#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. 

before...

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!
