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.

Here's something fun! One of my sketches turned into a pattern. Enjoy :)

Boy Rabbit

Boy Rabbit

This is my first time using sculpey! And I have to say I'm addicted!! Really can't wait to start my next little figurine :) Boy Rabbit just kinda came to my head as I was sculpting him yesterday. The moment I started shaping his head I knew I had to finish him within 24 hrs, the whole process was really spontaneous and relaxing. I know I'll be starting and finishing another one before I leave for the East Coast tomorrow so stay tuned!! Enjoy :3

This totally satisfies my need to go the ocean. Enjoy!  

Exotic Masks

The masks are for a short film I'm working on with a friend of mine. She's planning on starting a Kickstarter project to help fund the film so keep your eyes open!

Been working on this for awhile. These are the two simpler masks that I have finalized. The other two masks are a lot more complicated and will take another two days to finish. Though we are taking these babies to the laser lab today and see how they turn out, I have no idea how it's gonna look as a metal mask. So excited!
