InCharacter: Humility

Ironically, I'm posting my own illustration on a blog dedicated to my own illustrations, and this illustration is about humility.  ME I'M GREAT AT DRAWING HUMILITY CHECK IT.

Anemometer

This is an old piece that I made for my dad for father's day while I was interning with the Post Family this summer.  It is a three screen screen print with gold leaf (I was really into gold leaf this summer, huh?).  My dad is really into kiteboarding, so the gold mark is a kite and you can just see the little guy floating in the water.  The symbols are used in conjunction with an anemometer, a device used to measure wind speed, and denote speeds from zero knots up to hurricane winds!

Karen O stamp

This is what I made today. It is Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! MMmmmmmyeahyeahyeahs. Then, I built a time machine and mailed it in the past to my future self, just like in Back to the Future.

Happy New Year!

It's 2011 and I'm just now looking at the New York Times' annual end-of-the-year review of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2010. And I have to give SCAD props because there's something pretty great about these 10 featured illustrators; three of them gave lectures here in the past year! So, here are the books and their illustrators, in the order the NYTimes lists them.

SILA Illustration West 49

The first week of school was kind of funny, as it was only two days long. And two of my three classes were canceled for the first day! But I'm back of the swing of things and excited to see what will come out of me and my talented classmates this quarter. And I'm working on a comic about a modern Wonder Woman for my dear friend Grace. Oh no, here's a terrible picture of some sketches from the project.I also have some exciting news! I was very lucky to get two pieces into the SILA Illustration 49 show, in the student category. If you have a chance, take a look at the online gallery. I believe it goes up soon. Thanks!
