I apologize for not writing lately. These projects have been taking up most of my time. I’m actually working on one right now, but I mustered up enough guilty feelings to write a new post. The sketch above is from my high school sketchbook. I remember drawing these 2 passengers on a train ride home. The guy at the top was a construction worker, the woman on the bottom was a grandmother. I like the fact that I added some captions next to them. I may continue doing that kind of thing from now on. Alrighty, well I’m getting back to designing stuff. Have a good weekend.
They’re so peaceful at that age. Lets give him a moment to pray, shall we?
Here’s my first of hopefully many sketches with text. I’ve decided to focus my body of work on typography, addressing the topics that
concern me. I’m really excited about this new direction. My work will ultimately be, I believe, on scratchboard. But for now I will work with different materials to see if there are better ways to communicate through my artwork. The image above is an experimentation with text forming imagery.
I’ve been awfully busy now that school started. I’m attempting to make good use of my time by working on my design projects at home and in school. Seeing how I’m pretty exhausted right now, I’ll just present an illustration I did last semester. The assignment was to juxtapose an image of someone “shaving while riding”. So I did a scratch board illustration of a businessman riding a shark to work. I hadn’t done a scratch board piece since high school and I was eager to test those waters (no pun intended, but I’m glad I said it). My brother was gracious enough to be the model. I’ll give you a hint, he’s the one riding the shark. The final piece is 12”x9”. It is colored digitally. Enjoy!
