Wrapping Things Up

I am in my final week here at PLU and I am excited to be moving to the U-District after break! I

have been finishing up stuff around here in Parkland, and unfortunately that means ending my job at Impact. I'll miss it, it has been fun. I took two projects on a couple weeks ago and here is how they turned out:

Also, the business director for Impact sent out a request to some people to make a logo for a fake medical company for her capstone project. They are going to hold a contest i

n January to pick one. This is the first logo I have done in a while, and my first ever time creating my own font! Here is my take:

And finally, I have been added to the design team at Mars Hill U-District, where I will be going to church when I move to Seattle and I have been working on some blog headers for them. Here they are:

I am also in process of some personal pieces, so those should be coming soon. I have just been busy with the stuff above and finals to do much other stuff!

Art Dump

Been doing art kind of like a mad man the last couple weeks. Lots of failed experiment, some that are still in process but I am just still toying with them, and a few that make the cut for this blog.

This is my woodcut print that I did in printmaking:

This is my most recent project for Impact (the graphic design job I have at PLU):


And finally, one I did just for fun. It's that time of year :)

Design?

Over the past few months, I have been shifting my art interests towards the graphic design side of things. I got a job at Impact, which is the graphic design company at our school, so I have been doing designs for them and loving it. Here are a few of the works I have done:



I am pretty sure I am going to switch my major from Drawing and Painting to Design. I think I just like it a lot more. So I have been doing some practice outside of Impact. Here is something I have been working on:


It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from the Chronicles of Narnia, in reference to Aslan:

"Of course He's good. But He's not safe. He's not a tame lion!"

A Great Forest is Set on Fire by a Small Spark.

Just a reflection on how careless I am with my words sometimes, and how it hurts people.

Let's get some shoes!

My sister wanted some custom done converse hi-tops done by yours truly. She loved them, which I was happy about. Here are some pictures:

Epic Fail

Last year, I did caricatures at C'est La Vie, a local Edmonds shop that my mom is a manager at, during one of their Art Walks. Last year, I raised over 100 dollars for boys and girls club doing that. My Mom invited me to do the same thing this year, and I agreed. However, the outcome was much different. After 2.5 hours of sitting there, I only got to draw one caricature. I got asked by every old person in Edmonds what school I went to, and they said what I was doing was a neat thing, but no one wanted to get drawn. They were all afraid of how I was going to draw them...

Anyways, I ended up having an okay time just sketching while sitting like an idiot in the store. I did what I like to call scribble drawings. Basically, I just scribble random lines on a page until I start to see something. As you will see in the pictures, sometimes the results are quite bizarre.

Self-Portrait

My final project for my Drawing class. Black and white charcoal on toned paper.
