Karen's Adventures in Storybrooke Blog Banner

2011-12-23T23:16:00.000-08:00

Recently I designed the banner for Karen (of Lost blogging fame) and her awesome write-ups for the TV show "Once Upon A Time"

Sketch Studies

Illustration of Karen

Castle Logo: Since Once Upon A Time is all about Fairytale characters come to this world I choose to create a castle and made one of the turrets the clock tower that's so prominent in the real world of the show.

This is the banner, I decided to go with this book since usually in from of many of the old Disney fairytales there's a book to tell you backstory and since the character Henry carries around a very similar storybook.

Mucha Book

2011-12-23T22:57:00.000-08:00

For this project I created a pamphlet/book for a museum show of a famous designer. I choose Alphonse Mucha, this is the layout. Click on any image for a full slideshow.

Shasta Logo and Packaging Redesign

2011-12-23T21:44:00.000-08:00

I was asked to take a soda, shampoo or other liquid product and redesign the logo and packaging. I choose Shasta since I felt that product really needed a redesign and also I remember it fondly from childhood.

This is the photoshoot that I had done.

Book Illustrations

2011-12-23T00:13:00.000-08:00

For another illustration I was asked to design some book covers. I had a hard time choosing from Watership Down, Frankenstien, Hunchback of Notredame, Pride & Prejudice, and The Hobbit. I ended up choosing The Hunchback of Notredame and Pride and Prejudice.

THese are cloud studies that I did.

This is my first attempt at Hunchback which I liked, but it didn't show his hunchback.

I changed the expression sinceI was going for indifference, but it ended up just being angry.

Sasquatch Stole My Lunch Money

2011-12-22T15:32:00.000-08:00

For the new project I was asked to take a taboid newpaper and design an illustration from one of the headlines. Theres actually a number of other ones that were discarded that I want to return to.
Railway Station to Mars
Batboy the Musical
Russian Boxer finds Yeti
Sewer Gators March on Wallstreet
One about a car wreak that I reclared the cars with Lego Minifigures
My Bride ran away with a clown

Three that I narrowed down to

Sasquatch recieved the biggest reaction

2011-12-21T16:27:00.000-08:00

For this project we had to take 10 random words and pick 2 to combine into a theme for an illustration. I choose Sceme Codependance

2011-12-20T23:43:00.001-08:00

Watership Down Concept Designs

2011-09-30T22:51:00.001-07:00

I've been drawing a lot of Watership Down rabbits in the last few months and I decided that I would do some Concept illustrations of it in Pastel.This is one of the rabbits investigating a stream after Kehaar told them that it would be a good way to escape from the Efrafans.

The rabbits did a lot of running at different times in the story, at this moment they are running from an Efrafan patrol.

Concept studioes for Blackavar and General Woundwart.

Meeting Product Demand Illustration

2011-09-30T22:34:00.001-07:00

This is the Illustration Project that I am working on right now, we have to pick from 5 different abstract business phrases and illustrate it using nature. I choose "Meeting Product Demand". I decided to have a line of factory squirrels walking on a branch to drop nuts into a tree hole with a head squirrel over seeing them and the nuts travel to the bottom of the tree and to a huge stockpile. Another head squirrel is then selling the nuts to other animals for money or other goods. I created a side view, birds eye view and a worms eye view. Everyone seemed to like the Birds eye view and I agree with them.

Electronic Skin Tattoo

2011-09-30T22:09:00.001-07:00

This Fall I am taking both Graphic Design and Illustration at the University of Southern California Northridge (CSUN). This is the first project that I just turned in along with all of the thumbnails and other process sketches. We had to read this article about Electronic Skin Tattoos and do an illustration on it. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.6e1e2ad90e2d94b12b6258b7e9c5b33d.611

I started out with the more scary aspect of it focusing on the Fringe Science aspect, I also had one with a tattoo artist putting an Electronic Skin Tattoo on a girl, plus a Propaganda poster.

These proved to be the wrong road so I want with a doctor, a spy and a gamer. I also tried to further the monster/Fringe science aspect with my own creature. The instructor suggested that I focus on just the spy and have an eye or ear that is communicating with the spy's Electronic tattoo.

Electronic Skin Tattoo

2011-09-30T22:03:00.001-07:00

So I tried all sorts of variations on the eye and ear.

When I got to the Adobe Illustrator phase I kept knocked it out and was pleased with it, but the instructor kept pushing me to improve on it, which was really great.

Graphic Design Class

2011-09-30T19:15:00.001-07:00

This Fall I am taking a Graphic Design class at California State University Northridge (CSUN). This is some of my classwork. So far its just been excercises, but our new project is to redesign a logo/bottle wrap of a drink.

For the first project we had to take an image of a celebrety and intigrate their name into the design. I choose Terry O' Quinn. The first image is a set of thumbnails.

This is the design.

For the second project we had to take 3 personal characteristics and make design posters out of them with a thought.

These thumbnails are to figure out poster compositions

I figured that since I'm doing a set of Others that I really needed to do The Man In Black and Jacob's Mother since MIB was part of the original Others. and Jacob lead the Others during the current stories. I'm not happy with the first page of head studies, but with the second I feel I'm getting closer to what Alison Janney looks like.

I color Corrected the David Robert Jones Pastel Drawing in order to remove that line since I had to scan it in two parts. I also tweeked the contract and brightness.

Ethan Rom

2011-05-04T00:07:00.000-07:00

Ethan is my most favorate Other after Ben So I felt it fitting to design him first before the others for a 9 card pack of Others. Mikhail, Tom (not sure if I'm going to do Hobo Tom or regular), Dogen, Lennon, Goodwin, Cindy, Alex, & Karl. (Some of these might change.)

LOST: Ethan Rom Rough

2011-04-25T16:17:00.000-07:00

I'm starting a set of Others cards and Ethan has always been one of my favorate Others. He made it seem almost like the Others had super strength with his beating up Jack, lifting Charlie into a hangmans rope, etc. Ben was great because of his sneekyness, but Ethan was more brute power it seemed at first.

Tiki Masks, John & Hazel

2011-04-13T22:35:00.000-07:00

Since my wife and my anniversary trip to Hawaii I've really been into Tiki statues and the whole island culture. I've really been inspired to put some of that into my Counterpoint designs

I'm finally getting to searching for a look for John the main character of the story.

Bullets and Broken Hearts

2011-04-08T00:02:00.000-07:00

I wanted to do a Fringe poster in a Film Noir style and I felt that Wherever She Went She Left Behind A Trail of Bullets and Broken Hearts fit Fauxlivia from the first half of season 3 perfectly. This was sketched out and then cleaned up and colored in Adobe Illustrator.
