The Meantime

The summer semester is quickly coming to a close, so here are a few of my visual distractions from school work..

Indeed

This is the final piece for my chapter illustration for "A Moveable Feast." The scene I chose to depict is from the first chapter when Hemmingway sees a beautiful woman walk into a cafe. It represents an attempt to paint stylistically and thus could use more refinement.

Starting The Move

These are a couple of rough sketches for my current project for Narrative in which we're to illustrate a scene from the first five chapters of Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast."

Edward James Olmos...almost.

Back At It

I'm now into my third week of summer school, which includes a class called Narrative Illustration and another general studies class. That said, the current project for my Narrative class is a portrait, in theory to be used as a magazine cover, of someone well known; and since I'm big fan of the science fiction show Battlestar Galactica, I chose Edward James Olmos as my subject, portrayed as his character in the show, Admiral William Adama. These are concept sketches for the final piece which is due in a week.

Happy Father's Day

From The Road

I recently took a three day drive down and around the central coast of California, mostly via highway 1 which goes along the coast. I walked along some beaches around Santa Cruz, visited the aquarium in Monterey, hiked up a mountain in Big Sur, and saw countless fields of strawberries.
