Um, yikes. Let me sum up what's been happening with a cartoon:

 

Yup. Been kind of sick lately, which is why I disappeared. I also moved back to the States! Woo! That was way back in December (you know we barely have 2 weeks left of Feburary?? CRAZY) I loved Florence, don't get me wrong, but there's something about coming home that is just wonderful and amazing (especially when you're sick...) What have I been doing since I got home? Well, healing, mostly, and that means not a lot of drawing/doodling/designing. Hopefully I will start up again soon, and when I do, I'll be sure to keep you posted! Until then, enjoy.

 This is something my sister asked me to draw :) I like how it came out. Though I sadly suck at backgrounds :/

This I did for fun. (characters taken from TF2 - I don't own them, I just found the 'relationship' between Red Spy and Blu Scout's mom to be hilarious :D)

 Little penguin is a little late, but he brought a fish!!

New Portfolio!

Taking a small break from finals to put up my new portfolio!! I was only able to keep a couple of things from my old portfolio, but I like how this turned out. Enjoy!

Old portfolio

Whew! Finally getting these up. This is my old portfolio, the one that won in the San Diego County Fair last Spring (has it been that long already?) I don't know which of these I'll keep for next portfolio, if any... my own favorites are the Ragdoll card and the book illustrations. Enjoy!

Fancytime

So this was for a project where we had to make a business package for a company (made up or real) so I decided to make one up, and well, this is what happened :) We had to have all the crop marks on the pdf's we created so those are what the lines are around each object. This was a LOT of fun to do, everything was created in Illustrator and then brought into InDesign to lay everything out. Enjoy!

Photography shots

Ok so before I put the portfolio up I'll put these up, I'm taking a Photography class this semester and even though I don't have a DSLR camera, I guess I still managed to get out some decent shots. The assignment was to get some abstract shots of textures or textiles. Abstract and I usually don't get along so well but my teacher said I did a decent job so hooray! Enjoy! I'm working on getting the Portfolio pieces up. :)

Ooo, I found some stuff!

I found some older pieces that I hadn't put up yet, so enjoy!!

Ahaha - I drew this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend (before we were actually dating):D Characters from Pysconauts and Invader Zim, done in Corel Painter.

This was the poster that I showed in the Student Exhibition last semester, it was up on the wall next to one of the pages of my comics (see previous post - page 2 of the comic) Done in Illustrator.

Below is the brochure I did for my Graphic Design final last semester - I chose to do a brief description of Cinque Terre, 5 towns along the Italian Coast just below the Italian Riviera. They're beautiful cities, and all the photos were taken by me. Done in Photoshop and InDesign.

 

Up next I'll be putting up all the pieces that were in my portfolio when it won at the San Diego Fair last year - I have to change it up this semester so I want to put up all the pieces since it's going to change.
