaster...

Nightmare

My nightmare spread pre-colour. Much better flow in this one. Bit scared of putting colour on actually, but I really like how it looks like this. Prob should have penned on top of colour... live and learn. Scary?
