Hello 2014

Just a few drawings from then and now...

Below are a selected few from this new year.

I have not forgotten how to vector. The proof:

Created in mid-February. (I still don't like jelly.)

2013 Work + Sketchbook

This year I've been able to work on a few fun projects. As with a lot of projects though, some can't be shared. I was able to help out doing some non-profit work for the Kansas City Quills and redesign their logo and put a postcard together for an event earlier this year.

It isn't often that I get to do t-shirt designs, but Thunderbeard apparel provided me with a quirky opportunity back in May. Plus, it was my first real time drawing men's hair/facial hair.

In between freelance work, I've managed to get more personal work done. Unfortunately for my blog, Instagram is a much faster way of sharing these pieces (without having to worry about scanning and editing). I tend to post immediately after I finish, so check out my profile for a more up-to-date view of my creative happenings.

2012 Drawings

I spent a small portion of 2012 making things for friends, whether it be as birthday gifts or just fun/art trade. Otherwise, it was sketchbook time.

Sketchbook : Girls

These are just a few drawings I've done in the last few months.

early June

late June

I couldn't decide if I liked her with or without eyes. I drew them in anyway just because I was so excited to tackle those lashes. At first I didn't like it, but it's growing on me.

Pattern Making : Hair/Girls

I took a break from vectoring to play around with some drawing. Starting with some post-it notes (which I love dearly) and my favorite Japanese brush pen.

I was on the fence about adding in girls, but then I figured there had to be a source for all that hair. Here's the result after playing around in photoshop:




Perhaps I was a bit ambitious by starting with something so intricate. Next one will be a little more simple. Until then...

Sketchbook : Girls & Type

This is a little something I started during winter break and finished about 2 months ago? Either way, it was fun, and inspired by milk... or at least the type was. Hand drawn type is fun. What more can I say?
