Cat Fishing

This is an image from a book that I am currently working on in my children's book class. The book I am doing is a sign language ABC book that is all about learning the letters in the alphabet. This is one of pages from the book. I have decided to show one of my favorite summer activities: Cat fishing. What I thought would be fun was to show the irony of a cat cat fishing. Overall I think it is a fun piece that shows fun bright colors that any child would enjoy.

Words Hurt

I saw this on a friends facebook page. I am not quite sure who to give the credit to but I thought this was an amzing graphic design piece. I have never scene anything quite like this before. The title of the piece is "Words Hurts" and I think that the usage of the words to create the hand around the boys neck shows that clearly. When you look at this it makes you remember that words can hurt whether you mean them to or not and maybe that's something we should think about before we speak.

Broadway Children's theater









Here are my 3 final pieces for the Broadway Children's Theater. This was my first assignment for my senior studio class and my first client driven project. The first piece is "A Christmas Carol", the second is "Wizard of oz" and the third is "Peter Pan". Most of my work is done with ink and gouache, using it a bit like water color but taking advantage of how gouache can work a little like acrylic. I was really pleased with the way that these have turned out. I was able to successfully work a little larger than normal and with my "A Christmas Carol" piece I took my first attempt at a snow scene and I feel like it turned out pretty well :)
