Florence work...

So, am finally putting up some work from classes I've been taking in Florence! Mind you I've been producing it pretty consistently while I've been here but my camera has been dead for awhile so I was just waiting on my digital work to get done. I've made some etchings though, that I'll be posting later as soon as my edition is done and I get a camera running!

Heeere is an magazine-ish ad that I made for Illustration. Just to remind everyone, my individual theme for this class is fashion illustration in related to florence... I decided to focus on the fact that practically EVERY grown woman in Italy owns and rocks a fur coat, especially the really old ones. They're everywhere and they're SO beautiful... but go faux!

Shoot having some issues with uploading... will have to get the rest of the images to you all in the next day or two.

Illustration stuff

I have an Illustration class here in Florence and we had to choose a theme that we'll be applying to the next 6 projects we do. Since I want to make work that can go into an illustration portfolio for myself I decided to work in a subject that I'm pretty familiar with and that I know I can make fairly good work in: Fashion/Advertising design. This is just the first assignment, that expresses you're theme in color. Very simple, kind of just a quick exercise. I drew this in pen and then colored in Photoshop using my tablet!

New Los Ren Men Event.

New Event, new poster. Check it out:

Also, my brother has become a MEME MACHINE. So far he is the only contributor to Chubby Animals That Swear. Check it out, there's some really hilarious stuff on there. Hopefully I'll find the time and inspiration to add something to it soon!

Printmaking, FINALLY

Two of my final prints from last semesterrr. Sorry it took so long to get them up.

Doin' it Firenze style

Some new work...

This is just a general image I made for the series of artwork that I'll be doing in Florence.

Then after that is just a few sketchs I did out of my sketchbook, the girls were today and the portrait was from the summer. I apologize for the quality of the photographs but you really gotta bare with me here. The camera I'm working with is the only one I have out here otherwise I'd have disassembled it by now... I hate that thing. Its main issue is that it has lost it's ability to focus correctly. Oh well, hopefully you can make out the shapes on the paper!

More Posters, Go see the Show!

So I'm finishing up some more posters for Los Renaissance Men, for their up coming shows. I'm trying to keep the theme of these posters to art deco (although I know that's not a style usually associated with the renaissance).

And you know, these are real shows, so you could go see them... and should. They're great. This last design is an edit of an old poster that they now want to use as more of a general logo or I guess "profile picture" as we understand it these days.

There's one more to come. I'll post it soon.

ciao!

More tablet drawing..

So first off I should say that my place of residence has changeddd as y'all may already know. I'm in Italy. And it's great. You can find some pictures on Facebook. Anyways my friend Billy (an experienced a drummer and new coming music producer) wrote a song that Dorothy Yarrington sings in (she happens to be his girlfriend). She's a great singer and he's a great song writer and they are my friends so they asked me to do an album cover for a single.

so here that is:

and then My brother and I also started a blog called Chubby Animals That Swear that I will put up a link for as sooon as we get a few more pictures done for it. Keep on the look-out for it...

I just started a graphic design class at SACI so look forward to some work from that too. Other than that though I might not have too much art to show for this semester because all of my other classes are academic. Perhaps I'll put up work that comes out of my creative writing class but I wouldn't count on it yet hahaaa... yeah.

k, till next time,
