senior year!

now i'm finally up to date on most of my past work! entering the first semester of my senior year i'm thinking about my senior thesis, an illustrated box set of C.S. lewis' two novels, the magician's nephew, and the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. i'm also taking an etching class, and the zine class with stephen. and because of my digital class i hope to get my website back up and running. writing code is probably the most miserable thing in the world, but i've done it before, i should do it again.

barcelona: horses






this is a long development of horse illustrations. it started out with a small sketch that then inspired a sketch for the black and white collage. this turned into the red and pink trojan horse, and finally the more simple blue and green one. the red a pink horse is watercolor, and the blue and green is watercolor on cut paper

barcelona: little red riding hood


a little red riding hood poster. cut paper

barcelona: the emperor's new clothes




an illustration from the children's story, the emperor's new clothes. still not 100% finished. i made a illustrator mock up that perfects all the little problems from the original scan. maybe one day i'll repaint it, or maybe use the digital file to stencil fun textures into the precise shapes. the original, however, is gouache

barcelona: zoo




still not quite satisfied with the finishes. i plan to try one more time, similar to the blurry photo: loose watercolor and strict line.

barcelona: sketchbook

sirens from the odyssey


barcelona: monster child



this project was to make a children's magazine cover with a back-to-school theme. since i kind of hate children i made a little monster instead. similar right? the final is oil pastel on cut paper
