Not So Sweet

I made this last semester for an article that was about kids being addicted to sugar and junk food.  I tried to make her look cute (or should I say... sweet!) and not sad.  She's just a little bit stuck.

Winter Mural

Not actually a mural.. just the project!  It was the first one of this semester and I didn't like it for awhile, but I keep going back to look at it and it's not so bad.  I like the colors I chose... wintry but not dull.  I guess it (the illustration as a whole) throws me off because it's so far removed from the way I usually go about my images.  I think it looks like a coloring book page!  I was kind of going for that though... we were asked to create a mural depicting an American scene for a school in Africa to maybe use on their walls. I made it simple so it would read easier and also be easier for someone to paint who hadn't drawn it themselves.

Can you tell I got inspiration from Cleveland? :)

Happy Spring!!

I am so thankful for this warm weather.  Sleeping with the windows open is truly one of the best things in life.  It is a little different here in Baltimore when we have police helicopters buzzing around at all hours (say whaaat?) but still, the fresh air is nice!  And they add excitement!  It's like I'm living in an episode of The Wire! (Not really... I am snug in this little apartment.)  The noise is actually comforting in a weird way anyways, I like the feeling of living in a city.  It's nice to know people are always around.  Also... I saw Paranormal Activity 3 last week and had the pants scared off of me so I'm not in much of a mood to be alone.  My phone rings and I jump.  It's fun.  

I made this yesterday in my collage class.  We were assigned a letter of the alphabet and had to make 2 images.  1 for a young audience and 1 for an adult audience.  This is the one for the small folks.  Next week I'll be working on the one for the bigs.
