poster dump

I've been excited to share some poster work I've been making for K&M for the craft show this Saturday. There is also a poster for Califone's show here in Atlanta that was cancelled (bummer) but the prints are still for sale and they will reschedule. Melissa came up with the idea behind the pig piece as well as the Califone frame idea. She also knew all of the cheeses off the top of her head which I thought was rad. Anyhoo, this was a true exercise in lettering and it gave me a good chance to sharpen up on it. These will be on my site soon. K&M will be selling these at ICE, so if you want some for Chistmas presents be there Saturday!

Above: An Atlanta lover print and cheese lover print.

Above: A print for pork lovers (this one was fun to draw) and one that celebrates singing in the shower!

Above: This poster is inspired by Califone's recent soundtrack for the film "All My Friends are Funeral Singers." I really enjoyed drawing this one.

Above: A music-related print for the house. Hope you digg.

This is so inspiring! Just wanted to share.

drawings from KC

About two or three weeks ago I took a trip to see my friends Jane and Trey in Kansas City, MO. Andrew, Robyn and Edward were visiting at the same time. We went to a brewery, got to visit with some of my old Academy instructors, saw Mark Englishes studio, museums, toured Hallmark and so on. It was nuts! It took some time to get readjusted when I returned to Atlanta. Like most trips, when you return reality slaps you back in the face. So I am just now scanning some of the drawings I did while I was there.
Here is some sketchbook work. Something I loved about Kansas City was the old typefaces. A lot of the buildings were preserved so there was a lot of vintage charm there. And trains and creeking wood floors.

The above one might be an illustration one day. I can feel it brewing.


The above are of the model Rosa, she was awesome.



And here are some figure drawing from life. I actually haven't drawn from life in such a long time. I honestly didn't enjoy it that much in school. I think the reason is that I had a difficult time making a connection with it relating to my work. So it was really neat this time around because I still learned while drawing from life, but I drew them in a way that felt like my own. Like some of the faces, haha. My no-neck hallow-eyed people, haha.....Anyway.




The cats weren't really there, hehe.

Now I am in one of those strange points in my personal work where I feel almost lost, not sure what direction to go in next. Maybe that's normal. Haha, I am just going to enjoy life and see what happens.
