Etchings

from my printmaking class.

French Rococo to Japanese Lolita

For my Illustration and Raster classes, these were inked traditionally with pens and brushes in black and white, and then colored digitally in photoshop cs.

Kopecky Red

is a suite of monotypes for my printmaking class. The figures and birds i painted on plexi, and i used Citrisolve transfers for the backgrounds. The three characters are mine: Zophie, Krasna, and Pavla Kopecky. And the backgrounds are photos that i took when i was in New Zealand over spring break.

Eat Your Jellyfish

is an editorial illustration for my Raster class.

Pavla i kvetina

Twelve Crows and Fire

is the third assignment from my illustration class. It depicts the short story The Twelve Brothers by The Brother's Grimm.

BrokenDoll

Yellow

is a bookcover for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

Adam the Rooster

is a series of lino prints for my printmaking class.


The image was inspired by a friend who told me a story about a specific rooster named Adam. Part of the intention was to print it onto tshirts for a few people, but we haven't done it.

Cocoon

is a suite of woodblock prints inspired by the song by Assemblage 23.

Cocoon on Rives BFK, border print series.

Cocoon on dark brown yatsuo rice paper, bleed print series


The lyrics by Assemblage 23 transfered to Rives BFK via non-toxic transfer marker and photocopy of text.

Black Hearts

are a suite of prints I made for Valentine's Day. It is a woodblock print on newsprint, rice paper, and brown rice paper, in that order.

Ravinia

This is the poster design I am submitting for the annual Ravinia Music Festival poster contest.

"I wanna be a ballerina when I grow up!"

an Illustration sketch. Colored with prismacolor markers for fun.


This little girl is one of the characters on a poster submission for Ravinia 2007 that I'm working on.

Begin Spring 2007

Uploaded photos of Time-Map project (here) and Dream/Nightmares collaboration (here). I still need to scan Slice of Life.

I did get into the Comp. Raster for Illustration majors class, which is exciting 'cause I wanna learn to paint in photoshop! So I dropped Japanese 102 and Fund. of Ceramics. Which is unfortunate because that means I will not complete the Japanese minor I was hoping for, and because the Ceramics teacher totally rocks.

I did not get any good sketchs done during break, but I'm optimistic about this semester.

Talk at ya later!

End Fall 2006

Well, as soon as I am able to upload final photos on my Time-Map project, Slice of Life, and Dream/Nightmares collaboration I will be done posting artwork for Fall 2006.

And then I shall begin Spring 2007!
I am registered for my next Illustration class, as well as Intro. Printmaking, and Fund. Ceramics. Though I'll find out on the first day of class if I've gotten into the Raster class that I'm waiting on. If I make it into that, then I will drop the Ceramics. Either way, I am very much looking forward to Illustration and Printmaking.

I dunno if I shall get any artwork done over this winter break, being busy with work and all, but here's to hoping for some solid sketches!
