Back To Basic City

The Perfect Marriage

This is my final project for Narrative Illustration in which we were to come up with an editorial piece to go along with an article about unisex fragrances which appeal to both men and women. I hit a few speed bumps with this one, as my ambitions far exceeded the outcome, but I think it conveys the idea clearly and (hopefully) lightheartedly. I have found the summer semester to be rather trying in regards to project ideation and execution but have ultimately learned quite a lot. And since I am approaching the median of my MFA career, I shall heed the calls of the distant mountains to the east in preparation for the coming fall.

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.
