Im Sorry I Forgot You

2010-08-25T13:26:00.000-07:00

These are the first few pages for my sketchbook project sketchbook entitled 'Im Sorry I Forgot You'. Without really realizing it I've started another memory project. For my Senior thesis the theme was obsession, i chose memory because I am very nostalgic. I guess i was right about my obsession, memories and remembering keep coming up in my work. So even though I chose the title of the sketchbook without much thought I am going to fully embrace my the whole memory thing.

The Sketchbook Project

2010-07-06T14:01:00.000-07:00

I am going to take part in the sketchbook project, zack told me about it, he is also filling in a moleskin for the same purpose. So i just started mine, this is the first page... so far.

15 ways to skin a cat (or just dont do it)

2010-02-04T10:02:00.000-08:00

My friend and illustrator extraordinaire, Zachary Zezima is putting together a zine called '15 ways to skin a cat'. It will include 15 illustrations, created by 15 wonderful illustrators on 15 different ways to skin a cat. for mine, i have to admit, i kind of wimped out. i love cats to much to have evil thoughts about them and so i couldn't exactly skin my cat, so to speak.

here is a close up:

forced marriage

2009-09-22T14:09:00.000-07:00

every two weeks i'm going to try to do an editorial illustration based on an article of my choosing. anyway my first assignment is an article about muslim school girls in France who are sent off over the summer and are forced into marriage. this is the article: New school year puts French on forced marriage alert

a couple sketches:

i ended up going with the second sketch, i liked the composition more. and then i did a more detailed sketch, and some digital experimentation which i think is kind of funny, not really my style...

and for the final i worked in layers which is a new way of working for me. not digital layers but velum layers, which was fun. first i did the drawing in pencil on velum, then i did two color layers with color pencil on velum, and layered them in photoshop...

i cropped the drawing a bit and the final is at the top...

remember when internet was slow and not easily accessible?

2009-07-31T00:26:00.000-07:00

Dime Bag 3

2009-06-25T21:04:00.000-07:00

This is my piece, a tiny quilt, that will be in "Dime Bag 3" to be exhibited at Giant Robot in New York this July. 200 artists will be features and all the bags will be hung in a grid. It should be pretty cool.

Each of the more than two hundred invited artists will receive a 3″ x 3″ clear ziplock-style bag, a “dime bag” of sorts, which is to be used as a container for their piece. The 200 bags will be installed in a grid-like arrangement, each hung with a single nail across two walls of the space. The works will also be for sale individually.
