It's been a while...

Sorry folks. But here is something I completed some few weeks ago-


My Twilight Zone painting! Starring Rod Serling getting sucked into a doll-mannequin-thing by a black and white spirally-thing.
It's a pop-out, so here are some different views and of course a little close up of details and all that jazz.

In the meantime, I am almost done completing a different painting, and I have a lot of work on to do on another...plus an ink-life drawing that I haven't even started yet. Oh yes, and I have more thumbnails to do. And Indesign. And some english work. All due this week! Guess who's not getting any sleep this week?
Nah I never sleep. At night I mean. But I always get my work done in the most decent-way possible in the little time I'm given. I love my work-alcoholic life as of now.

Also, more news:
This Thursday April 22nd from 6-9 PM, there will be an illustration exhibition showing at the Illustration House located on 110 West 25th street. Please come if you can; it's a student gallery showing the majority of my fellow illustration-classmates work, as well as mine. Your eyes will bleed and pop our of your head from the amazing and talented young people of our generation that has yet to be discovered! So come. It's free, and it's candy to your eyes and food for your brain. Nothing to lose, only to gain.

The gallery will be up from the 20th to the 30th, but you'll be able to meet all the students who produced the artwork if you come Thursday. So I'll say it again; GO TO THE EXHIBITION! Here I will once again link the website for this marvelous event: http://illustrationfuturo.blogspot.com/

I put it in bold so you can see it better. You know. Just in case.



P.S. I turn 20 tomorrow.

I like classy sluts.

Do you?


I think you should.

more sketches

Oh, hi.

Not much to say.
Doodle. Foodle.






OH HEY IT'S SAL CATALANO! Everyone's favorite hero that looks like Frasier Crane. Also one of my favorite teachers. I swear it's not just because he looks like Frasier. I swear.

I see purple people.

8x10, acrylic.
Finally finished this assignment for general illustration. The right side was cut off a bit by the scanner though...
We had to take a boring article which someone wrote about teenagers. "Oh no! 13 and 14 year olds are doing drugs, alcohol, having sex and smoking cigarettes! Oh those poor corrupted souls...this is what we should do to keep our children healthy and pure..." etc. etc. You know the deal.
So us, illustrators, make an interesting image about the teenage brain so people could look at it and think "Hey! That's a cool picture, now I just gotta read this article!"

Well, anyhow I'm glad this is done. My next assignment is to make an illustration based on a story about a guy who wakes up one morning to find out he turned into a human-sized cockroach.
Also I seem to have a new approach to this semester. I'm actually putting a lot of effort and care into my work. Compared to the last few semesters I feel like the majority of my work has been half-assed and quickly done.

Of course now that all I'm really doing is working, I don't feel like a rebellious teenage college student anymore, but more so like a middle-aged woman doing her job. Oh dear, I feel so old.

Deformity.

Innocence Causes Agony

Just finished editing this. For one of my classes we had to portray corruption of the financial economy on Wall street.

Here are some close ups-
All india ink, and some minor photoshop editing to get rid of the white-out clumps.
I'm pretty happy with this piece. I spent 8+ hours on it the night before it was due. No joke.

I'm pretty good at finishing things last minute. But I should really manage my time better.

Also much thanks to Meg and Marissa posing as dead people for me so I could get good reference and facial expressions! Yay!

Hey, it's March!

I finally scanned in a lot of my things. Over 40 images that I'll spread between posts...

But for now, enjoy these quickies. No, they're not masterpieces, but hopefully they'll be amusing to your eyes.


Over my winter break, there was a little underwear fiesta going on at Union Square. This doesn't surprise me.
My biggest regret is not bringing my camera...

Hey! Wind-up dolls! I like them. I also like this song- Wind-up Doll by Little Peggy March
It's a very cute 1960s kind of song...it makes me like wind-up dolls. You should to.

Also, I'm dumb and don't know how to post youtube videos to this blog. If anyone knows, tell me how...
