This is just my extension on the whole playing card thing. I love the idea of camping.











This is a portrait of my boyfriend, Chris, who was nice enough to sit for 6 hours. I used acrylic and the size is about 3ft by 4ft.

This is just an Easter Greeting card I have been working on in Illustrator.
I think I have come to a point where I am happy with the palette, and I like leaving the chocolate bunny as a flat object.

I love Easter. It reminds me of hopscotch and jacks and running around my house looking for eggs filled with candy. My mom still hides eggs for me and my sisters (Me and my twin are 20, and Jen is 24). And yes, we take it seriously.

Bird cards

Here are my bird cards. All to do with birds blending in with the environment and not standing out :).



<-these are sketches I made
with grayscale markers.

This is my layout for the bird project!

APRIL

This is my Calendar piece for the month of April. I was interested in portraying earth day in terms of animals. Too often we forget that animals are so much a part of the earth, and we focus on human needs. I had a lot of difficulty with this- it was hard to get my mind to try to twist the animal forms.

Other ideas I had:

This is my final fork project (It finally uploaded right, and not alien colors :B). I was interested in the origin of forks, as it relates to other utensils, and asked the question, which came first, the fork or the spoon?

fork 2

Okay, so this is my second idea... I found out that before forks were used, people primarily used wooden spoons, and the earliest forks in the U.S. were called "split spoons". This made me wonder if the spoon came first, which led me to the whole chicken or egg concept. I later found out that spoons have been used since paleolithic times... but I'm not sure most people would know which came first; the fork or the spoon.

I am using analogous colors for this, and possibly making the background yellow or very pale orange. I'm also going to experiment with water.
