What was supposed to be an easy three day week was instead turned into a laborious two day week due to some nasty little bug I caught over the weekend. I missed my Illustration crit on my Portrait Grid, but I got to turn it in today and I am really proud on how it turned out… minus the craft… Other than that, though, I didn’t miss too much on Tuesday, which I am extremely grateful for, and I feel pretty much caught up with everything.
We’re starting our client based work in Illustration today and I am TOTALLY stoked. I have sooo many ideas buzzing through my head and it seems like my hand can’t keep up with them. We have to design artwork for the Lloyd Library who is honoring the 350th anniversary of milk chocolate (glorious, glorious chocolate!) The man who created it, Hans Sloane, is my main inspiration and I’m eager to get started. Our professors want us to go through a specific process though, much like the ones we will be encountering in the real world when doing client based work, and so I have to pace myself when it comes to this project. I’m used to drawing a really rough sketch in my sketchbook, then diving in on my final piece. They however want us to do multiple thumbnails, then preliminary sketches, then more preliminary sketches… and then more preliminary sketches (or so it seems)… and then the final project. REGARDLESS, I think this might be a good thing for me since I have a tendency to go at my work with guns blazing, then by the third or fourth day of a project I’ve tuckered out and lost all my inspiration.
In other news, I’M GOING ON THE NEW YORK TRIP. I am SO STOKED. I moved here from New York about ten years ago so I’m really, really excited to be visiting again, but this time as a (somewhat) mature artist. I hope to dazzle you all with pretty little pictures and such what.
Speaking of pictures, check this chick out. She hails from London and has a really lovely, almost dream like quality to her photography, which I admire deeply.

Great post is going to be linking this on a few internet sites of mine maintain up the good function.
I’m a older, as well as for our mature job I am designing any food lender. The food gathered will be donated food from the other students, and also the stays of the bar food. It truly is almost all packaged, thus there is get worried. The actual food is to to look the particular desperate college students, of this campus. However , trying to keep every person into account, how can you start this specific food lender without having problem any of the pupils? I’m sure
a couple of want to continue to be unknown, because that they
had be also ashamed in order to publicize their particular need regarding food.
So , how do I ensure it is confidential? Virtually any ideas,
or even ideas?
