reflection

I have mixed feelings about Portland Folk. I dig the concept and I love illustrating, but maybe I didn't settle with a cohesive enough system to tie it all together. Or maybe I'm just over-thinking it? ;-)

If I were to continue this project, I think I'd like to incorporate some photographic element into it and be more choosy with who I select (rather than trying to document as many people as possible). There are just some things I can't capture with my illustrations. I wish I had the courage of Bill Cunningham!

mini photoshoot for my brand book! the details don't show through though...might use some of the ones I posted before ;)

example of tissue paper gift wrap

Print experimentation. Some are on tracing paper. Ultimately I decided to go with the brown paper :)

I started laying out a zine but I don't think I like it.

What do you think? Is the script with the brush pen ok or should I stick with pencil for the title? :-/
