Illustrative Storytelling Midterm with Jeff Smith

A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O'Conner

548 by John Cheever

The Visitor by Thomas M. Cain

Royal Jelly by Roald Dahl

My midterm project for Illustrative Storytelling. All the pieces are inspired by Josh Cochran, the amazing Illustration alum from Art Center. I'm actually really surprised, these came out a lot better than I expected. Some pieces (like 548 and A Good Man) are drawn from little toy models while other pieces were from observation or photo reference. Really learned a lot from this project, I do prefer the toy drawn images over the photo references and I hope to use that process more in the future. 

Mr. Crazy Bear is Born

Mr. Crazy Bear says Hello to the World!

Belated but here he is! I did three versions: Mr. Crazy Bear for boys, Mr. Crazy Bear for girls, and Unisex Mr. Crazy Bear. These templates are meant to be printed on a tabloid size paper, especially since Mr. Crazy Bear can be placed over a water bottle. Though Mr. Crazy Bear can still be created on a 8.5" x 11" letter paper. Click here for the link to download the high resolution templates. Enjoy and have fun with Mr. Crazy Bear! He is a very close friend of mine so take good care of him :)

Day Around Pasadena

Went around Oldtown Pasadena to get some pictures in today and then headed back up to school for another round. I'm really digging these photos, much better than the first time. Thank you for modeling Leigh! And thank you Tarek and Martin for assisting, you both are lifesavers. A few more shoots and I'll be done :)

Hiking at Eaton Canyon

Today, I went to Eaton Canyon and trekked all the way to the waterfall with my friend and best friend, AP Fischer and Martin Locante. It was a long and wet journey (which got me more sick) but was worth it. The view was amazing! I do encourage people to go whenever you can. Thanks for modeling Abram and thanks for helping out Martin. 


Hope ya'll enjoy these photos as much as I had fun taking them! Enjoy :)

Mr. Crazy Bear Update

Mr. Crazy Bear is coming! He will be complete this Thursday in three different color variations, so stay tuned to download the templates and build one for yourself.

Communication Design 1: Container Corporation of America Poster

CCA poster assignment for Comm Design 1. Did a lot of tweaking with the type! I like where it's at but I feel like it could still use some work... we'll see how the final version comes out. Would love to get some input from you guys!!

There is a larger version on my site here. And if you visit, you'll notice I changed my logo ;) Enjoy!

Paper Toy Mock Up #1

Did a super fast paper toy mock up! Decided to make Mr. Crazy Bear from my sketchbook. Will definitely be doing more versions of him tomorrow. Will be adding a hat and his wiggly tongue :D

Product Shot!

Photo homework for this week's class. Really happy with the outcome considering we didn't have a full demo on how to do product shots. Still have a long way to go but a good first attempt. This is all done in natural light, so no crazy lighting fixtures on site! Can't wait to do redos.

Sketchbook Dump

Found a lot of happiness with the red pen which was inspired by one of my friends who writes in red a lot. If you want to have a sense of how I sketched before, check out my first sketchbook dump here. I definitely loosened up a bit and incorporate the text hell of a lot better. Will return with more, gotta keep sketching!
