One of my classes had a creative project based on one of our readings. I did mine based on the first stanza of Anne Bradstreet’s “Prologue”:

To sing of Wars, of Captains, and of Kings, Of Cities founded, Common-wealths begun, For my mean Pen are too superior things; Or how they all, or each their dates have run, Let Poets and Historians set these forth. My obscure lines shall not so dim their worth.

Here it is completed. I edited it, not in Illustrator, to remove my last name, but I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm glad it's finally done.

From sketch to fully colored, my final project for Spanish is looking good in my opinion.

Now to just import to illustrator and add text.

For my American Lit Survey class we have a creative final project and the teacher's suggestion was to do an illumination like the St. Johns Bible, which my school currently has 2 of the copies, Revelations and the Gospels. The illumination isn't on the bible though, it had to be from a reading from this semester. I chose The Scarlet Letter and specifically am illuminating the following passage and I thought a mosaic or stained glass type pattern fit well with the idea of almost a tale of someone happening upon a lost 'jewel' with so much attached to it.

So speaking, she undid the clasp that fastened the scarlet letter, and, taking it from her bosom, threw it to a distance among the withered leaves. The mystic token alighted on the hither verge of the stream. With a hand's-breadth farther flight it would have fallen into the water, and have given the little broo another woe to carry onward, besides the unintelligible tale which it still kept murmuring about. But there lay the embroidered letter, glittering like a lost jewel, which some ill-fated wanderer might pick up, and thenceforth be haunted by strange phantoms of guilt, sinkings of the heart, and unaccountable misfortune.

I decided to try the isometric shape challenge MoonShoesPatty posted on his tumblr. Idk, i have homework to do and I needed a break, and i only created one 3D object, oh well, it was kinda cool to attempt to make shapes.

During my January band trip I asked my friend Sarah P what she wanted me to draw and she said a squirrel. And so, here we are.

Working on my Spanish semester project (it’s in English for now, I’ll switch it later but I want the basic idea of how it will be). Eventually I’ll work on it in probably Illustrator. On the left is my first sketch of it. The second is on a larger drawing pad. I’m not sure what I want on the right of the logo in the center yet.
