#103 Alien and Prometheus

Sorry its been a while, blogger!  I'll catch you up one chunk of work at a time.

This project involved redesigning a cover for an article, a two page spread, and two spot illustrations.    I decidecided to to "Prometheus: Between a rock and a hard place.  How Ridley Scott's Prometheus deals with impossible expectations and mythological baggage."  It was an article looking at the movie's flaws and also looking at it from several different points of view.

I tried using an experiment to color the two page spread and the two spots.  

It involves ink linework

and a painting process. 

It's certainly been interesting... may continue to use this in the future!

#102 Paintin!

Landscape Painting has really changed my perspective on painting and forced me to use paint in a different way... for good!

 

 

THIS IS A BREAKTHROUGH IN PAINTING STYLE FOR ME. 

This is Ms. Thin Layers talking.

AFTER

This is a magazine cover re-design for FilmComment on the article "Between a rock and a hard place".  It's about the movie Prometheus and how it's trying to be an Alien "prequel" for the already standing fans AND a completely new film standing on it's own. 

I'll also be doing a 2-page spread for the inside of the article which I will post soon!

 

 

#100: SCHOOL IN ALL ITS GLORY

So it's been a while sinse the last update... you could say I've been busy!  Art school is definitely just as challenging as I remember, but also just as fun.  Let's get started on some awesome portfolio pieces this year, shall we? 

Again, if you would like to see even more of my art, check out my art Tumblr!  

First of all, I'll catch you up on school work.

Here's a magazine cover I am working on for FilmComment magazine featuring the article “Prometheus: Between a rock and a hard place”.  It focuses on the impossible standards of the original alien movie they tried to live up to while still being ambiguous about the origin of aliens and ourselves.

Alternative idea...

For a Black and White Illustration class I'm designing a poster for the Sundance Film Festival.  I'm choosing between these first two.

 I'm starting a landscape class this year!

Some studies

Sketches for a oil palette knife painting.  I really like palette knives.

Here's a "moodboard" I made showing my artistsic influences.

#85 Sketchbook nonsense

I've been wondering to do with my sketchbook pages...an art tumblr might be a good choice.  I'm just so lazy about it. Consolidating on my blog seems like the easiest way to go lol.  The only problem being, it's not as accessible as tumblr or facebook... Oh well!  I will get on it eventually here and definitely make a website.  When that happens, you all will be the first to know  :)

happy endings baw

a bit late for valentines day
