My holiday Kwanzaa cards are finally complete. I chose to print them on brown card stock sheets of paper. I felt like this complimented the print nicely as well as enforcing this visual of African American culture. They'll be available for purchase on my website very soon!
Designing Kwanzaa cards for the winter! I Decided to do Lino cuts and used my friend as the inspiration. This is only beginning of the process So more pics are coming soon.
Jeremy geddes is a photo realistic painter from Melbourne, Australia. He is widely known for the Cosmonaut series of paintings. He is currently the inspiration behind a current painting of mine. In other news we i am in the process of creating my very own website. Make sure you guys stay tuned!
This particular project was a lot of fun. I love using the element of ambiguity within my artwork. So figuring out what clues to use for my movies zines was something I really enjoyed. I planned to do more zines in the near future!
My first sketchbook project!
After making minor adjustments to my final illustration It finally came to life. some different things that were adjusted was the detail within the bib as well as a shadow underneath the arm. I also went back into the baby's eyes creating more noticeable highlights. Overall I am completely happy with the turn out and I hope that Ms. Maira Kalman would be proud too.
This past Thursday, the VSU art department was blessed with opportunity to meet the founder of the elite printing company, Mama Sauce, and a member of one of the oldest paper mill company's there is, French Paper. The two gentlemen came in and spoke about their individual companies and shed light on how #PrintMatters. Students learned about the french paper making process as well as the how the company conducts business. I was personally inspired by how Nick, the owner of Mama Sauce started his business. He taught me that you have to jump into the fire and go for what you want. I also got to meet a talented VCU student name Justin Tran who was the creator of the #PrintMatters poster.
Today was a success as i moved closer to my final illustration. I'm having loads of fun incorporating different colors into my portrait illustration while still maintaing a cool and somewhat calm composition. I also received some good tips from my professor on how to cut matt board for this particular project and future projects.
As i continue my process of working on my short story accompanied by my illustration, i see that a couple of changes need to be made. I need to work my text in the composition of my illustration and continue to capitalize on detail within the my baby's face. In class my professor Ms. Khalili gave me so,e helpful tip for my final illustration. She loved the way i incorporated different colors within my baby's skin complexion and how i chose to leave everything else light and filled with colorful strokes. i love the looseness of this particular work and how soft the overall composition is. I chose to include some pictures of he color paint I used as well as a reference picture of other african american babies. This way i have something to pull from when it comes to accuracy and inspiration. The story i came up with for the illustration is " I watched closely as her wings seemed to calm. i was witnessing what seemed to be wickedly wonderful experience leaving my eyes wide watery and filled with wonderment". I believe stepping into the final illustration will be loads of fun and hopefully make Maira Kalman very proud.
The oh so original Maira Kalman is a illustrator who is the inspiration for my next project in my illustration class. Her work is a combination of her experiences, thoughts, and phrases accompanied by quirky illustations. I love the way she uses those experiences to create unique and different art. To me she is the perfect balance of creativity, fearlessness, and wit. Hopefully i can create some great illustrations as well that Kalman would be proud of.
Creative confectionary! Everyones calendar print turned out excellent and should make for a visually appealing calendar.
Prints, prints, and more prints!
As i prepared to complete my final prints i spent a lot of time trying to join and marry colors .as well as connect back into the given month.
Flashback Friday
Today i was fortunate enough to meet the incredibly talented and quirky artist that is Chris Olszewski. He came to speak about his skin project. The skin project consists of Chris going on road trips in his pontiac van where he explores his roots and native lands. Meanwhile he covers his entire van in canvas and invites different people he meets along the way to write whatever it is they desire as a sign liberation. He also featured some of his art work at our schools art gallery. His works consisted of spray paint, markers, acrylic paint and cut outs from other material. Toward the end of the reception i spoke with him about how he procured his own studio space and the key to success and he simply told me to never wait. He told me to never wait until i feel i have everything in line to produce the type of work i desire. He also encouraged my graduate school endeavors which i am looking forward to in the future.
At this point in my printing process, coming up with the right color palette for each print that best portrays the seasons within the months of september and october is key. When applying color i also have to make sure my speedy printing blocks are clean so that my colors come out rich and vibrant.
