Cat Noir Finals
Here’s how the final pieces turned out! If you’re in the Portland area, you can check them out at Gallery Mini on SE 8th and Main St.
I definitely created the “cartooniest” work on display in the gallery. I’d like to go back in and work on these pieces a bit more because I really like the concept. I was just a bit rushed to complete them (which was entirely the fault of my time-management skills).
Cat Noir
Here are the pencil sketches for my 3 cat-themed noir pieces currently on display at Gallery Mini in Portland. I’ll post the final pieces later this week!
Thursday Afternoon Cartoons: Ooodles of Noodles
Another very silly idea:
Sir Slothington
May I present to you, Sir Slothington:
He is a proper gentleman sloth.
Aukward.
I got thinking about auks, and that led me to draw this:
If this makes no sense to you, may I recommend this Wikipedia page?
Thursday Afternoon Comics: Ooh Baby!
The concept for this comic popped into my head a little while back, so I had to draw it out in comic form:
I am going to be in some art shows this month! Yay! Now I just need to make artwork for the shows!
Readin’ with Sasquatch
Here’s the final art for my Powell’s tote bag submission. I really liked it, but it didn’t crack the top 10. Since a very similar idea did make the top 10 (and was way less cute, in my humble opinion) I have a feeling my design was passed over because I didn’t make the Powell’s logo big enough. Whatever! At least I got a nice little portfolio piece out of the contest.
More Sasquatch!
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Sasquatch because he’s the main component of an image I created for a tote bag design contest at Powell’s books. Here’s my linework for the submission – next week I’ll upload the color version (which is looking pretty adorable so far!)
